On Wednesday the 18th the whole of Wainui Beach school went to the Showgrounds in Gisborne. When we got there the seniors ( year 6, 5 and 4 ) who were in the front row put on piupiu - Flax fiber skirts - and went on stage.
The Kaias were Bay, Materia and me ! I was really surprised when I was told I was going to be a Kaia because Materia was away so I did the leading and then I was told that I was going to be a Kaia.
Yes, I know I have already done a blog post on speeches but this is about speech finals. So yes I did get into speech finals and I was super nervous because the judge was Bevan Chapman who works on the radio. Spoiler alert : I won the year 5 category ! :-). I was really surprised because I thought that Rio would win, she did a speech on Jacinda Ardern. Jacinda Ardern is New Zealand's Prime Minister. As you know I did my speech about Kate Sheppard, (I am assuming that you have already read my blog post about speeches, BUT if you haven't I would recommend reading my blog post about speeches so you know what I am talking about)
So interschool athletics. Have any of you been to interschool athletics ? Well I went to interschool athletics in week 4 and didn't get into any finals but came 3rd in the 100 and 200 meter sprints, Wainui also came 2nd or 3rd in the girls relay. ( Wainui is the school I go to it's full name is Wainui beach school ). Interschool Athletics is when the top people from your school compete against all the schools in your area. I think that as a whole the school did quite well because everyone did well, had fun and were good sports.
