Guess
what! On a lovely beautiful day we had the Kids for Kids rehearsal in
the day time and on the night session it was the real performance. It
was at the Life Convention Centre in Mangere.
First in the morning we had to come early before 8:30am and some people
came early some people nearly came late, I came a little bit early. We
had to get some morning tea to put inside the bag and after that Miss G
and Mrs Denney were making sure everyone was there and some people
nearly came late. When some people came I said “Hurry, run because we
are going soon” and they ran. After that nearly everyone was here, when
everyone was here at school, we lined up outside of Room 3 so we could
go. Foulahola was walking down the hill to see if the bus was there and
she ran fast to tell Miss G that the bus was there. Mrs Denney and
Viliami went down the hill first to go on the bus and we went after when
they left. When we were walking down the hill to the bus we went inside
it.
Mrs
Denney was at the back telling people where to sit, there were heaps of
seats and 2 people had to sit on 1 seat. In the bus I sat with Ma’ata
and also I sat quietly looking outside and there were cars and some
traffic on the road. When we got to the Life Convention Centre we got
out of the bus and Miss G came in the car at the same time as us, also
Mrs Carter and the Santa Maria choir were behind us on the road. On the
bus I saw Danya outside checking the schools.
After
when we got outside we went straight inside with Miss G and Mrs Denney.
When we got inside we saw different schools, we sat on the seats. We
had to get tallest to smallest, I was the third tallest. We were waiting
until our school name came up so we could sit on the stage. When they
called our school name we went up onto the stage and sat on the wooden
benches. Our school was the third to last to be called out. When all the
schools were on the stage we started. We sang Haere Mai first and also
we did some actions to the songs. When we finished the other songs we
went and had our morning tea before the second half. When we got back to
our seats Mrs Denney started to hand out our morning tea. After we
finished our morning tea we had to wait until they put us on stage.
While we were eating our morning tea Tokilupe and Rosalina had to go
with Chris to a room to audition. We were waiting until they called our
school name to go up for the second half and while we were waiting Paul,
Albert and I and also Misiotei decided to play I dare you. While we
were playing some people were still eating their morning tea. When we
got on the stage for the second half we started singing Glorafilla.
Chris said “Let’s have the soloists to sing”. When we sang all the the
songs for the night session some schools went back to their school.
When
it was finished we had to stand up in our rows, our school rows was 3
and 2. I was on row 3 because that was the tallest row of our school.
When we got outside of The Life Convention Centre we walked to our bus
and the bus was near the backstage. We got inside the bus and we had to
go all the way to the end so the other people could go on the middle
seats and the first seats. We were on the bus and it was quiet because
some people were tired and they started to sleep in the bus. When we got
back to school we woke up the people that were sleeping. We lined up on
the hill and Mrs Denney said “After our lunch we will have a game”.
When we got to our class we went and sat down on the mat to say our
lunch prayer. After we finished doing our lunch prayer we got our lunch
from our bags. We were outside eating our lunch and when we were eating
it Miss G came out with Ice blocks and that was our surprise. She handed
them out and everyone had one each.
While
we were eating our ice block some people went to the tennis court with
the balls to play doge ball and master and all those games. Mrs Denney
said “Finish your ice blocks before you come and don’t come with it to
the court” so some people we starting to eat it fast. When I bit the ice
block my teeth got cold so I didn’t bite it. When everyone finished
their ice block they went straight to the courts, while we were going to
the court some classes was outside. I asked Tangi if their class had an
Ice block and he said “Yes we did”. I heard that the Baraden College
girls brought the Ice blocks for every class. In the court most of our
class played doge ball so I decided to join in. Mrs Denney said “You
guys have 25 minutes and then we are going back to class”. We had a half
an hour in the courts. When we finished having a game outside the
tennis courts we went straight back to class.
While
we were inside the classroom we played a game that was called Good
Morning Judge. We played it until home time. It was nearly home time, we
got our bags and went outside to line up so we could go home.
My
favourite part was that we went on the bus to The Life Convention
Centre because on the bus we got to sleep. I felt excited when we went
to The Life Convention Centre. I was really proud of Rosalina because
she made it into the soloists and that means she had to sing at the
night session. I was really happy on the day because it was a lovely day
we had.
