It was really fun because I love athletics and we all got to pick what to try and I chose 100 meters sprints, 200 meters sprints, and long jump. For sprints, I came 1st for both, and for the long jump, I came 2nd while my friend came 1st. The people who weren't interested in athletics had to play dodgeball and volleyball.
I found it easy to choose what events. I found it hard to compete against the other girls. I really enjoyed competeing in these events. Next time I need to write a bit more about athletics.

WALT: understand Niue language week
What is Niue language week about?
Niue Language Week provides an opportunity for students to learn, speak, and celebrate the indigenous language of Niue, through language, song, dance, cultural displays, and community events. Niue Language Week helps all New Zealander's journey towards shared cultural understanding.
Why is it important?
Niuean is a Polynesian language, belonging to the Malayo-Polynesian subgroup of the Austronesian languages. It is most closely related to Tongan and slightly more distantly to other Polynesian languages such as Māori, Samoan, and Hawaiian. Together, Tongan and Niuean form the Tongic subgroup of the Polynesian languages. Niuean also has a number of influences from Samoan and Eastern Polynesian languages.
Give three Niue words you know?
1.Fakamolemole / Please
2. Fakaue / Thank You
3. Malolo Nakai a Koe / How Are You?

WALT: practice what to do when an earthquake happens
What we did:
Today on October the 15th Ahipara school did an earthquake drill. We practiced the Drop, Cover, and Hold things in our class. We had to stay under our desks for a minute then try again after a few practices we heard the bell ring which means there's an earthquake drill. Then the whole school walked up on the field with our teachers and the roll. While we were sitting in our class lines our principal talked to us about how good we did and what we would have done if there was a real earthquake.
I found it easy to get under my desk. I found it hard to get under my desk quickly. I really enjoyed learning about what to do when there's an earthquake. Next time I need to move faster just in case there's a real one.
How to survive an earthquake:
When there's ever an earthquake you always got to get under a hard table, curl up into a ball, hold your neck and head, as well as your desk it's all, called drop, cover, and hold. But when your outside but also close to a doorway you could sit right under it, covering your neck and head.
