On Friday 9th September,the day of the rugby world cup 2011 opening, we had a BIG school rugby day. The first thing we did was made huge corrugated iron rugby balls which read ALL BLACKS it is visible on both sides, school and road. We painted the letters white and the background black. Everyone wore black and white, some people even painted their face. Then we played a variety of rugby tabloids, they were ripper rugby, netball with a rugby ball and rugby relays. We also fundraised money by having a sausage sizzle for lunch at the cost of $2 each. With the money we raised we put aside for our school council to put to good use on the school. It was a great day for everyone. We also song the national anthem, done the Haka and raised the New Zealand flag. A couple of days later when the paint had dried, we hung the balls up on our school fence.

Five other Otewa Students and I have been working with Glen from Mad Cow Drums since term one of this year. We used coloured bands on our arms and leg to learn how to follow drumming patterns. We learnt beats first, then some fills. We look forward to Glen coming every Monday to work with us. Today we showed the rest of the school how far we have come. I would like to keep learning the drums because it’s fun.
