Kiwiana madness!

Last Friday it was Kiwiana Day. For the last two weeks we have had a homework project to make and decorate kiwi things. The categories  were D.I.Y sculptures, Super sewing, decorate a cupcake, make a sand saucer, fruit and vege sculpture and decorate a jandal or gumboot. These things were to put into the competitions in the  hall. We all had to enter 2 of them.  In the afternoon there was 4 kiwi activities that each of the houses went to. The activities were Gumboot Throwing, Jump Jam, the rugby relay and having a look at all the amazing creations that everyone had made. My favourite was Gumboot Throwing because you got lots of goes and it was my first time doing it. For the competitions if you got in the top 3  you got points for your house. I am in Van Diemen. The points ended up as Van Diemen & Waimea with 9 points, Hampden  with  14 points and Ngatiawa with 22 points. Kiwiana Day was fun!
