NZSO

 Last week on Thursday the Senior Syndicate went to go watch the NZSO (New Zealand Symphony Orchestra) perform at the town hall.

We went in a bus to get there, when we got there, there were a lot of schools there it was like a Tsunami of kids. then we went inside it was Magnificat it looked like they were waiting for the Queen to walk in.

Then we got taken up the stairs by one of the staff members. There was a red carpet on the stairs then we sat down and waited for them to start, I was in the front row.

As we waited they came out in groups and started tuning their instruments. then the host and the conductor came out and the show began. It was the story of Peter and the Wolf and each instrument/group of instruments play a character.

Peter was played by the Strings, The Bird was played by the Flute, The Duck was played by the Oboe, The Cat was played by the Clarinet, Granddad was played by the bassoon, The Wolf was played by the French Horns and the Hunters were played by the Timpani/Drums.

I really enjoyed the performance because it was a different experience.

Mud run

 WALT: Try something new.

 Today Room one and some other schools went to south Brighton domain to do a tough run (Mud run), we ran over some tires and then we went through a obstacle bouncy castle. Then we ran through a forest part for a while, and then ended up at this part where you had to climb over gates and climb under ropes. After that, we ran through more forest and ended up by the eastery and climbed under a net, and then we ran through the water where we splashed everyone else. 

Then we had to go under the bridge, I ended up hitting my back on the bridge, it hurt! Then we kept going until we reached the otherside. We got out at the end of the bridge and ran back along it. Then there was a muddy section just off the bridge, where we ended up at another mud rope obstacle. After that we then we went through more mud and I fell over. 

Then we ran for a while an did a big loop in the water. Then we got out at the other end and ran further down to another water loop. Then ahead of us we saw a slip in slide with a foam machine, I slid across that. We went and jumped in a little paddling pool, there were 5 of them. Then the finish line was in sight, we ran to the finish line. As we crossed the line we got sprayed by a fire truck.
