R.I.S 50th Jubilee

Well the other week on Friday, it was a long day. Why? Because our school R.I.S had our 50Th Jubilee. So really we were just celebrating that our school R.I.S is 50yrs old. We have had a few builders and other people to make a sculpture. The sculpture is called Manaia and it is made out of marble.

So at the start of the day we all got into our class lines and sat outside waiting to be let go, and sit on the courts. So we got let go line by line. As a house we all walked into the gymnasium and sat down in class lines. Every house walked. But the only thing that sucked was that we weren't aloud to talk, whisper, fidget, or even move. It was so boring!

We had heaps of old people that talked about there past times at R.I.S. Some of them mumbled, repeated there words, or talked really slow or either really fast. It was so boring hearing other people mumble out random words. It took so long for all the visitors to enter the gym and find a seat. There was heaps of people that came to this school and that talked. We also sang the National Athem and also a few more songs after Purple house presented a powhiri. Overall we sat in the gym for at least 2 1/2 hours non stop.But Finally it was all over everyone had finished blabbering on about there past times. As we were walking out the gym house by house. I told the teachers that I was so bored that I counted 987 tiles on the roof and 66 lights. Now can you see how boring it was???

We walked outside and stood by the statue and stood up in lines. We had been practising a haka for so long just to bless the statue. So as a whole school we performed the haka. It felt so good. Then we did our school prayer. A few people talked about the statue and what it will achieve through out the school. So anyway if your feeling sad and a litte bit down and lonely all we have to do is go and sit inside of the statue and it should cheer you up.

After we had finished blessing the statue, Gold House ran to our tree were a few students were cooking up a sausage sizzle. We all got to eat two sausages each with tomato sauce I might add. So overall we had quite a good day and it did get boring but I guess it was for a good cause.
