On Friday (14th of Dec.) I graduated from Primary/Elementary! Today is the first day of the weekday summer holidays and since I don't have much to do today I will post about my final week in Primary/Elementary!
Monday.
Nothing important really happened. Just some practices for the celebration and graduation.
Got presented that triathlon was tomorrow (Tuesday).
Tuesday.
Was nervous for triathlon that I kept on screaming in class. My friends told me triathlons are not such a big deal if you win or lose.
Late morning came and the triathlon started. Swimming was first, then biking, then running.
Instead of swimming, I ran in the pool looking different than the others ACTUALLY swimming.
Biking time! I struggled to put on my helmet but got on with it then biked around the track looking crazy biking in swimsuits (I got so humiliated when boys were looking at me, eek!)
When I reached to the running stage I nearly fainted of tiredness and I went the wrong way (we were meant to turn but I went straight)
When it seemed like one thousand years, I finished the triathlon! I got in one of the last places.
Samantha E. didn't do the triathlon so she was left on the field burning (since there wasn't any shade).
Wednesday.
I actually forgot what happened when Wednesday stroke. I'll edit this post if I remember or someone reminds me.
EDIT:
My class and another class had a shared lunch in the school garden. On the picnic rugs were biscuits, sandwiches and other delicious and healthy foods.
My pikelets (mini pancakes we call here in New Zealand) that I cooked were gone by a minute that I didn't get a chance to have a little nibble.
My class and the other class pigged out on all the food and enjoyed it.
After the shared lunch we had another break to play with friends, run errands (if you're a senior or teacher) or do as you please.
When the break finished we had a secret Santa and this time it was just our class.
Whenever a boy has a girl or a girl has a boy for Secret Santa, we made 'eee' noises and felt romantic.
A boy got me for Secret Santa and my classmates made the 'eee' noise. I ignored it.
But lucky for me, I had a girl for Secret Santa.
The classroom was noisy filled with talking, opening presents and laughing. I loved that kind of noise.
Thursday.
The day of our Prizegiving. It was presenting the winners of the top four in each class, the student who showed faith in actions, 100% attendance, etc.
When they showed which house group (groups which participate in school events) won the most amount of house points it was my house group who won! Since I was a house leader I got up to the stage and accepted the award.
It was also the day when my best friend, Samantha, left New Zealand in the morning. Te Mania, Samantha I and myself took a final photo together along with two other girls who were our classmates.
In the evening we had a Thanksgiving mass and graduation.
Friday.
In the morning I started to cry. I am going to miss my primary/elementary school so much (I've spent five years studying there and I will miss everything we do at school) but I had to face the fact that I was finishing and I was only supposed to be there 'til year six.
School was going to end at 12:00pm so time was limited.
In the morning my whole class had a big tidy up putting all our desks on the lino, vacuuming the carpet and tearing off the paper on the walls.
When the final hour of school arrived all of the school headed for the hall to farewell the year six students going off the intermediate. Each year six held and candle and a laminated sheet of paper. The younger students sang a song to us.
At the end we did Gangnam Style and everybody hopped onto the stage and did the dance.
Gangnam Style playing on your graduation was awesome! It was possibly the best graduation of my life.
I felt so tired and sad about school ending. Well, once again, I had to face it. I just have to work hard and look forward to the future.
