At 11.30am we jumped aboard two buses and headed into the city. Everyone was very excited about what was going to happen.
Once in town, we piled off the buses and into the Christchurch City Council Building. I don't think the staff and other people in the building really knew what was going on!
We were lucky enough to hear Aranui School's Kapahaka and Pacifica groups perform before us. They were fantastic!
After a bit of waiting around, it was our turn!
Rimu performed their Jump Jam first...
Followed by the seniors Kapahaka....
.... and Kauri's Folk Dancing.
To finish our school's performance, the whole school performed "Mati Mahi Ka Ora" complete with NZSL.
All the YMS performances were amazing! We looked and sounded fantastic! All the parents who came to watch had huge smiles on their faces and there was lots of applause!
Next stop was a walk to the Botanical Gardens for lunch and a bit of a play (well deserved!)
The walk to the gardens was very exciting with lots of kids commenting on all the things happening in town. It is a very busy place with lots of building work and a lot more tourists wandering around these days.
It was a bit of a rush to make it back to the City Council building to get the bus back to school. We were all pretty tired and the trip back was certainly a lot quieter then the trip into town!
Once back at school we were all very tired so we finished the day with a play and some quiet time in class.
