THANK YOU TELECOM!!

Have you ever been to the Telecom Christmas Tree event? If you haven't, you should go! It is held in Victoria Park at night time and it is also free.

Thanks to Telecom, this year some people from our school got the chance to attend this very exciting event. First we took a bus to Telecom and then we walked down to Victoria Park. Once we got there we set up and had something to eat.

There were quite alot of activities to do there. First my friend and I went to the Santa Line to tell Santa what we wanted for Christmas. Next a man gave us a decoration we could design. I chose a tree. On the back I drew MERRY CHRISTMAS and HO, HO, HO!!! 

After a while I saw my brother coming back with a box that had a light in it. I decided I wanted one, so I went in the tent and created one too! It had a brown kiwi, a sparkly Christmas tree, a Telecom sign and a laser light in the middle to light it.

Everything was so much fun, but I couldn't wait to see Titanium! They sang their hit song Come on home and more! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture with them! But besides from that I had a great night!!!

It was very entertaining and the tree looked amazing!!! It was so bright. I wish we could've stayed longer!

Thank you Courtney, Katherine and Telecom for making all this happen!!

Cross Country!

Walking through the mud to the starting point, I could see that the course was not going to be easy. Mr Burt clapped the blocks together and off the 10 year old girls went. "Oh, It's so muddy!" I could hear as I jogged through. 

Reaching the gravel road I saw puddles, and more mud. Jogging along, my friends and I are all not far apart. To get to the first bridge we had to go through heaps of muddy puddles. It wasn't very nice. Then before we knew it we were at the first bridge. That meant we were starting our run in the bush. 

There were heaps and heaps of places we could've slipped. But most people didn't. Near the last bridge I saw my uncle! He worked at Telecom and they were helping us. "Hi Uncle Kimana!" I yelled as I ran past. I was nearly there and man was I puffed. Finally I had finished!!!

I found that run much much better than last year's one. But I was very tired. Overall I think I did really well and I hope I beat my last one!
