Athletics day

On athletics day we dressed up in our house colors. Riroriro (blue), Mohua (yellow), Tieke (red). We watched everyone race and cheering them out. We ended up not doing the athletics but supported them throughout the way. I liked how we switched courses but took time in between to get a break.
