Our Richmond School Gala. 11/11/13
On the 8th of November Richmond School and I held a school gala celebration.We were thanking the people who had helped us throughout the years.Richmond School was open for 138 years and it is still standing now in 2013. The School was opened in 1875. Some of the old students that used to come to Richmond School still remembered what classrooms that they were in, at that time. Things have also changed since they had lift the school to go to intermediate. Richmond School used to be across the road by the park before it was build on this site.
Before the gala began at 4.30pm we had to set up everything. Hannah, Michael, Noa, Jakita and I were asked to help Whaea Jacqualene get the gala set up and ready for 4.30 pm when everyone was expected to arrive.
The first thing we had to do was to put the bread on the paper napkins to make it easier for the hot dog makers.Then we had to get the boxes of water that were in the hall and they were quite heavy to carry. After we had done that Michael and I had to cover four tables with rolls of paper and we also had to tape it down so the wind wouldn't blow it away. Then we had to put out the tables from room three but this time the whole of room three class had to help because Hannah, Michael, Noa, Jakita and I couldn’t get all of the tables out of room three in a small amount of time.We also had to put little colourful flowers in glass cups that were filled with water.After we had done everything we had to go back to class and leave everything else for the teachers to do after school when all of the children had gone home.
My opinion is that the Richmond School gala was really Awesome and Fun!!!
