We made Hula Skirts and we were put into different coloured groups . My group was orange. It was fun making the skirt because I learned a new tying skill. We had parent helpers to help us with the tricky bits. There were fabrics, ribbons and feathers that you could decorate with. We had some photos taken.

One of the games we played was a Pirate game when we pretended foam noodles were Pirate swords. If you got touched under the knee you had to hop to a knee fixing station. 

Next week it is Athletics day and we are going to do some running races and tabloid sports. We have been practicing sprinting in the running lanes.
