Last day of School!

I felt tears flowing down my neck as I hugged one of my friends. Yesterday was the last day of school, meaning no more waking up early, sitting on the ground to much and doing work. I thought that I’d be happy to be going, but instead I felt like I was going to cry.


So in the morning we as team 5 students had our usual assembly, while the rest of the school was getting ready for our school assembly. Next to the doors in the breeze were a whole bunch of stuff that were not claimed by students, so Lost and Found. We were saying our farewells to four amazing teachers. Some were going to teach at other schools and some were getting ready to learn how to be a real teacher.


After the school assembly, team 5 went off the do our final clean up in our classes. We cleared out everything in our classes including the chairs, tables and bookshelves. Then it was morning tea, were we just eat and have out final play time with our friends. Once the bell went, me and my friends rushed back to class.


We had our final team 5 assembly and went to the hall. We listened to a few things our teachers and principal had to say. Our principal told us his story about his friend and to be careful when we’re near the Road, Rivers, and Rails. Then watched the year 8s do their prizegiving dance. Then they did their haka, and a few people joined and we all said thank you to our teachers. Honestly, I was quite happy to be going, but then I saw a few of my friends crying because they were going to miss me. One of the girls hugged me and said she was going to miss me.




Then a few minutes later my cousin started crying, and I felt so bad. As I walked around saying goodbye to people, one of the boys who don’t normally want a hug from me wanted a hug from me. So because I’m short I had to jump, but he bent down for me and I hugged him. While I was hugging him, I could feel his tears coming down my neck, and when I let go, I felt as if his face was a tomato, because it was so red. I saw his younger siblings so I hugged them, and a whole bunch of little kids ran to hug me. Me and my cousin went out of the hall for her to breath, and one of our nephews hugged us.



Shortly after all that stuff, she bought me a drink and we sat down smiling. Anyway, the reason why I never cried was because when something sad happens and I know I’m about to cry I think of happy thoughts. We all went our separate ways and I gotta go home happy.

Happy Merry Christmas and I wish you all the best for 2020!
