The highlight of my 2020!

 On Thursday the year 8's had a night over at the Belfast rugby club rooms for their graduation. Some people showed up in a fancy car. When you got there you would walk up a blue carpet where all the teachers, teacher aids and assistants would be standing to clap you in. When you first walked you would get a picture with your parents and then you could go find your table that you want to sit at. Georgia Swale, Georgia Barratt, Maia,Carma and I all sat aft the same table along with our parents. We then got a bunch of group pictures with each other, I got a picture with Georgia Barratt and then we got a picture with Georgia swale and Carma and then we all got one with Maia and Jemma. We then sat down at our tables and we listened to a speech by Jeremiah and Georgia Swale. We then got called up table by table to go up and get dinner. There was so much good food, I think it was safe to say i enjoyed the food there.  After dinner we went to the dane floor and looked at the graduation sides people had made and we grabbed dress up props from a table and took more pitures, this time the girls got a couple pictures with the bois ( Toby, Archie, Connor ) And then I also got a seperate one with Toby for my mum. After more pictures we then had desert, After a while everyone finished desert and we chilled out for a bit then we did our dances. We started off with dances with our original partner from pre dance practise, I had Jeremiah as my dance partner, After the first 20 seconds we had to get our mum or dad and we had to dance with them. After a thousand years we did our footloose dance and everyone had so much fun. We then had our disco and all the girls gathered in a big circle and Jemma, Bobbi and I were doing the worm in the middle while we were all singing, it was heaps of fun. They then turned off the disco and announced the gifts. They went from class to class and we got a certificate along with a card with what we were. My card said loyalty. we then all got a Pounamu and all of them were blessed. after the presentations Georgia and Amy did another small specch together and then we all said our goodbyes and left.
