Next it was time for all the house captain and leader to get organised for the cheer and also to help them support their house colours.

When Mr Burt blew the whistle they all started to run, I was cheering  for my house colour ‘’GO GO Matatau’’ when the boys were next  to us we said our chants .Soon it was the girl turn and we did the same thing, it went on and on and on and on.  

Later it was time for the year 7 girl to run when Mr Burt press the button the alarm went on so they started to run when I heard Mr Burt say the year 8 girl I was really shaky but I was a bit happy but lucky we have to wait for one of them to came past the starting line for their second lap.
