America's Cup Hysteria

Room 32 have caught the New Zealand wide America's Cup excitement illness!! We have eaten a delicious breakfast at school for the past few days, while eagerly watching the America's Cup races. This morning at 8 o'clock the whole hall was filled with chattering children who wanted to watch the America's Cup races 12 and 13. Many early birds got to the higher seats and many late kids and parents got the lower seats or the free space on the floor. After lots of confusion we realised that the second race was postponed.  While the Year 5 and 6's waited for the reporters to explain to us what was happening to the race, we all joined in a game of Splat!  Later, in the class again, we noticed that everyone had disappointed faces on and they were not as cheerful as before. Sadly, we have lost our chance of winning the glorious trophy today.
