Just to let all our whanau know, the Bey-Blade Bike-a-thon was an absolute success. A thank you must go out to our whanau who got behind the kaupapa and sponsored their tamaiti in this awesome event. The bike-a-thon itself went throughout the whole day whereby those tamariki who chose to participate went in groups of three around the track as many times as they could. Below is a list of the amount of times each child rode around the bike track during the morning. Aniheta; 14 ½ times, Tutepakorarangi; 9 times, John; 8 times, Naru; 5 times, Rarotapuhikura; 25 times; Hare; 10 times, Te Kupu; 9 ½ times, Mihiata; 10 times, Kanuehi; 9 times, Wenarata; 4 times, Cedric; 1 time, Alyas; 6 times, Makere; 1 time, Tangitawhiti; 2 times, Georgia; 2 times. The Bey-Blades will be given to your tamaiti tomorrow afternoon along with a certificate of participation and a reciept for the purchase of your child's bey blade. Thank you also to Koro Rua who provided the pigtail poles for the track, management for providing sausages, bread and iceblocks, whanau who were able to pop in for the event, Kmart for suporting the event, whanau who gave bikes to the centre, whanau who brought their child's bike in for the day, staff who baked and cooked for the day, Puhi for sending letters out to whanau, Mark for mowing our lawn, and of course to all our Matariki staff who got behind the fantastic day.
