Could it Be Today? By Ana

Wow! Today was a new day, but not just a new day it was the opening ceremony for the new bike track. This morning when we got to the bike track it was very hot. It felt like I was on fire! But soon enough Mr Pearse came along and started to talk to us and the teachers, well mostly the kids though. As soon as everybody heard Mr Pearse we all stopped and looked at him silently and then he spoke about stuff.

Awesome Ceremony by Divaan

Today it was the opening ceremony. All classes had to come to the field and Amy was there. Amy went onto the pump track and Reicoe, Nina, Sharnika, Cairo, Ezrah, Mathias and I gave art to the sponsors and we said a big thank you. After that Amy rode around the distance track. Then the Black Caps cut the balloons and Jayden and Craig Foss cut the ribbon.

Awesome Bike Track Opening Ceremony by Ezrah

Wow! Today was the official opening of our new bike track. I gave some art to a sponsor. There was a special guest. Amy Martin the under 15 BMX champion was there. We saw Amy going around the pump track without using her pedals. Then some sponsors hopped on a bike. There was a sponsor with an orange t-shirt who was able to go around without using his pedals like Amy. At the end our class got to meet Amy up close. After morning tea and lunch we made bike wheels with an axle and 5 spokes.

Amazing Opening Ceremony by Bostyn

Mahora School got to see Amy Martin the best NZ under 15yrs BMX rider. Amy went around the pump track. I think Amy has been practising a lot of times! When Amy went around the pump track she used no pedals. It was amazing! I couldn't believe my eyes. I said "holey moley! That is awesome!" Blake and Carmen asked Amy some questions. Some classes presented art to the sponsors. The sponsors had a turn on the pump track. They were awesome, especially Amy. There was a clown called Ma Hora. I think it was a girl because Ma is like Grandma. There were yellow balloons on the bikes. Craig Foss and Jayden cut the ribbon because it was Jayden's birthday. Then we went back to class.

Nina, Sharnika, Nicolas, Cairo, Ezrah, Mathias, Aradia, Reicoe and Divaan presented their art work to a sponsor. I didn't finish my work but that's okay. Bianca and Reicoe got to ride the new bikes. I can't wait until we get a turn. It's going to be awesome!

Bike Track Ceremony by Mathias

Today at 10.00am we went out onto the field for our bike track opening ceremony. There was a long yellow ribbon between two bikes. Amy, the NZ under 15 BMX champ was there. She did a couple of laps around the pump track. Next Jayden cut the ribbon with Craig Foss because it was his birthday. Ma Hora led 35 kids around the distance track. Then some sponsors rode some bikes around the pump and skills track. Before we went to morning tea there were helmets that spelled WOW on the cricket pitch. We had a photo under the helmets. To finish off the day everyone made a bicycle wheel. Today has been fantastic!

Grand Opening to Our Bike Track by Destiny-Paige

Today there was a ceremony for Mahora School’s bike track. The sponsors got a piece of art from a person from each class. Amy Martin is a BMX bike champion. This year Amy is going to the Netherlands to the BMX Championships. Amy went around the pump track without pedalling. Some of the sponsors rode a bike. Craig Foss, an MP cut the ribbon in between the bikes with Jayden. Jayden was chosen because it was his birthday. When Jayden cut the yellow ribbon, some of the Black Caps cut the yellow balloons and some of the sponsors and some of our community people pulled party poppers. 35 people rode a bike.
