Getting excited about rugby!

All of New Zealand is getting hyped up for the opening of the biggest sporting event our country has ever hosted - the Rugby World Cup.  All of the competing teams have arrived and are settling into their host cities and all the rugby fans are showing their support by flying flags from their cars and putting up banners around their homes and shops.

At our school we are showing our support for the All Blacks and our secondary team, the Irish by putting up flags around the outside of the office, and posters and balloons inside the office.  We even have a huge silver fern painted on our road-front to support our favourite team.  WE BACK BLACK!  Go the All Blacks!
