The William Ellis trophy

Chris Jack came with the William Ellis cup to visit Hampden st school. william Ellis is the person who invented Rugby. Chris Jack was 9 when New Zealand won the first ever rugby world cup.We weren't allowed to touch the cup and if we did then one of the guys who is looking after it would have to clean it all night. One of the men had to fly up to Auckland just to get the cup because it wasn't allowed to travel by itself. On the way to Nelson the cup had to have it's own seat with a seatbelt in a case.We got a photo with Chris Jack and one with the cup.

The Masked Parade - Nelson 2010

The other day Hampden St School went to the Masked Parade to show off our creative masks of the Yellow Submarine which we did for our production. At five o'clock we all had to meet up at B7 at five o'clock in Montgomery car park. After the judging had been done it was time to get rolling and start the parade which would go out around past Subway then down to Fashion island and down past the radio station back into the ocar park.We all had so much fun at the Parade and also at the festival afterwards.
