On the 2nd of February 2024 Top Team came to our school to let us have a fun activity day. It was so much fun! Let me explain what happened so you can see how much fun it was.
First we all got put into our house groups (Pompelia, Chanel, Euphrasie and Aquinas), then we got put into groups of eight in that house. After that we went out into Rawhiti Domain to do the activities. There were 12 activities and my group started on activity number 8.
We had 10 min’s to do each activity so we had to work FAST! Everytime the bell goes off we move to the next activity and then the next and it keeps going until you’ve done all of them. You also get points from the activities.
The first activity we did was an Egg & Spoon race (The eggs were tennis balls). We had giant wooden sticks to put the egg on and there were obstacles too. That made it hard. Once you get to the end of the obstacle course you put the Ball in the bucket then run back so the next person can go. Every Tennis ball in the bucket equals 5 points.
The next activity was a tower building activity and the highest tower wins. But you are competing with another group and that makes it harder and more stressful.
The third activity was a puzzle. The first group to finish the puzzle gets 10 points.
Then we had a sponge race which was one of my favourite activities because it involves getting wet because the sponges drip. You had to fill up the sponge then pass the sponge all the way down the other side of the line then squeeze the water out. When the timer of 10 mins goes the one with the most water wins 20 points.
We also had a bucket tower race where you put your full bucket on top of the tower then carry the tower to the other side where you tip the water from the bucket into another bucket. When the timer ends the winner has the most water in the other bucket.
Then there was a water pipe where there are holes in the pipe and what you have to do is some people cover the holes with their hands and some fill the pipe with water. The team with the most water in the pipe wins
There was another one where you make a slide then roll golf balls down the slide and into the bucket. Every golf ball in the bucket equals 5 points.
After that there was an activity called the tractor wheel. What you do is hop in a mat rolled up that looks like a tractor wheel and you roll with your group in it to the cone and then back.
Then there was Naughts and crosses, well you probably know that game, but this time it’s big and you have to run to it then put it down. First to win gets 10 points.
The last there was sack racing. First one to win gets 15 points.
That’s it!
