On Thursday and Friday in Week 6, Team 4 had activity days. There were different teams. There were Tui, Kea, Pukeko and the best one ever, Weka. I was in Weka. We had our own leaders and teachers. My teacher was Miss Tuiā and my leaders were Ciannah and Willy. All of Team 4 were put into different groups. Team 4 were meant to have Year 5 and 6 camp, but because of Covid19 we couldn’t so we had to have these activities.
The first rotation my group did was Slip n Slide. A Slip n Slide is when there is a long plastic sheet that is sprayed with water and soap. While the slide was getting soaped up and wet, my group put their togs on. Some of us weren’t sliding because we didn't have togs or we had a note. Before we started on the slide, our teacher made us warm up by making us run to the gate and back. My group went on the slide and then after a few minutes, we played a game with a cone. It’s when you have the challenge to get the cone in the middle of two people. Then after that, most of our group went on the slide again and again. We played the game with the cone to dry up in the sun a bit, and then we went back for another round on the slide. We finally finished on the slide, and made our way back to class with everyone else to have morning tea.
The next rotation my team did was Multisport. Multisport is when you play different sports at the same time and have separate groups. Our groups were A, B, C and D. I was in Group C, and we had a to challenge Group A. It was so fun. Group B and D challenged each other in soccer and Group A and C challenged each other in volleyball. Then we switched over to soccer. When we played soccer, half of my group left and there was only me, my friends and one boy. The other team had about 2 people and so one of our players had to go on their team. We played for a long time and the keeper kept beating us. Ke kept on losing until one of our players kicked the ball from far and I kicked it and scored a goal. We kept playing soccer for a few more minutes and then the bell went for us to have lunch. A part of our lunch was ice cream from one of the teachers, but we could only have it if we finished all of our lunch food. Then we were allowed to go play.
After lunch we played Cyclo-Soccer. Cyclo-Soccer is when you have a bike, a big yoga ball, and you have to try to hit the ball with your wheel to your goal. We, of course, needed a helmet for this game. Our group got split into 2 different teams and coloured bands. I was in green and the other group was blue. Mr Jacobsen called a number and that's how many people had to go out on the field. It was just like soccer but if we put our feet on the ground, we had to ride away. We were also not allowed to kick the ball with our feet. It is a really really fun game but kind of dangerous for some people. After that it was home time.
On Friday, the next day, we carried on with our activities. The teachers told us where our next activity was. My group was on scooters and skateboards with different games like ping pong. I stayed on the skateboards most of the time because I like skateboards. My friends were on the scooters or inside. I decided to go inside and play ping pong, and look at the other games. Then I went back outside and played on the skateboards. The bell rang so we had our morning tea.
We had our lunch because the teachers told us we were going to have something special for lunch - pizza and fizzy drinks. We got split up into groups again so that we could watch a movie. There were two groups in each room. I was with Tui and we were watching a movie called Encanto. Before we had the pizza and fizzy, we watched a little bit of the movie. Then the teacher told us to line up and get our pizza and fizzy drink. We went outside to eat so we didn't make a mess on the carpet .We had the pizza and drinks and then when we were finished we went back inside and started watching the movie . We started from the part we were on . Then in a couple minutes we went to go and play and help the teacher put some things away .We went out and played for our break. When we came back we watched it again but from the part we were on.The teachers started giving out lollipops and lollies. The movie ended, and then it was home time.
Team 4 Activity Days were so fun. I enjoyed being with my friends and doing different activities at school. I can’t wait until Year 6 Camp at the end of the year.
