On Tuesday after morning tea room’s 19, 20, 21 and 22 went out for silly sports down at the bottom field. The aim of the game was to have fun and enjoy ourselves.
Our first activity was with Mrs Lagitupu. We played a game of ball tiggy and were all in teams. In this game we weren’t allowed to move when we had the ball. My team had a perfect strategy that was to spread out and aim at targeting one person at a time. We were up against the blue team and they had to try and tag us. We were running all over the place ducking and dodging the ball. I think this game was all about communication and co-operation .
After we had finished we were all worn out and were hoping that the next game with Miss T didn’t involve much running. We all walked slowly to her and saw some different sized balls and
hoops. As we were wondering what we were going to do in this activity Miss T asked for two strong boys who could hold the slingshot. That's when she told us that we were going to use the slingshot to throw the balls inside the hoops. We sat down in a line and waited for the next person to go up and have a turn. I was up first and felt nervous because I might of hit someone. I pulled it back slowly and let it go hoping it would land in the hoop. But it didn’t. A few students and its was Stevie’s turn. He had hit Nathaniel and we earned 10 points. It was so funny and Ms T found it funny too. At the end of this activity we had only scored 10 points. I think this activity was about accuracy and support.
Now we were starting to have fun and we went to Mr Harris. He told us to untie the knots that the other class had made out of the ribbons. We had to walk to the end cone back with
a spoon and a ball but there was a catch. We had to tie the ribbon around one of our leg and our partners leg. I was with Stephanie and we had strategy that was to march but march slowly and concentrate on the ball. When we dropped it we raced back to the start line and started again, we were not happy but had heaps of fun. This game was about team work and control.
Our last activity for the day was with Mrs Nua. We saw a bucket of water and a sponge and immediately knew this was a sponge race. Mrs Nua explained to us the rules and said to us that Miss Shermatic will put us in teams. We had a great idea which was to not squeeze the sponge. We got so wet and even some people drank the water. (GROSS) At the end of each challenge we thought we had won but it was the purple. This challenge was about team work and having fun.
I had a great day doing silly sports and I hope we can do it again.
Hey Chelsea! My name is Taylor and I'm a student at the University of South Alabama. I'm studying to be a teacher. It's great to see that you have a blog and are learning how to use this form of communication! I'm glad you had so much fun on silly sports day. When I was a kid we had something similar that we called field day, because we spent the day on the field and did all kinds of games like the ones you played. I thought it was really cool that you have tea time in school. That's not something we do in America, but it sounds like it'd be a lot of fun! Well, I hope you have a great school year and learn as much as you can!
