The Fantastic Water Fun Day!

Splash! What a overcast morning. On Friday the 7th of February we had our Water Fun Day. It started at 9:00am and finish at Interval. First Mrs Ripata told us the names of the 7 activities that we will be doing. Mrs Ripata told us that every activity will on be 10 minutes. When that 10 minute is over we will hear a whistle. Everyone was splitted into house colours. The colours were Rata, Kauri, Nikau and Kowhai. My house colour was red.

First activities we did was obstacle race. It was very tricky because when you get your water, you have to go under the chair and then run to our house colour bin. My team were all soapy and wet because we got wet by the hose. Every one were screaming, yelling out loud and supporting their teams so they could win. It was so enthusiastic. Ten minutes was over.

Next activity was the water slide. Everyone was excited. Of we slide down on the soapy slippery water. Sprinted to our colour house bin. It was cheerful and gleeful. Our team was supporting each other. Finally it was over. Time to do our zig zag. Almost every team ran out of breathe because you had to zigzag around the cones down the hill and sprint to the house colour bin and back up the hill. Ten minutes is over. Off to the sponge activity. The sponge activity was hard for because we had only three people. We had to swap every time. We were keen to do it because we didn't want to lose.

Afterwards our last 3 activities were so short because we ran out of time. The 3 last activities were 3 hand race, through the legs and walk the plank. Every single person was soak and wet and soapy as.

At the end everyone had to gather around the court to listen who were the winners. Mrs Tofa said, in fourth place was Kowhai and third place was Nikau. We all clapped for them. Mrs Tofa said that there were 2 teams that was in a tie. The teams were Rata and Kauri. We Were relieved to hear that Rata and Kauri came as a tie. We were all surprised. Mr Nath our leader in Rata, did a funky dance with the whole school. We all started laughing and we all said”, YEAH! YEAH!

And there was our water fun day experience. Wish we could do it again. Thank you to all the teachers who put their effort into making this day happen especially Mrs Tofa and Mrs Ripata. Thank you.
