Our Mini-Olympics

YEAH!! Once I heard we were having a Mini-Olympics, I was so EXCITED! I couldn’t wait for it. Team 4 and 5 gathered together in the hall to get ready for the Mini-Olympics. Our teams were told what our rotations were and went on our way.

 I was in Taki 1 and we were up against Tainui 2. Our first activity was running relays with Mr Burt. The first relay we did was tennis ball hop. We had to put the tennis ball between our legs while hopping to a bucket where we drop it into. Unfortunately, we lost. The next relay we did was with a hula-hoop. We had to swing it around our arm while walking to the red line. “YEAH!” I cheered as we won that relay. The final thing we did was tennis ball shoot. We had to shoot the tennis ball into the bucket. Two rounds we competed in. My team lost the first round but won the second.

After those relays I was feeling great. Taki 1 then headed towards the library to see what Mrs Flavelle had in store for us. When we entered, I saw icing sugar and felt tips. I knew this would be interesting. Mrs Flavelle made us choose between a shell of                      a`biscuit. We had to decorate them with one of the two ingredients. I chose felt tips. Our theme was the Olympics. I drew the New Zealand flag. It wasn't great, but it was still good. This activity was cool, but not one of my favorites.

After that cool activity with Mrs Flavelle, I was calm and relaxed. Then I found out we had to jump jam. “OHH NOO!” I said to myself. We had to go to room 17 to do jump jam with Miss Muliaumaseali’i (Miss M). Our dance that we were doing was called ‘Pump It’. Miss M gave both teams 50 points. You could earn more  from dancing really well, or you could lose some for sitting down. We earned some because we performed it two times. It was so cool. At the end of the session, I was so puffed out. Thankfully we headed to the hall to watch PENN.

I really enjoyed this morning because its better than writing and reading. Also, I got to hang out with my mates. It was a fun morning and I hope we could do it again.
