The Mini Olympics

It was an icy cold morning as I entered our school grounds shivering from the freezing winds. Even though I hadn't even started the day I thought to myself "this day is going to be the worst day ever!". But luckily there was some great news. There was the mini olympics!!!!!. That news made me so happy I rushed straight to the hall to help Miss Va'afusuaga set the obstacle course and other activities up. 

Once we were finished the bell rang and all the classes started to enter the hall and get into their house groups (Te Arawa, Mataatua, Takitimu, Tainui ). Then Mr Burt had a talk to the seniors (which was year 5 and up). Once that was out of the way we went to our first activity.

Our first activity was with Mrs Flavell. This was a mysterious activity and since I was the leader of my team I was looking forward to this part of our journey. Her activity was being held in the library so my team and I entered the room with nervous apprehension about what our team was going to do. But once we were all sitting down thats when Mrs Flavell revealed that we had to get into 2 groups. One group was going to draw on a shell the most olympic things they could think of. The other team had to create a design on a cookie. Once Mrs Flavell finished explaining the rules we got down to business.

It was my decision to go to the team that was drawing on the shells. Once I got stuck into the activity it was starting to get really exciting. Sure enough the time was over and it was time to display our projects. Mrs Flavell liked all of them but never said which one of them was her favourite This was one of my favourite activities and I can't wait until we do something like this again.
