Top Team

On Wednesday the fifth of April Room 2 and most of Room 4 went to the Top Team games at Paroa School. We left at around ten past twelve and got there around twelve twenty five. All the schools that were there were Paroa, Kumara, Kororo and Blaketown. There were fourteen games in total and we all had our own teams.

The first game my team played was fill the pipe were team members fill up a pipe and the other team members have to cover the holes in the pipe. The aim of the game is to get the ball to the top of the pipe. There was another one where we had a bucket with holes in it and one person had to go across a course with the bucket on a stand that you hold. Then you have to put the bucket in a container at the end of the course.

There was also memory maze where you had to step on the correct block otherwise you go back of the line and another team member tries. We also had a game where we had to hold hands and get a hula hoop around in the order you get told. Also another game was the sack race and four people had to hop in a sack and get to the end and back to get as many points as possible.

Another game was the conveyor belt where we had to move in a conveyor belt shaped piece of plastic and walk to the end and back as many times as your team can. Then there was a game called hoop toss where your team can earn points by throwing a hula hoop on a stand. We got a few points on that one.

There was another difficult game that had to do with timing. It had giant ski’s and your team had to stand in them and move along together. I was giving out calls to move on a side but it was still difficult. It was a really fun day and I enjoyed it a lot.
