Loop-A-Thon

Yesterday the year seven and eight classes went to Christchurch United Football Club, there we got changed into our running outfits. My outfit was a green tutu, green suspenders, green top and a pair of black shorts. Once we got our clothes on we sat down to get ready for our run. Our school was first to the starting line.

After we were allowed to hit the track, the first obstacle we had was the tyre run were you had to step into the whole of the tyre or you would tripped, next was the pallet wall were we had to climb the pallet wall to get to the next obstacle which was the bouncy castle obstacle course. The first bouncy castle had four balls where you had to jump on them to get to the other side, after that was the hay bale jump then it was the paint crawl. The paint crawl was where you had to crawl under ropes while paint was being splashed onto you. Next was the soap slip and slide and water filled pool. Finally we had to do a race to finish the course. Once I was done my first lap I did a second and got dressed then got back onto the bus to go to school.

 

Have you ever done a obstacle course/ fun run?

Netball Students VS Teachers

On Tuesday the 2nd the intermediates from New Brighton Catholic, versed the teachers in their yearly netball game. Each quarter was about 7 minutes long, the referee for the game was my sister who has also played against the teacher.

The first quarter, I was in  Wing Attack, Wing Attack is the player on the wing who is allowed into two thirds of the court and they try to get the ball to the goal they are trying to score. The next quarter I was in Centre, centre is allowed anywhere except the goal semi circle also the centre starts with the ball. The next two quarters I wasn’t on.

In the end the teachers beat the students probably by a lot, but that doesn’t matter because everyone on the student team knows that our teacher Mr Gray cheated.

Here are some pictures of our epic match,
