This year Blaketown school went to Grey High School to do a cool race that is called the Amazing Race.
There were different groups and everyone got separated. The first thing my group had to do was kick the soccer bowl on the fence. The fence was covered with photos of weird things. Two groups went to that activity. There was my group and another group. My group got lots of kicks and my group came first place for that activity.
The second activity was a bit difficult. We had to balance a balance a bowl of fruit on our heads. Then we had to stand on the balancing beam, then go around the cones and sit down and wait for our team leaders to add up the points. My group came second place because one of our group members kept dropping the fruit bowl on the ground.
The third activity was a bit confusing. Once again my group moved to the other side of the field to get to the next activity. There were pictures of Haka moves on the ground, my group had to put them in order. We had to do it three times before we finished. The other group was trying to work just as hard as my group. But we finished first, so we came first place again. We walked to the last activity on the field.
This one was my favourite it was a lolly activity. We had to pick up a lolly with chop sticks. Then we had to jump on the bench, around the bins, then jump on the beam, then throw a ball into the bucket then run to the table and put the lolly in the wood bowl. I managed to get two or three lollies in the bowl. We came first for the last time and our team leaders added up the points. Then a whistle blew and we ran to the field in a circle. Sadly my group didn't come first, or second, or third. It was so sad but we had a fun time. In the end we got to eat a few lollies and have a group photo. Then we started walking back to school and thought about the great time we had. That was one of the best days I ever had in my life! Written by Charlotte. Please comment!
