Water fun day!!

On Wednesday 12th February our whole school had a very fun opportunity to get wet and play with our friends. In the morning some teachers and students were getting all the fun activities ready and planning for the day. Students and teachers came dressed in their beautiful house colours : Kauri (Green), Kowhai (Yellow), Nikau (Blue) and Rata!! (Red). People had very creative ways of dressing up. 

Before the day started the water couldn’t really work because there were people on the roads doing some work with the water. So we had to go around the whole school and see if the water was working. But only the juniors water would work. After filling all our buckets up we finally started. 

So the whole school had about 6 amazing activities altogether. Heaps of kids were very excited so each house colour did their own chant. It was really funny because other houses kept wetting each other even the teachers. We had water guns and other water toys to wet people.

Our first activity was in our school pool. We basically just had free time and played with some swimming gear. Next the bell rang and we had to go to our next activity Water Bombs by both Miss Smith. In that activity we had to try and throw as many balloons to each other. But we had to try and not drop it. It was really funny because heaps and heaps of people kept dropping the balloons.

After Miss Smith’s activity we went to Miss Kyee with her activity. In that activity we had to get a yogurt carton and run to our house bucket and fill it up until it gets to the top. Some of the people from my class started cheating but it was really funny because Miss kyee kept chasing everyone with the water guns.

Then our next activity was Mr Nath. Our goal was to get a cup which had four holes on the side, then try and get it to our house bucket again. After that activity we had the slide with Mrs Atuahiva and Mrs Pome’e. In this activity we had to a cup again and slide down with our cup in our hand. Then run to the bucket to fill up.

Our Last activity was will Mrs Ripata and Mrs Pa’uvale. We had to dip a sponge in the bucket and run it to our court to squeeze the water into the bucket. And that was the end of our Water fun day!! Before all the classes went for morning tea Mrs tofa announced the winners for 2020. Kowhai came 4th place, Kauri came 3rd, Rata came 2nd and Nikau came 1st!!!
