Top House

On the 21st of February 2014 we did a top house competition which is the best house out of all the house colors. There are Pukeko which is red , Tui which is black , Kea is green, Hoiho is yellow, Takahe is blue. It was just the senior school doing top house.

There were year 4s year 5s and also year 6s doing top house. There were 5 activities that we had to do where we were all standing in hoops and we either had to throw a tennis ball which the The tennis balls were just normal tennis ball, , or throw bean bags that were all different colors    and one of the bean bags was a blue turtle. When the tennis ball or the bean bag got to the end and the person that was at the end had to roll the ball or throw the ball or if it was a bean bag it was the same thing with that. How many balls or bean bags that you got in the hoop is how many points that you got for that activity that was with Ms Roil. she teaches in room 10.Then after you have put the bean bag or tennis ball in the  hoop the person would run to the start of the line and start the activity again and it keeps on going until the whistle blows for each activity

Then after you have put the bean bag or tennis ball in the  hoop the person would run to the start of the line and start the activity again and it keeps on going until the whistle blows for each activity   Then the next activity that we did was with Mr Ford he teaches in room 20. so the activity that we did with Mr Ford was he had hurdles out and bites of carpet on the grass and we had to uses them to get across the grass because the grass was very poisonous and we would die if we touched the grass.

The next activity was with Mr Cottrell who teaches in room 7. The activity that he  throw the jack in the bucket, if that person got the jack in the bucket it would be a point for that person,s team. At all the activities we were facing one of the Hoiho teams. There also was a counter from each team. We got 41 points and that Hoiho team didn't get as many so we won that one activity against Hoiho.

The next activity that we did was with Mr Moriarty. We had to do a three legged race to the cone and then pick up a ball and roll it and if it hit the cricket wicket you got a point for your team like all the other activities that we did.

The next activity was with Mrs Lowe which was the teams was all in a line and we had to touch each others shoulders. There also was a batten that we had to pass down the line. When you have it and you have passed it to the other person beside you run to the front of the line. Then you do it again until the whistle blows and then that's the end of that activity. I felt a bit nervous but then it was alright after that and I got straight into it.
