On the 6th
November the Year 5 and 6 children went through to Balclutha Recreation Centre
for the sports extravaganza. Everyone from our school was put into a group with
some other children from other schools. Each team had a different leader and
group name. There were about thirty six groups and there were three groups at
every sport or activity. We took part in a range of different sports and
activities both inside and outside, some of which involved water. There were twelve
different activities running. Some of the activities were tyre pull, obstacle
course, hockey skills and vortex throw. At the end of the day Mitch, one of the
sports extravaganza’s organisers, told us who got the most wins or points and
then that team got to stand and they got a big clap. The children felt really
excited when they left Milton on the bus and couldn’t wait to get started.
Everyone had a great time taking part in these activities. Afterwards everyone
was exhausted. On the Wednesday of the same week the juniors went and took part
in the sports extravaganza and had just as much fun.
