WATER FUN Day 2020

Water Fun Day Recount

Glenbrae had Water Fun Day on Wednesday 12 February.

Water Fun Day is not just all about fun, it is also a competition

between four houses, the four houses are Nikau, Kauri, Rata

and Kowhai. Those houses have to fill up their buckets until

they are full and the most buckets are filled with water are the winners. 

The day started with our chant. Rata went first with their chant,

next was Kowhai, then Nikau and lastly Kauri. I was in Nikau.

We had six entertaining stations. Water bomb, Water slide,

Spongebob, Pool fun, Lava flow and Holey Moly. 

Room 7 first went to the pools for Pool fun. There we saw

Mrs Kelly and Miss Sangita. We all walked to the pool jumped into the pool.

We splashed, swam and lastly had fun. We

had toys to play with in the pool. Everybody swam and swam till we

got tired, but we can’t get tired yet because we had

to go to our next station.

Our next fun game was Water Bomb with Miss Smith and Miss Smith.

The aim of the game is to have a lot of water balloons inside your

teams bucket. The four teams went to line up to their cones.

One of your member

in your team have to pass the water balloons to you after you

passed back the

balloon go back to the back of the line, once your bucket had been filled and

your teams bucket had a lot of water balloons, you can pour that water into

the the large

bucket at the centre of the court. Afterwards we have to rotate to the next

station and that was the Lava flow with Miss Kyee.

Miss Kyee showed us how to play Lava Flow. The instructions were jump

inside the hula hoops the run to the court and fill our bucket. My team and

I were focused, as soon as the bell rang I filled the cup with water then I

dashed along the course while I was running I was beaming at the Nikau’s

bucket. It was splendid game. 

Afterwards, the next game was Holey Moly with Mr Nath.

The cups had holes so you had to block the water from draining out the holes.

I beamed to the buckets at the centre and I see that Nikau’s bucket is at the

second bucket, excitement gave me hope that Nikau will finally win. 

The bell rang and that means that its time for rotation. Room 7 next game is

Water Slide we had to line up and stroll up to the hill and grab a cup, fill it

with water and slide down to the court and put the water to their house bucket.

Everybody slip and slide down the hill.

Spongebob was our last game for Water Fun Day 2020.

This was my favourite game. The front person had to dip

the sponge and pass it back up and down when the last

person had the sponge, he or she have to run to their buckets

and give it a good squeeze. 

Now the rotations are done and we had to sit back on the courts

and wait for Mrs Tofa to announce the winner for Water Fun Day 2020.

She started with the last place, it was so tense,

Kowhai for last place, third place is for Kauri, second place is Rata

and first place is NIKAU. Shouting with laughter. But we were humble winners.
