Active Room 8

Year 6 Challenge

The Year 6 challenge is when you play a game against Room 9 or 10. We play Capture the Flag, Dodge Ball, Seaweed and Run the Gauntlet. We play for a cup and a mascot called Snoppy.




Patter Tennis World Cup

We play doubles. Each person is paired up with another person and are given a country.
We have referees and we designed the rules. We play a round robin each team gets three points for a win. The top eight play in the quarter finals. Check the blog for who wins this.


Silent Ball

This is a class activity. Our whole class does this as a brain break when we work well. We pass a tennis ball around silently. You are out if you drop the ball, speak and also if you hit something.
The teacher can add challenges like; standing on one leg with one eye shut.






Dance to Some Music

The teacher picks a person. This person picks the CD and then the teacher will start the dance off then we are chosen to do a different dance move.









Capture the Flag

We go out onto the field with 8 cones. We set this up in a grid. Each team has one cone to grab and run over the half way line with it. There are defenders that have to be three metres away from the flag that can tag you. There are rescuers. If you get tagged you are rescued. We play for 15 minutes.

Optimist Yachting

We were learning to sail Optimist Yachts at Pandora Pond. We set up the yachts for sailing. On the first day we learnt to sail the yachts and get confident on the water. There were two or three people in a yacht. One held the tiller while the other person held the mainsheet. We had to work as a team.

We did a relay activity so that we could learn to sail by ourselves. The next day we played a game called Cat and Mouse to practice tacking.

When not sailing we went crabbing, swimming and also went for a walk.

It was really fun and exciting.
