Activ8

Look at this great looking bunch of kids - they are our Activ8 team who went down to KVC to do a whole lot of fun but hard activities. First we did a cross the river challenge, then a fill the bucket challenge. We had to fill the bucket but it had holes in it.

Our favourite activity was the spider web. You had to get your whole team through the web without touching the elastic, and once you used a hole, no one else could use it. Our team got 8/8 in that.

Next was the physical challenge and we all thought, "Oh no!" But it was no too bad. First you had to go under, over, under, over the hurdles then run to the monkey bars. It was so slippery that we all fell off. Then came the beams, but we did them easily. Then came the pyramid. We had to climb over it and it was high. Next was the climbing wall and then the pole. Then came a double bar thing that you had to go across without touching the ground.

The puzzle challenge was next and it was fun. You had to do lots of stuff and earn a puzzle piece but our instructor gave us the wrong piece. We finished it in 9 minutes.

Last of all we did a quiz but we did not do very well. On the way back to school, Travis' mum taught us how to say 'thank you' in South African. It is like 'by-a-donkey.'

We all had a cool day.
