Fantastic Fun Run!

 Hola! On Wednesday, Hornby High School was participating in a Fun Run. Everyone from year 7 to 10 was included. We did the fun run to raise money for KidsCan who help schools all around New Zealand. 

We all met up at Kyle Park and started off at 12:30 by doing some warm-up exercises. In our year group lines (Year 7/8 boys, year 7/8 girls, year 9/10 boys/ years 9/10 girls) we all got ready for the big "race". The fun run wasn't like a triathlon or anything, you could skip it, you could even walk it. Most ran though. 

To start off the fun run, we had to do 2 laps of Kyle Park, and while running teachers would throw coloured powder all over you. If you didn't want the colour thrown at you though, you could run another way. 

After the 2 laps, you had to run down a hill where there would be even more colour. Then you had to jump or go under some hurdles to find yourself in front of a bouncy slide. After you come down, you get big sponges thrown at you or even get sprayed by a water gun. Next, to end it all off, you get a lot more colour thrown.

Blind Ball

 Ni hao! Today in Hurumanu 6 (Health) we got to choose from a blogging choice activity. On the grid, there were 9 activities we could choose from. My friend and I chose to design a new game that could be played with the whole class during wānanga or hurumanu time.

We got a handball and started talking about the type of techniques we could use to make it interesting. At first, we just played normal catch. We kicked it a few times too but it wasn't unique. 

After a while, we didn't really come up with much so we just threw the ball to each other at a long distance.
