Toroa Survivor 2019 - Day 1

Kia ora whanau,

Survivor 2019 kicked off with a great April Fools prank where we told the students that it had been postponed until next week...some believed it, others realised the date!

After this short delay we got into it with the groups creating flags and chants for their house. This showed some amazing leadership and it was great to see the students trying their best. The flags are still drying, but this will be proudly displayed during the week and will be part of our finale game on Friday.

Here are some snaps of Day 1.

 Korowai started with the blind minefield: using trust and communication. 

Each house get to do all of the activities, and those with the most points/best times, will will points for their houses. These are totalled up throughout the week. 


 Whitau started with the Spelling Bee




 Kahu Kiwi- Number slap, what's the best strategy to slap the numbers in order in the fastest time possible? Everyone has to be involved.



 

 Harakeke made a good start on the general knowledge quiz- categories including geography and travel, sport and leisure, entertainment and science and nature


Students had 90 minutes to design and make a flag, as well as come up with and learn a chant for the house. 









See you tomorrow for day 2!

    Hi Marshal School!
    My name is Coralee and i'm a year 8 from Tamaki Primary School! When I was looking through your blog I ended up seeing your houses chants. I am part of Alamein which is yellow so I am really hoping for the yellow team to win! But my feedback is that the chants for the teams are kinda plain, but instead of that I think it was amazing. Maybe you can keep my blog and comment on it? https://tpscoraleep.blogspot.com

      Hi Coralee thank you for commenting on our blog. I am Bella i'm a year 7 student at Marshland School. We had so much fun dressing up in our house colours. I am also in yellow which is called Korowai. The cool thing was is that we got to compete in lots of fun challenges in our house colours.

      Regards Bella
