Toroa Survivor2019 - Day 2 Pics!

Kia ora!

Today has seen Survivor continue into Day 2, with kids thrown right into a mixed bag of competitions, with little information to go on for what each challenge would involve.  Students had to choose between representing their house in the 'Buckets,' 'Losing Your Marbles,' 'Lava,' and 'Dress to Impress' challenges.

Here are some snaps of what teams came to discover the challenges entailed.



In 'Buckets,' teams played Bucket Ball, trying to eliminate the opposing houses' buckets by throwing their dodgeballs past the opposing team's keeper and into the bucket.



In 'Losing Your Marbles,' students had to build the most interesting and complex marble run that they could, given the paper plates, newspaper, and toilet rolls that they were supplied with.



In 'Lava,' students found themselves having to move their team from one end of the 'river' to the other, using only two small squares of carpet.



In 'Dress to Impress,' students had only newspaper and tape to channel their inner Coco Chanels and Calvin Kleins, creating the most eye-catching and fashionable dress for the catwalk.


Finally, a few students were identified as 'Masters' by their houses, and were tasked with re-creating Edvard Munch's 'The Scream.'  There were some beautiful pieces created from this that we will post at the end of the week.

The afternoon brought a frantic Cantamaths competition that had everyone desperate to prove their problem-solving prowess.  Scores will be averaged across the houses and tallied for the final scores, but there were some impressive runs from each house.  The placings will be quite tight.

That's all for today.  See you tomorrow for Day 3!
