Mega Top Kids Challenge

On Wednesday 22nd of November, Year 6 students from Rm 9 and two year 7's went to the Mega Top Kids Challenge. Our first favourite activity was we had to put on some stilts and get a ball, you could hold on to it or put it under your top . You had to take the stilts off when you passed the yellow line. You then had to run between a horizontal ladder. You then had to climb up a rope ladder and slide down a steep slide. When you got off the slide you had to get your ball out and put it in a giant slingshot and attempt to shoot it into a big box. Our next favourite activity we did was we had to deliver milk bottles . We had to pass the milk bottles all the way down to where a plank was that had tubes underneath it so it would roll when people pushed it . When we had passed all the milk bottles down, we all ran down to where the plank was. Some of us grabbed poles that we had to use to push along the plank and some of us had to but the tubes in front of the plank so they could keep on pushing it. When we got to the first mailbox we had to deliver 3 milk bottles then we kept on pushing until we got to the next mailbox which was higher than the first one . Then when we reached the finish line we had to pick up a big piece of wood that somebody had to balance on and deliver the last milk bottles to a really really high mailbox . Another favourite was the balancing buckets. First you had to wait until they said go and then you filled up a bucket from a big box of water then put it on a balancing pole with a square at the top to put it on. Then you had to balance on planks and walk over hurdles then take the bucket off your balancing pole when you got past the line and pour it in a big tube . We had to get as much water as we could get into the tube in 5 minutes. Another favourite was the activity when we had to pull people along in sea biscuits on a water slide . There were ropes joined to the sea biscuits so you could pull them down the waterslide . The person in the sea biscuit had to carry a flag that they brought from the start of the slide. When the sea biscuit reached the end the person in it got out and stuck the flag in the ground. Then the people pulling had to pull the sea biscuit back to the start so we could pull down the next person. Another favourite was the one called Aotearoa. We had big puzzle pieces and we had to lay them out so we could cross an area. Then when we had made it across the area we had to pass all the pieces down and assemble them to make a picture of New Zealand. That's why it was called Aotearoa. Then our whole team had to climb up a big slide and slide down and put the flag on the flag pole. The first time we put it on the flag was upside down so we had to take it down and put up it the right way. But it got stuck so it took a long time to put it on. We beat the other team. We had a great time and would like to thank the adults for taking us there and for Mr B for organising it for us .
