Sponge Throw

Walt: In this task we were asked to write a successful recount.

Have you ever got the chance to get your teacher soaking wet?

Well this morning I certainly didn’t expect to be throwing freezing cold sponges at my teacher.
This was so exciting and at the end Mr Goodwin’s face ( Mr G ) was red from the hard slaps of sponge.
If you want to find out what happened read on.

On a normal school morning Mr G told us we were going to be having a lot of fun. He explained our
instructions and told us that we were walking down to the field. As we were walking he was holding
flippers, scuba gear and big fat googles. It made me think would he be swimming somewhere, but then
where would he swim. After a long walk to the field it was already boiling hot but you won’t believe what
we saw. Mr Sommerville ( Mr S ) and Mr J were all geared up with smiles on there face, and it didn’t
look good for the teachers one bit.

Firstly we got told our instructions and what the game was called. The name of the game was target
your teacher. We had to throw freezing cold sponges at our teacher so they could get as soaked as
possible. Than the fun began. Mr S said “executioners ( us ) are you ready”. We said yes than hard
chilly sponges went flying in the air and smacking our teachers. Loseti dipped his sponge in the freezing
water, then he chucked it so hard it hit Mr G’s face and made it red the entire time, but that’s not it the
story get worse.

Paschal was so excited to target Mr G that when he threw the sponge it hit a part of Mr G, that you
don’t want to know about. The game paused for a couple minutes, and everyone was laughing and
cheering Paschal on, because it was just so hilarious. Finally the game continued and it was my turn.
I looked Mr G in the eye and said I’m going to get you so bad. So I dipped the sponge in the cold Ice
water, aimed at my target and fired with all my strength that I hit his stomach so hard he was sore the
rest of the time. I wasn’t finished yet I grabbed the wet sponge and rubbed it all over his face so that he
could have a nice freezing cold wash.

After all of that our exciting fun time had ended and it was prizegiving. Three students got chose to
get there bucket and tip it all over their teachers head. Our winners were Chance, Loseti and
Paschal of course. They were all amazed when they got chosen and one by one they each tipped
the Ice cold water over Mr G’s head. He was soaked compared to the other teachers.

I had such a fun time with my friends. I recommend your class should do this activity to because
you will build a lot of friendships like we did. That activity was so fun and I wished it had never end.

Task description:
In this task room 7 had to create a successful piece of writing. Our writing Included us throwing freezing
cold sponges at our teachers so it could hit them as hard as possible. This was really fun when we
did it.

Here's a video from the day.

Rubbish pick up

This morning room seven went out to do something really fun that included rubbish. The best part is we’re helping our school, our area and our community. If you want to find out more read on.

In the beginning we all went out onto the reserve, as a small tight bunch. As we were walking I could feel the freezing cold breeze, flowing towards me. After quite a walk we finally made it to the reserve, and Mr Goodwin ( Mr G ) told us to get into five groups of five. After awhile of sorting kids into their groups, Mr G finally told us what we were about to do. He held up rubbish bags and said “you will be having a competition to see who can pick up the most rubbish out of every team, also the winners prize is ten minutes of something cool”. We were all so excited because we knew what the cool prize was.

Finally it was competition time. We had a lot of boundaries that we had to stay inside of, but that didn’t hold us back from trying to find every single piece of rubbish that we saw. Mr G blew his whistle and everyone raced to this one spot where there was so much rubbish. After that there were many more rounds, than it came to the last round in our own school on the field. We all saw lot’s of yucky rubbish around us, but we knew it was for a good cause. Mr G said “ On your marks, Get set, Go!!!” and we all dashed to the furthest corner, raced to where we could see the most rubbish and we even looked in the class bushes.

We all had to come in and find out who the winners were. I had no hope that my team was going to be the winners, after I saw Toby’s team’s rubbish bag. It was filled up to half way, but if they had a jandle in their bag they would’ve been disqualified from the competition. Than we all lined up in our teams sitting down, and Haare checked the bags. She said she wasn’t quite sure at first because all the bags were so full, so she went for the last bag check. Then she said the winning team is Toby’s team.

Overall even though my friends and I didn’t win I still was proud of all of us because we picked up so much rubbish. We also did it for a great cause to help our school, and our community. I would really like to do this again because it would help our area get cleaner and cleaner.

Task description: In this task room 7 had to write about our experience with picking up rubbish. We went around our area to pick up rubbish and the winning team got a prize.
