Field Day!!

Ok... I know I haven't updated my blog since January...
But, Field Day was today! It was SOOOOOO much fun!!! Killearn Lakes hosted a Pirate Day, Field Day event! There were games like, Fire the cannon, Octopus Tag, Pirate Hockey, and Survival Island. In
Fire the cannon: you just send the volleyballs over the net to the other side. The side with the least volleyballs win.
Octopus Tag: You avoid being tagged by the "It" (octopus). Four "It"s will have a stuffed octopus in their hand. All the others are fish. The fish will run toward the other side, to the white line. Don't get tagged by the running octopi or you will become a tentacle, you then have to help the octipi by waving your arms around trying to tag the other fish running nearby. A tentacle cannot move from its spot, only the octopi and the fish can run.
Pirate Hockey: Choose if you want to be a Pirate, or a Matey. A Matey will get their own nugget of treasure gold (a yellow ball). They will then try to protect and keep their own treasures to themselves by guarding the treasure with their swords (hockey sticks). Pirates will start off with no treasure, but they can steal from a Matey using their own swords.
Survival Island: This one was really fun! It was on our favorite playground! Their were extra step boxes on the mulch. You have to jump from box to box and get on every equipment on the playground without touching the shark infested water (mulch). But, a lot of people dropped out, and went on the spinny thing (a piece of equipment where you push yourself off and spin really fast!) instead. :) Even Mr. Mazur, our teacher, went on the spinny thing! He was spinning REALLY fast!

There is also a game where you get paired up with a partner and both of you get straps tied to your hand, opposite colors and connected by velcro. The playing field is FILLED with small foam balls. The object of this game is for you and your partner to work together and slap (no kicking, no throwing) the balls toward others. If a ball touches you, unconnect yourselves from your partner, exit out between the two cones with the sign EXIT, find a new partner with opposite color strap, and get back in the game between the two cones with a sign ENTRANCE. You don't HAVE to be hit by a ball to get out. Another way to get out is if you and your partner went in opposite directions, and the velcro unconnected on its own, you are out and are to find a new partner.
Oh, wait... Did I mention there were two moonwalks (bounce house)?
Field Day was REALLY fun!! After all that, we just went back to the classroom, and Mr. Mazur's class and watched a movie, but some played chess silently.
