EOTC Week

On Wednesday we had Youthtown come and everyone was excited and once everyone was ready Miss Cooper put us in our groups but my mum was there and so obviously I was with her and so everyone else got in there groups.Then we went outside to meet the instructors and they told us the activities and then they told us what groups were doing what and we were doing archery first.

So we went down to the bottom courts and sat down behind a line of rope and the instructor showed us how to hold the bow and then the foot stance and then how to shoot the bow.So we all got three rounds and tree arrows to shoot per one.Then we had a competition and our team was called 

the bull-eyes and this time we only had two arrows to shoot and the first shot it hit the board for ten points and then it hit the red for 50 POINTS so I got 60 POINTS overall!!!

Soon we walk back up to the field to do Flintstones Cart Building and so we sat down and the instructor was holding some rope and bamboo.So then he told us that we were going to make the car from The Flintstones it was a TV show if you know it.So our instructor told us we had to try a new knot and we were going to use it on the car so we did that and then gathered everything that we needed like 2 blue barrels the poles of bamboo the string and then put everything together and then tied everything the knots on the car.Three people were allowed in it at a time and so we all got into groups of three and then our instructor got a group to go in first and sadly it wasn't my group so they jumped in and everyone got into place and pushed them...finally it was our turn we were the last one's to go on and so we went on and it was really fun and that was the Flintstones Cart Building.

The we ran to the handball courts to do some Problem Solving Games.So the first game was a mine game were we had to jump from pad to pad in a secret pattern if not you would get blown up by a mine.Later on we found the pattern and I was the first one to make it through!!!Then we played a game were we had a pipe and the lady would drop a marble down and we make a track all the way down to a plastic cup and the marble had to land in it and we failed that big time we couldn't control the marble properly.Then we played a game were we had to get across a lake to the other side and we had two long pieces of wood and we had to get across with them and so that was pretty.

Then we walked down to the gully to do walkie talkies and so we sat down in our amphitheater and the guy told us how to use them and stuff like that.Then we played a game like hide and seek and so there were two teams which were the runners and the seekers and I was in the runners team so we had to hide and give them clues as well.We gave them some clues but they found us!!!And then we all played some naughts and crosses and we won 1-2 games.

Then we walked back up to the field to do tipi building were we had to build a little hut so we got into groups of three again and sat down.The lady taught us how to tie a new knot and then we got to it and so we grab some bamboo tied it together put the blanket on and done!!!

And that was my favorite part of EOTC Week!!!!!!
