Survivor Day 6: Overall winners

Escaped have taken out the Overall Winners for Day 6.  With only one day to go in the game, it is going to be super exciting to see who takes out first place.  At the moment there are only 2 points separating first and second place.

Survivor Day 6: Winners of the day

Two teams took out the title of Day Winners for Survivor Day 6.  The teams are The Red Paper Pirates and Escaped.

Survivor Day 4: Brain Challenge

Working furiously to complete the hardest brain challenge so far!  We had to decipher a code and then translate that into English....it was all very tricky!

Puppet Theatres on Show!

Physical Challenge for Day 4.

Mrs Young is a complete genius with the challenges she provides for us.  Today one member of our team had to hold a cricket bat in one hand just above the rail of our deck.  Teams were eliminated as their cricket bat touched the rail.  The times ranged from 18 seconds to the winning time of 3 minutes and 44 seconds....Erica in 'Deep Blue' won the game!!!

Erica:  "This challenge was painful but I didn't find it that hard and could've kept going if I needed to."

Starting Day 4 of Survivor!

Day 4 began this afternoon.  We are all working so much better in our teams and the scores are incredibly close.  We wrote down the riddle for the Brain Challenge which Mrs Young warned was going to be a difficult one!  Here are a few of our groups doing the prep work for Day 4.

Overall winners for the Survivor Game so far!

Our winning team overall so far is 'Escaped' and they are made up of Kennedy, Joshua, Connor and Bailey.

Connor:  "We've been the leaders twice now and I feel more comfortable but it is still close."
Joshua:  "I'm excited that we are winning so far and I hope we win the whole game."
Bailey:  "I feel really lucky because the scores were so close between all the teams, I didn't think we had a good chance."

Winners of Survivor Day 3!

Our winning team for Day 3 are the 'Red Paper Pirates' who include Asia, Danielle and James.

Asia:  "It was good to win Day 3 because we got a Milky Way Bar but it was also good to get everything finished."
Danielle:  "I was pretty happy because we hadn't always got everything finished on the other days."
James:  "It was good to win because I picked up my game a bit and tried to do a lot more work."

Physical Challenge for Survivor Day 3

The Physical Challenge involved each team transferring 15 pebbles from one container to another using only a straw.  This was hilarious to watch and not as easy as we first thought.

Brain Challenge for Survivor Day 3

The Brain Challenge for Survivor Day 3 was broken into two parts.  The first part involved completing a wordfind and the second part had us using certain letters of the wordfind to create a phrase.

'Escaped' are made up of Connor, Kennedy, Bailey and Joshua.  We won Day 2 of Survivor with 77 points out of a possible 90.  Our overall score for the game is 168 out of 190.  This means we are also winning overall......so far!

Our Puppet Theatres

During this term we have been working on creating puppet theatres and puppets.  Every Friday we take part in Drama with Ms Jackson and she wanted to challenge our drama skills by having us work with puppets as we perform plays from the school journals.  Mrs Young helped us construct and design the puppet theatres and now they are finally finished........

This theatre was created by Leah, Sereah and Josh.  It is based on the play "The Royal Rescue".

Callum, Kennedy and Maegan built this theatre which is based on the play "Celebrity Word".

Maegan: "It felt really cool to win.  It was tough but fun at the same time."
Daina: "I'm really proud that we did win.  Sometimes we would get sidetracked but we pulled through."

Survivor Day 2: Physical Challenge

Day 2 of Survivor saw our teams undertaking the pose of a flamingo while standing on a chair and holding a basketball above their heads in one hand.  The winning team (with Kennedy as the flamingo) lasted 8 minutes!!!

Kenny: "I wanted to beat Kalym who came in 2nd place, it was a really hard challenge".

Here are Kalym and Kennedy fighting for 1st place!

Survivor!!!

Every year during Term 4 our class plays the game of 'Survivor'.  This is a game that has been invented by our teacher to challenge our team building, literacy, maths, artistic and time-management skills over four weeks.  To start the game our teams were randomly selected - then we had to work out a team name and design a cover for our Survivor Diary.

As teams we have to complete certain tasks like recording how we are coping being 'shipwrecked' on a deserted island.  We have to build a shelter, find food and prepare it and eventually work out how we are going to be rescued.

Part of each day involves us completing challenges...a physical challenge and a brain challenge.  Mrs Young writes each challenge up as a riddle.....

Then the challenge begins.  Our first physical challenge involved thowing hoops over wickets and our brain challenge had us looking for treasure hidden on a treasure map.
