FUN RUN

Alle Polard-Smith —

Mix of colour, mud, water & laughter

On Friday 21st May the school became an amazing mix of colour, mud, water, and laughter as everyone took part in our FUN MUD RUN! The students took on the challenges of foam pits, a mud pit, tyre runs, cargo nets, a slip n slip, balance beams, slides, and so much more, all while having fun and getting bombarded with colour! It was a hugely successful day and enjoyed by everyone; we have had some fantastic feedback on the event. Thank you to all families and whānau that came down to support the event, and even had a go on the course themselves. It was awesome to see so many of you having fun with your children while tackling the obstacles.

See what some of our students had to say:

"So right now it's around 4:00PM on the Saturday after the Fun Run and let me just tell you I think we ALL had fun! It was a huge hit so I would totally suggest organising another one next year! Everybody in Rm 4 had a great time being bombarded with colour and sprayed with too much water but also helping out with the various activities was exciting as well." (Racquel, Yr 8)
"The FUN RUN was very fun. There were lots of people that loved it. My favourite part was the mud pit because everyone could do it. It was for everyone, small and big!" (Clay, Yr 8)
"My FUN RUN experience was great because of how much colour and mud that got on me. The FUN RUN was enjoyable as well because of the water and slip n slide. I want to do it again next year." (Xavier, Yr 4)
"I think my favourite part would be the mud part. I wish it could have gone for longer! It was nice that they put the music over the speaker system. The colour looked good, too." (Alex, Yr 7)
