Move-a-thon for Ski Camp

Move-a-thon:

Yesterday (Thursday 21 of August 2019) the Year 7 and 8's that are going to camp had a move-a-thon. If you don't know what a move-a-thon is, it is a challange where you have to be moving all day. Whaea Jess decided to make our hours from 8 am - 6 pm. 10 HOURS. Obviously not everyone can run for 10 hours straight soooo.... my teacher said to get into a group and each group will have shifts. I was in Group 1 so we were the first group up. We didn't start straight away. From 8am to 9am was everyone who was their to run. From 9am to 9:30 was our shift. There was a bit of a twist up with time and my group did 1 hour worth. What happen was, these 2 ladies came into Taumata to talk about a boy with special needs in our school and how we need to be around him. That really dragged out the time and no one could leave in that time. So since we missed Taumata we had to carry on until Whaea Jess didn't send up the next group, which like I said wasn't in a hour time. When we seen the next group come up we were cheering while we ran our last lap together for that shift. Our next shift wasn't until Lunch time which was 1pm - 1:30 pm. That wasn't as hard and it was much more better than our hour. So school finished and anyone who could stay would had to stay until 6 to finish. We weren't always going to run so we had some games of king ball and last mand standing, and we also did some fitness. Ofcourse your wondering what the prize, well we were fundraising for our camp so we had to get sponsors and if we stopped running or moving then all the money would have to go back to the families. Over all it was a fun day and I would love to have the day again.
