Village Group Activities

Hey 5T blog readers, I’m going to talk about village groups. We did lots of different kinds of stations in different classes and some of them were even in the hallway. No village group went to all of the stations. There were seventeen stations and everyone went to eleven. Everyone met in the gym so we could find everyone in our village group. I am in village number ten. After Mrs. Rand explained what we were doing we went to our first station. The grade sixes were in charge of the stations and the grade fives were in charge of making sure everyone got to their next station. Some of my favourite stations were beach ball volleyball, magic tongue sticker outer, and long rope skipping. For beach ball volleyball it was more like keep up. There were two games going on. All you had to do was hit up the ball to the other side of the mat. All the morning was fun and exciting. It is good to have village groups so you can meet people from other grades. I can’t wait to have village groups next. I wonder what we will do next?

Village Group Activities

On March 19^th we had village groups. There were activities all over the school. There were 16 different activities. One of my favourite activities was the scooter hockey. And there were some stations I didn’t get to go to. I heard people talking about human bowling pins. And that sounds like a lot of fun. There were even stations in class rooms. There were stations in Mr. Oliphant’s class and Mrs. Kohut’s class. Those are the only ones I went into. Another one of my favourites is the Parachute in the library. There was a game in the gym where there was a flag on your socks and you have to crawl on your hands and knees and people have to try to take them off. If they get all of them you have to sit on a mat at the end of the mats.  In Ms. Dodd’s room we played musical chairs with hula hoops. I was out the first time. I’m not good at those kinds of games. The one I really wanted to go to was the human bowling pins. The one I’ll say was the most difficult was the yoga station. I don’t flex very well. My favourite pose in yoga was the do nothing pose. You just lie down and well do nothing. I wonder what other stations there were.  Oh well. At the last village group we were doing candy cane ornaments. I think this is the best village group we’ve had because it was like we had a 3 period gym.
