SLEEPOVER AT SCHOOL!!
The coolest part of the weekend was the sleepover at SCHOOL!!Can
you imagine?!Well it started when DAD dropped me to school and I went to the
classroom to put my bag and ten trudged to the auditorium. ALL the fourth
standards were there. First we were divided into SIX TEAMS. I was put in TEAM 1
and later on we had to change our name TEAM 1 to something else. We called our
team 'THE INVINCIBLES'. The other TEAMs names were SKULL CANDY, DAIS CHAMPS,
EXTREME ELEVEN, TERRIFIC TEN and THE UNTAMEABLES (actually they were the quietest
team). Well, then MR.LEANDER PAES and DR.VESE PAES came to our school and
talked about their childhood, sports and fitness. Soon after that they taught
us running techniques and also had lunch with us. after that they split us SIX
TEAMS into 3 TEAMS and said that 1 set will do tent pitching with CAWAS SIR and
the other would to rope knots with HARI SIR. We were doing rope knots HARI SIR
first. We learnt how to tie a reef knot, bowline, draw, hitch clove, hitch and
simple knot. Next we went to the auditorium to do tent pitching. We first had
to choose a captain and we chose IRA a girl in my class to be captain. The
teachers there showed us how to pitch a tent and then asked us to pitch it
ourselves. While one team was conferring with the teachers IRA told us our
plan. We divided us into three groups and each one would something different. At
last we gave are made and packed tent to the teachers. After 5 MINUTES we got
our results and we stood FIRST overall all SIX TEAMS with a remarkable score of
13:00 minutes!!Soon after that we had a snack break. Now comes the highlight of
the sleepover------THE TREASURE HUNT-----------! All SIX TEAMS were given a
paper to right clues and were told to be back in 30 minutes. We searched but no
luck :( and hopefully nobody found all ten clues :). We assembled in the auditorium
(audi) and had a music\dance everything combined. Our team chose to sing LUNGI
DANCE where three were dancing, seven were singing and 1 was playing the CONGO.
The second highlight-----------THE CAMPFIRE----------- where we played
ANTAKSHRI. We returned to our room and while the other classes slept we stayed
up till 12:00. When it was twelve all of us got out of our sleeping bags
and started doing GANGAM STYLE since our teacher had gone out. Finally I went
to sleep and it was like everybody had done what I had said.
THE NIGHT CONTINUES AND THE NEXT DAY ARRIVED
We woke up 6:30 and did yoga. Then we played cricket and finally a
brick rely race as a tie-breaker round. We had to step on a brick take the
other and continue till the finish line where another person is waiting, you
hand the bricks to them and they take off on the bricks.
Finally we got the overall results and we came third!!!! I
collected my things and sat in the dispersal line with my friends.
