Winter Sport's Day



So on the 13th of March our Winter Sports Activity day was held. It was awesome :) Thibaut, Kirill and I were one of the groups who had to do their activity outside of the school, and even though we expected an extremly cold weather for the whole day it was sunny and nice :) So now it is obvious that our work had to be done collaboratively together. This is only one of the many outcomes done that day, because it was a really fast going day with a bounch of things to be done!
So our group agreed on a Touch-Rugby game in the meter high snow which was scary for the first time but after some of us from Year 12 tried it out we figured its fun as hell :) I mean tackling each other in the snow, running with knees up high with no other aim but to reach a goal line made our days. I didn't even know the rules before so I also increased my awareness of my own strength and areas for growth while playing a new sport and undertook some new challenges when I was playing!
So we planned our activity and set it up behind the volleyball and football course, put some poles down for endzones and sprayed the snow with lines so its obvious where the course was.
I also  developed new skills when I was being a referee and figured that it wasn't really about the rules but the fact that its supposed to be fun..so we changed the rules sometimes to avoid chaos but allow lower grade students to enjoy the game in the snow.

There were many other activities such as building different kind of animals or characters out of snow and paint them, an obsticle course was set up (and I honestly think that was the BEST activity since you could revenge all your anger when a teacher was running the course since it was allowed to throw snowballs (snowblocks :D:D) at them to make it harder to succeed :P), also there were inside activities which I didn't really get to see but I'm sure they were fun as well :)
I also uploaded some pictures and when I lokk at them I realize what a perfect day was picked to do all this. The snow hasn't been so good to build anything for a really long time and I still don't get how our teacher's picked such a good day to do all this :)
Thank God weather is getting warmer day by day in Moscow too so everyone in general is in a better mood too :)
Hope you like the pics!
