On the last day of last term all of Paihia got to participate in a “P(hysical)A(ctivity)L(eader) dayP(hysical)A(ctivity)L(eader)” as a fun thing to do for the last day. A PAL day is a sports day that is ran and organised completely by the tuakana of our school. Some students A Pal day is a sports event that is run and organized completely by the tuakana of our school.
Some students in Te Ngahere were hosting all kinds of games to play like darts(the BIG version), obstacles and soccer. Being a PAL I got to host a game along with my friend Breeze and we choose to do Dodgeball.
The part I enjoyed the most was getting to see all the different types of games that groups were hosting(my favourite was the bike/scooter race.) The hardest challenge I experienced was trying not to get frustrated when the people in our rotation weren’t paying attention while we spoke. To overcome this my buddy and I persevered and tried ignoring the kids that didn’t want to listen.
Something I would do next time is to make sure we have everything prepared beforehand so we weren’t just winging it.
Does your school do sports days like our PAL days?
