Newspaper Relay 2 Newspaper 2 ropes Time: 10 minutes Set up: Use the ropes to designate the start/fi nish points for each relay team to stay behind. Instructions: Divide the Unit into groups of similar size and set them up relay style behind the ropes (ie: half of each team at each end). Give each team 3 full sheets of newspaper, all sets of sheets are to be at the starting end. The aim of this relay is for the team to end up at the opposite end of the hall to that which they started at. They must move between ends by standing only on sheets of newspaper. They must not purposely tear the sheets of newspaper to create more newspaper. When the whole team has swapped ends they must sit down. The fi rst team to successfully swap sides and sit in a quiet, straight line is the winner.
PLEASE NOTE - There are numerous way of completing this challenge. Some girls will place the 3 sheets as lilly pads and jump their team across. This may mean only a small amount of the team is moving at the one time, with one team member having to go back to bring the newspaper sheets to the remaining team members to move. Some girls will try to fi t as many girls on two sheets of paper as possible and will pass the third sheet along the line to create the next step. Some girls will move one at a time placing one sheet of paper under each shoe and sliding on them like skates. Please encourage your girls to work together and be creative. Patrol System 2

The Legend of Maui and the Magic Fish Hook 9 Maui was a demi-god, who lived in Hawaiiki. He possessed magic powers that not all of his family knew about. One day when he was very young, he hid in the bottom of his brothers boat in order to go out fi shing with them. Once out at sea, Maui was discovered by his brothers, but they were not able to take him back to shore as Maui made use of his magic powers, making the shoreline seem much further away than it was in reality. So the brothers continued rowing, and once they were far out into the ocean Maui dropped his magic fi shhook over the side of the waka. After a while he felt a strong tug on the line. This seemed to be too strong a tug to be any ordinary fi sh, so Maui called to his brothers for assistance. After much straining and pulling, up suddenly surfaced Te Ika a Maui (the fi sh of Maui), known today as the North Island of New Zealand. Maui told his brothers that the Gods might be angry about this, and he asked his brothers to wait while he went to make peace with the Gods. However, once Maui had gone his brothers began to argue among themselves about the possession of this new land. They took out their weapons and started pounding away at the catch. The blows on the land created the many mountains and valleys of the North Island today. The South Island is known as Te Waka a Maui (the waka of Maui). Stewart Island, which lies at the very bottom of New Zealand, is known as Te Punga a Maui (Maui s anchor), as it was the anchor holding Maui s waka as he pulled in the giant fi sh.
