Snow Day

 I went to the park with y10s on snow day. There were quite many y13s and 12s to supervise them, but still it was hard to control them who were excited by the wide snow field. We introduced two games for them to enjoy and play. The first game they played was taking a flag from the opponent's basement. There were two teams; One is trying to take the flag and bring it into its basement and another is defending the flag. If a person got hit by snow thrown by other team, then he was out. I was responsible for saying 'out' to those people. As I assumed, people who was hit just pretended not to be out and just continued to play and I was one of the referees to prevent it. Also this game needed physical contacts and could lead physical injuries, I needed to make sure the match go without any safety problems. Being a referee was harder and more challenging than I thought. First I needed to make a fair judgement otherwise it would cause a conflict between teams, so I had to pay attention all the time. Also I needed to run a lot

 After that, we came back to school and I was happy that everyone seemed to join this day which is escaping from everyday life. I liked the free and not restricted atmosphere, but it actually caused a problem. The las period was teachers vs students and when I looked at teachers being surrounded and hit by number of students, I thought something would happen and it happened. Today was too uncontrolled and some more supervisors who actually reminded them what they should keep were needed. And I think if the school can support, a range of activities we can think of will become more various.
