Waikowhai Int Visit!

Malo e lelei bloggers!

Today, the Yr 6's went down to Waikowhai Int to meet our teachers for next year! My teacher for 2021 is Ms Rodan, in Rm 14. The other students from my school in my class was Peitynn and Maddison. 

This is how it worked: Different schools sat in the rows of seats in the hall. Parents came along too. Mr King, the principal, spoke to us and then the teachers came in. Each teacher said a list of names, the students they would have. The people called out stood up and then went to line up outside. Once we were in our class, we learnt about the different clubs and sports there were in the school. There were LOADS of sports. We also learnt about the Yr 7 Camp and the classes we take in each block. It was so fun at Waikowhai Int. 

I am looking forward to 2021 and I'm excited for all the activities we'll be doing.

Thanks for reading my blog post, have a lovely weekend and don't forget to smile!                Blog ya later😉😎😁

T4 Skateboarding 2020

 Morena bloggers!

This morning, Hauraki had their first skateboarding lesson. We had 2 coaches: Ben and Lawrence. It was super fun.

First, we did some learning about how to position yourself when on the skateboard. After that, we had to ride from one end of the court to the other. That was enjoyable. Then, we finally started learning some skateboard tricks...

We had to split up into 2 groups. I was put in Lawrence's group. We did some basic tricks such as: Tic Tacs, Crab walk, jumping onto the skateboard, there were so many tricks we learnt! One of my favourites was the tricks on the grass. You put the skateboard upside down then put both of your feet under it. Then you jump, flipping the skateboard and landing on it. It was very cool. I also liked the other one where you put the skateboard on its side. You stand infront of the skateboard facing backwards, then you jump, again, flipping the skateboard and you land on it. This is called the Back Willy flip. Its quite easy when you practice often. During the lesson, we also did a game called Whats up wolf pack? Its basically the same as Green light, Red light but with skateboards. I really enjoyed playing that game.

Today was fun and I can't wait for the next lesson. Thank you for reading me blogpost, i hope you enjoyed and learned a few tricks too. Have a lovely weekend, blog ya later!
