Bike skills

 Kia ora bloggers

Yesterday my class went to bike skills. The coaches names are Rachelle and Holly. They learnt about safety with riding bikes on the road. They learnt how to check the brakes, play the box game and much more. I think that this is a good way to learn about bike skills and how to ride a bike because it is a new way to travel and it is less pollution. Also I think that it is a good way to gain some independence. Some of the games that the class played were red light green light, Bean bag relays, box game, head shoulders knees and toes and probably more fun games. Something that my class found challenging was riding on the field/grass. Another thing that my class learnt was signals. Like the main thing in skateboarding (I think that it is harder in skateboarding) is balance. The only bad thing was that I wasn't there. Aloha Bloggers see you next time!

Skateboarding

 Talofa Lava blogger

Whizz I watched as somebody zoomed past me! 

Today we have been doing skateboarding. This is not my first time I have tried it before at school. We got all our gear which was a skateboard and a helmet. I learnt so many more things that I did not know before like the crab walk and 180 degree flip and that the front is called the nose and the back is called the tail. I think that the crab walk is easy on the grass but challenging on the concrete. All you do is put pressure on the tail and then while on the tail do the same for the nose. After that you "walk" like that in a zig zag. You need to be positive and confident when you are trying new things like skateboarding. I also think that focus is another key to skateboarding. We had two coaches, their names were Ben and Lawrence. I think that the main thing in skateboarding is balance. I have some balance but I am not great. But it is great exercise. Overall I think it was quite fun and enjoyable and I got to do it with some of my friends. Blog ya later

Production 2020 Jasmine and Aladdin


 Kia ora bloggers

Hi bloggers do you rember my other blog post about production rehearsals? Well since then have done all our three productions (the actual show!!). Anyway it was the best experience and it felt so AWESOME. It was held in the Waikowhai Intermediate hall. I loved it. The show was awesome I loved watching my friends doing their parts. The show was called Jasmine and  Aladdin. There were three shows. Two in the night (on Wednesday and Thursday) and one in the day (Friday). I felt really nervous when I did all of the shows because I was in five scenes and I was one of the palace guards out of eight (We all had to get moustaches). There were 9 dances including the finale. The songs were Walk like a camel, Cha Cha Slide, Shopping, Cups, Roar, Magic Carpet Ride, Wipe out and the last and finale was R.E.S.P.E.C.T. My favourite part was when I got to be on stage and I had to get up and down and up and down and you know what I mean. Above all I loved it. Here are some photos and a video. Blog ya later.
