Skateboarding Lessons

Hola Bloggers! 

Today we didn't do any boring maths instead we did skateboarding! 
We had a session on skateboarding. The first thing we did was find a skateboard and a helmet and put it on. We had to fall forward and the first leg that stopped you from falling would be the front leg. If you used your right leg you were a natural, if you used your left you are a goofy. Then we got to ride around and after we got split into two groups. We did different excersices like lunging on the skateboard and balancing on one foot.

What was great about the lesson and what was challenging?

The lesson was great but there were somethings that I found challenging. When we had to balance on one foot my left foot wasn't as easy as my right foot. Also when we were playing what's the time Mr Wolf I had a little trouble with stopping fast but I got the hang of it. Before we started playing the game we were learning how to tic tac and to do a crab walk. The crab walk was very hard to do and I fell off once but I think I am better now.

What we have learnt?

I learnt so many new things. Some things that I learnt today was to balance on my skateboard with my eyes closed, it took me a while but I got it. Also I learnt how to stand on a skateboard properly and how to use the tail and nose on the skateboard. A nose on a skateboard is the front of the board and the tail is the back. We also learnt lots of new tricks on the skateboard.

What have we gained from learning to skateboard?

I really enjoyed skateboarding and now I have another fun thing to do. I have gained a fun way to exercise and a new cool sport. Also I am more confident and have a growth mindset on skateboarding. I have gained new skills and have much more enthusiasm for skateboarding. 

I really enjoyed skateboarding and I can't wait to have more sessions!

Production

Four Nights of Acting!

Talofa Lava Bloggers. 

Today I will be blogging about our schools production. Every two year our school hosts our very own production at Waikowhai Intermediate. This years production was based on the Disney film Aladdin and Ms McGrath wrote a new script and it was called Jasmine and Aladdin. We have been practicing for thirteen weeks, through lockdown on a google meet and after schools. Sometimes the rehearsals got very boring and tiring after a long day and then having Ms McGrath yell at us about things we already know didn't help. Although of all of that I loved the nights and I think that all the practices very worth it.

Last week on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we had our shows and on Wednesday and Thursday we had our night shows. We had to get there at 6pm to get changed into our costumes and then some people had to get makeup. The main characters had to have heaps of makeup. The night was crowded and sitting down for a while was boring but I loved the class dances. Here is a little break down of the show.

The show is about an evil Magician who tries to take over the kingdom of Hasbah and a Strong and Stubborn Princess who meets a kind and brave person in the market place named Aladdin who was willing to help her and help her achieve her dream to travel. There is also a Genie of the lamp who helps them along the way. While Omar the Magician tries taking over he sets a spell on the Sultan to marry him to the Princess. Aladdin is put in the dungeon for helping Jasmine the princess but then he breaks out and they defeat Omar and then lock him away. In the end the Princess is with her friends and she gets to travel with Aladdin, Genie and Persia Aladdin cat. They all lived happily ever after.

The production was fun, at times boring but over all it was an amazing experience.
