Kiwi Sport - Miss Morris

Today Auckland sports did not come so Miss Morris volunteered to coach us. For a warm up we passed the ball down a line but nothing is fun without a bit of competition so we were separated into two teams then it was a race. After that we went on the court and played ball tag. Thank you Miss Morris for the great session.

Sailing

On Wednesday me and 22 other students got the opportunity to learn how to sail. The instructor was an Argentinian women named Maria. Firstly we had to assemble the boat. It is definitely easier to be said than done. Next we learnt how the parts work. Before we went in the water we paired up and I chose Tiava. I was usually in charge of the sail and she was in charge of the rudder. I enjoyed playing the games and jumping from one boat to another but my favourite part was sailing solo. I was going faster by myself and I was more organised. The hardest part was actually putting on the wet suit. It was actually really difficult but we had fun. We had a lot of fun but the most important thing about going sailing is wearing a life jacket because It could save your life. Thank you to Mr Ogilvie who organised it, the instructors that helped out and Mr Johnston and Ms Kirkpatrick that supervised us while we were down at Okahu bay. Also thank you to Mrs Colenbrander for being our nurse.

Skating

Today students in LS2 were given an amazing opportunity to have a go at roller skating which was taken by Puna from Skate land. She has taught us how to stop and how to get up safely. It is very important to get up as quick as you can because you can scare people out or hurt you or others. After all the collisions and falling over the instructor held races. The winner of all races then faced off. Zane was the top skater followed closely by Chavda. Thank you to Mr Ogilvie for organising this.

First Session of Softball

Today was our first session of Softball. Our Softball coach (Alison) was very funny. She made catching fun, and she taught us without too much instructions or made it feel like we were in a class. For our first session we were looking at catching and throwing. It was pretty easy. When you throw in Softball you have to have 'L' shaped arms. When you are catching you make a butterfly out of your hands. Me and my partner San Kyaw found it relatively easy.
