Trip to town

 On monday 29 of march, most of Rawhiti school went on a trip to town on the buses. When we got there, we got instrutions from the teachers and then we had to do activities on a sheet that we got given at school. The activities were like 'what is this about and can you design your own?' so we had to go find the thing that was with that question somewhere in the victoria square and we had heaps of those questions and answers we had to complete. I only had 4 more questions to finish out of ten. Then the year 7's came back from margret mahy playground and we had lunch after lunch, we got together and walked to the town hall wich was right next to the victoria square so it didnt take long at all. We got to the town hall and the people that needed to go to the toilet got to go inside first once we went to the toilet we went inside the room that the show was going to be held. The play was called Tumahana. It was about how papatuanuku and Takaroa had kids and they were the maori gods and how they pushed their parents appart so that there was a skye and a ground so some childeren of thiers got mad at the others and they were fighting. The people in the play were all on the silks and ropes and more circus stuff. I really enjoyed it because they had good skils.

surfing at sumner

On tuesday 23.03.21, a group of kids from tangaroa went to sumner to get a surf lesson for beginners and just to surf for most of the day. We got to sumner about 9:20 am and got straight into our wetsuits and then we had a little bit of a lesson, then we went in the water. The water was so nice and so was the surf. I caught some really good waves and me and isla got out after like 2 hours or an hour and a half then we went down to the changing rooms near the surf club where the showers were and we didnt know that every one was looking for us because they didnt know that we went to the changing rooms near the surf club and we had the keys to my mums car because she took me and my friends to sumner anyways me and isla were getting changed and having showers in our wetsuits, then we were ready and we went and got hot chips. I got hot chips to share with my mum and a really yum ice cream. 

Gymnastics 9/03/21

Today we did gymnastics from 11:30 till 12:30. First we got into groups of 10 or 11 then each group went to a different station of gym equipment. The group i was in did the long trampoline. We did a few different jumps on the trampoline in turns, then after five minutes, we changed staions. The next one we did was the really bouncy trampoline next to the foam pit. We had to do different tricks on the tramp like spinning, pike jump, split jump, tuck jump, and just noral jumping. Then once we did trick we would spin or jump into the foam pit. The next station was floor. We each got a turn at doing the floor activities like handstands and cart wheels. The next staion was bars. We had to hold a tuck on the bars for 3 seconds or more, then we had to put our feet in this elastic thing then swing and our feet would be held by the elastic. Then we would try and do a pull up on another bar, and lastly, we had to put our hands in these rings and swing our bodies to be upside down. Next, we went to the beams and we had to walk along the beam then jump of at the end, next we had to walk side ways either side along the beam and lastly, we crawled along the beam.

I had a really fun time at gymnatsics and i cant wait to do the more advanced skills.

For fitness, we have been doing tyre relays. Today, we did another tyre relay and we had to run to the furthest cone, then put the left foot in then out of the tyre, then put the right foot in then out of the tyre, then jump in the tyre with two feet and run to the middle cone with the tyre around your waist and so on. Zumba is really fun and I enjoy learning new dances.
