Snow Planet

 Swoosh I was going at speed of 60mph it was very fast it was like I was going at the sound speed I was very nervous as it was my very first time seeing snow, as I was going down snow came onto my face cause I  was going down hill, it was very frustrating cause I could not control my  sled I kept crashing into the walls Bomb Ka-pow, as the ride was coming into an end I took a deep breath and carried my sled all the way to the top of the snow track there really nothing to do other than tubing we thought we were actually going to do snowboarding and skiing, there was an room where you could relax and just take a break as I was taking a break there was an cage below it felt like I was in a medieval house as I took my last ride down the hill/slope I was racing a class mate and both came to an tie we were both called as the snow planet trip was done, I was really disappointed as we thought we were really going to do snowboarding and skiing unfortunately we didn’t on the way back to school we played a game called Rap slap it was fun on the way back to school as we were just laughing and what not.

Gymnastics

This week we had kiwi sport for kiwi sport we were learning different ways to stretch our body these ways would benefit our body when done. The positions were: Tuck-Sit, L-sit, Straddle, Happy cat, Angry cat, motor-bike-landing. These positions would benefit you in many ways and stretch different parts of your body you could also learn other ways also, we also learnt the handstand as some of us students are still young and flexible it was quite easy for the athletic people, i'm an athletic person but couldn't do it but I caught on a little while later.

Mud Run Tough Guy & Gal

 This week we went on a trip to the mud run program in Helensville  Tennis Club, Once we got there I was amazed how it was nearly surrounded by trees and plants and just GREEN!, it was pretty remote as there wasn't that many houses just the ones that were being built I got out to find that there a heap of kids I was very exited as it was my first time, we quickly rushed out of the van to get a nice view of the place and it was amazing, We went towards the crowd and where it was gonna start we were exercising and warming up for the event...Once the event started we were all moved to the starting line 50 kids were allowed to go at a time.

Once we were waiting for our countdown 3 2 1! poof we run as fast as we can just like we were adrenaline junkies our first obstacle was a deep puddle of mud I quickly jumped on the mud cause I didn't really care about coming first I just wanted to have fun, We ran and ran we went up mountains on the way I met new people and some friends. I was running as hard as I could I ran with my friends and tried to out run people who were ahead of me.

I threw mud at kids all fun and games we made it to the end with a smile on our faces.
