..:*+⸖𐰬༼|:|~ SURFING ~|:|༽𐰬⸖+*:..

Not only we went surfing.. we did so much other things too! LIKE A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP! so we went surfing out at Ahipara down the street were that little old park is and there is a mini track and... a big river you have to cross to get to the beach.. literally there was no other way for us. in the river you couldn't see anything.. kind of like coca cola lake, the river\lake was up to our thighs so it was OK! anyways we went and put our wet suits on and the surfing instructors Kim, Mack and jack split us into groups, they told us to move to the side and all of the girls went to one side and about 3 boys we're in there with the girls. and all the rest of the boys went in one group. we crossed the river and the group with 3 boys and all of the girls.. the group I was in went first we got taught how to use the surf board and the do's and don'ts. The instructors kept on making us laugh with all the hilarious jokes! the group I was in got split into groups to surf with. Now I was TERRIFIED OF THE MASSIVE WAVES, I was able to go to Mataibay and dive under HUGE WAVES but that was Mataibay THIS IS AHIPARA/NINTEY MILE BEACH!  but the instructors helped me.. I was still scared though.. I did catch a few waves... but its hard to swim with your back constantly bending down with a heavy board that can knock you out. but the surf instructors helped, and no one got hurt when it was time for us to rotate and us to go back while the boys go do there lesson, we got to have lunch and relax in the river! (or lake). I have never liked evil sea creatures like eels  and crabs and since this river/lake was not clear and like coca cola lake you had to take a risk. one of the boys in our group came out of the lake with a massive cut.. everyone thought it was a stingray and stingrays are very dangerous.. the're sharp tails stab you and then you have to get the tail out of you leg or wherever they stab you, glorious but DEADLY. but the cut on his foot was not from a stingray.. I bet it was from shard coral.. because I think I've steeped on those sharp coral before.. and IT WAS CORAL! we PICKED IT UP  and it was! ''false alarm guys!"  so we went in the water and it was like one of the best days of my life! since it was up to our thighs you couldn't really doggy pattle without your hand touching the ground.. we played tiggy and I kept on running then jumping on the water one stop to get away, then you know when you glide? and your legs go straight? well it made it even funner because I'd dive then quickly crouch my legs in! then it was time to leave.. we all but our gear together and crossed the river. We went and said "THANK YOU!" and went to the bus.. but we stopped at a dairy and one of the people in our group, there parents were to kind to let us all have ice cream! and it was so much like a happy ending EVEN THE BUS DRIVER GOT SOME ICE CREAM! it was truly a happy ending! but it was to good to be true... I got sunburn everywhere 

KNOT'S

We have been learning a lot about safety and survival, because we are going to camp soon!! And one of the things we have been going is knots! Sorry the link in it doesn't work.. so I had to write it here

We learned a lot about knot's and we are even reading a book called "Cuz" and it's about these two cousins that got lost and they are finding their way back. I loved doing this poster because I like making things colorful and decorated, and I like the idea of little snippets of information. 

GOOGLE DOCS NINJA!

• Today we did the...''google docs ninja challenge'' and it was really fun! I love how we could try out a whole lot of cool new things on google docs that we never knew about! We all helped each other on those really hard bits! We got this idea from Matawai school because they have blogs and they posted about it too! The belts are...
• White belt
• Green belt
• Red belt
• Black belt

I enjoyed it a lot because we're doing hyper links coloring words with fonts and using bullet points and  keys we never knew we could do!

..:+*|:|ATHLETICS|:|*+:..

On Wednesday (on Halloween)  We did athletics.. and I'm not an athlete..but I still enjoyed it, one thing I was really proud of was high jump! That was real fun! I never knew that I could last in high jump.  Long jump was pretty good too, but I am terrible at sprints 😂. We got given a choice between doing the 200 hundred meter run or not, I was going to not do it but... I decided to give it a go.   The things we did in athletics were.. shot put, sprints, high jump, long jump, and the 200 meter run, also the relays (which i didn't do). We were all quiet tired after. Anyways athletics was fun and enjoyable.                        

Do you do athletics? and what do you like about athletics??
