The year 7 and 8's went on a ski trip where we experienced how to stop and how to keep balanced while skiing.It was my first time skiing so I had no experience and then I started to get better the more I practiced.We had to do this test which was about turning around cones and at the start of the test I didn't get it so I did it again but by that time the instructor had left they said that we couldn't go up the medium hill Me and my friend Harry asked one of the instructors if they could watch us do the test again but they refused because it was kind of near the end of they day and they don't do anymore tests at the end of the day.So our principal took us to this place to ask if we can go up the medium hill and they said that they will get an instructor in five minutes.Later on the instructor took us up and we learnt how to ski down it.Then we had a couple more goes before we left.I enjoyed it and I am glad that I know how to ski.       

Winter weekend

On the 23 of May 2019
We went to the kiwi creche.When we were at the area where kiwi creche is we were sorted into groups and then we walked over into the kiwi creche where later we were told a little bit about the traps and were they were placed for the stoats,rats and weasels because they are the main threats to kiwis.How they would locate the kiwis is they would have an areal and find a sound and then when there is a sound that would be where the kiwi would be.Then each group would go do an activity and then we would swap to the next one.Our first activity we were told a lot about the traps and what they would use for bait to catch the predators by Paul.Each group has 20 mins each session and then we swap.Our next activity involved us looking at the kiwi but to do that we had to walk to it we also need to be quiet when we get there otherwise the kiwi will get startled.At the end we planted a plant but I'm not sure what it was.

Learning about coordinates and maps

These past few days we have been learning to use maps and we have been doing coordinates and directions.We have been writing on worksheets that helped us write our own.Then we got a sheet that we had to draw directions through and around the school.Then when we were done our map our teacher took our map and then picked the best one to use for a treasure hunt.After she picked the map we all had to use it to find the treasure.We used the directions on the map to find it.My favourite activity was the treasure hunt.
