Fitness

 Every day in the morning my class does Fitness. We do fitness to get confidence and strength. Today for fitness we did running, teamwork and Tyre war.The first thing we did was you had to get into teams of five then the person in the front of your line runs until they get to the cone then comes back to the back of the team and puts their hands on their head then the next person goes. For the second game It was the same but when you get to the cone you have to do 20 star jumps. The third game was a tyre war. We split the class up into two then Talei came and numbers us. I was 12. Talei calls out a number e.g. 26 then the people who were 26 would run and whoever gets the tyre to their side first they win.

Zumba!

 Every morning we do Zumba. Zumba is a fitness program that combines Latin and international music with dance moves. My favourite zumba dance is Cupid Shuffle

.  Cupid Shuffle You move four steps to the right then four steps to the left, then kick and skip at the same time then shuffle to you left then repeat the process. Zumba is really fun. There are so many types of zumba dances. The ones I do are Minion Zumba, I like to move it Zumba, and Cupid Shuffle.

First Day Of School

 The first day of school in Tangaroa was different. It was confusing at first. We had to keep our lunch boxes in our bags. In my old class (Tane Mahuta) we put our lunch boxes on the shelf. We went outside and welcomed new students. I was so excited to see my friends. 

After coming back from the Mihi whakatau we found out who our kaiawhina was. Mine was Sharon. We sat in our kaiawhina groups and I had no friends. But I met some new friends to sit with. Their names were Tara, and Breanna. Literacy is fun but Maths is not my favourite but it never has been. Art is my favourite, and I love drawing. 

We get school lunches at school now and today I got a muffin, apple, potato salad and sandwich (thinly sliced thin beef, lettuce.) I didn’t really like the sandwich. Minttu and I got our hats and went to the library and read a book together. The rest of the day was boring.

 Minttu and I went home together.

Surfing!

 

Wednesday February 17 was surfing day. It was a calm day the waves were foamy and blue green. All I could see was powerful waves rushing through and crashing in other waves. I could taste salt in the air as the water sparkled. Me Jessica and Minttu went into the changing room and changed into our wetsuits. I brung my own wetsuit. They borrowed the school wetsuits. We went down to the beach with our surf boards and placed them on the ground. Mr.Redmond showed us what to do. We walked through the warm sand and went to waste deep. I tried to find a big wave. On the first go I went on my knees on the board. My fourth turn I stood up. The whistle rang two times which means time to get out. I caught my last wave back. We carried the surf boards to the trailer and got changed. 

surfers are usually cool, so be cool and spread coolness, that's cool, it sounds cool, and it looks pretty cool.
