Kia ora, bloggers,
I am back!
Have you ever learnt to skateboard? Well, we did!
We had some skateboarding lessons today and if was fantastic! We had two coaches; Laurence and Ben. They taught us some different skills to improve our skateboarding. Some of the skills they taught us included tic-tacs, turning, stopping and picking up speed.
We also played a game called What's up, Wolf? How you play this game is the wolf is on a skateboard and they start the game by saying "What's up, wolf pack?". The wolf pack then replies "What's up, wolf?". Then, the game begins. The wolf will skate towards the line at the other end of the court. The wolf pack have to follow behind, getting ready to stop when needed and trying not to overtake the wolf. If they do overtake the wolf, they have to go back 8 pushes on the skateboard.
Occasionally, the wolf will turn around, and everyone has to stop. If they don't stop and the wolf catches them, then they have to go back 4 pushes on the skateboard. After a few stops and goes, the wolf will shout out "Dinner time!" Between the wolf pack, it's a race to the line. Whoever gets over the line on their skateboard becomes the next wolf.
I loved the What's Up, Wolf game! It was so fun! I also loved learning new skills like tic-tacs. I am now pretty confident with a skateboard and I think that's great!
I'm really excited for the next session. Here are some photos:
