Wero Whitewater Park

On Friday my whole class and I went to the Wero Whitewater Park in Manukau. I was excited to go but nervous at the same time.

When we arrived there the Receptionist took us into a room to watch two films of Wero Whitewater Park. One about why they made the wate
r park and the last about safety. Then we put the wet suits and shoes on. Everyone was struggling to put them on. When we finished putting them on we put life jackets on and a helmets.

We met our instructors Ethan, Chris and Jaja. We had to get into three groups. First we had to get use to the water and the strong currents before going on the boats. We went on the boats and we could stand up so we did. My favourite bit of the trip was jumping in to the strong currents and swimming.

After all it was a really fun day and I hope we could go next year.

Wood Works

Today I went to tech and I did Wood work.

First we had to draw eight designs of what you wanted to do with at least one or two joints in it. I drew my eight designs and then I picked the design I wanted to do. I picked a phone holder.

It was fun at tech today. Next week I will get started and finish it.

Super Rugby

Last week some terms had one last chance to get into the playoffs. First it started off between the Bulls and the Highlanders coming in as a draw, 24-24.

Then it was the Blues and the Reds. The Blues lost by one point, 29-28. After that it was the Crusaders and the Reds. Crusaders taking out the Reds with a thrilling score to 66-0.

There's a lot more teams but who do you think will make the top eight?

Rippa Rugby

Yesterday was our last day to do Rippa Rugby with Coach Cory. First we had to get into partners to play cat and mouse. I was partners with Winne. I was the cat and she was the mouse, when Coach Cory called mouse I ran after Winne and took a tag off her. Then she took all of my tags.

Next we played a game we didn't even know how to play called over the river.
We got into two groups and we had a ball for each team. When you kicked or threw the ball over to their island then the person thats near it is out. When everyone was out it was just Alamoni and I. Alamoni had a ball and I did. The last person that kicked it over won, and I won by dogging his. My team was proud of me and I was proud of me too.

It was exciting and a fun time.
