Month: September 2020

It is nearly the end of term 3! Term 3 has been the only full term of school this year, because of corona-virus. During term 3 I have started Basketball, we have not lost any games and are yet to play the finals this Wednesday. I have really enjoyed playing basketball and in the photos I am player 3. We have also had Youth Town (YT.) At Youth Town we are taught to play lots of different games I have never played before, like Tchuckball, you use nets and a ball, the aim of the game is to through the ball at the net and if no one catches it you get 2 points. If someone does catch it you don’t get any points and if someone catches it but accidently drops it then you get 1 point. Also we have a new playground which has just started today. Over-all I have enjoyed this term and am excited to come back to a  new playground and new fun activities.

As you know from past posts I love playing hockey, so you guessed it my hero is a hockey player. 25 year old Brooke Roberts plays for the Black Sticks Hockey Team and is the goal keeper. Brooke Roberts grew up in Whangarei and she currently lives at Auckland north shore. Brooke started playing hockey at the age of 5 and she said that her family have been there for her 100% of the time and they are super supportive. Her number one tip for young players is to respect your opponent. Brooke’s favorite food is ginger slice and she enjoys playing with her pet dog Andre. Brooke is player number #10 and her team has also won the 2018 NHL (National Hockey League.)

This week we had the year 7/8 trip, we did ice skating and curling. Every year we have the year 7/8 ski camp, but this year we had to change it because the snow was terrible. Instead we went to the Dunedin ice skating and curling place. I was a bit worried about doing this because I hadn’t been ice skating for so many years and I had NEVER been curling. I really enjoyed the curling and I found it super fun because it was a new experience. I also enjoyed the ice skating but not as much as the curling, this was because I couldn’t skate very well and I was pretty scared that I would fall over. Under neath is a photo of the ice skating and curling.
