We learnt how to have tennis ball races on the faces of the tennis raquet. We hit the ball over the net so our friend could catch it in the cone. It was a lot of fun seeing how many bounces we could get up to before we had to chase the ball.

Skiing on Mt Hutt
We started off the day with a ski lesson. It was a beautiful sunny day.
Kelly was taking lots of photos. It was such a warm perfect day that Anastasia was able to take her jacket off. It was awesome that her Nana was able to go on our trip.
Byron thought it very new to stop on a snowboard. He couldn't put his feet in the snowboard properly because he hadn't tried it before. Byron enjoyed seeing two kea, one was on top of the bus and one was on the ground near the play area.
Cohan, Dion, Miss Ovens, Jamie and Aleisha were learning how to do 'the pizza' stop. It stops you from going too fast.
It was such a beautiful day looking down from the top of the magic carpet. We noticed that Jacinta from Room 6 got very good at going down this on her own.
Cohan's dad gave lots of helpful advice during the day. He is a pretty amazing skier.
James is very happy because he didn't run Mrs C over. He was able to steer and stop all by himself.
When I was sliding down the snow got deeper near the end. The snow was soft because noone had been on it yet. I slid down about five times. Jayden
Lucy, Ruby, James and I were trying to race, but I started to slide down so I got to the end first. I liked knowing how to stop and turn so I didn't crash into anyone. -Jayden.
Kelly is still taking photos. She even managed to get in some skiing time. Our day was a whole lot of fun because she had organised it so well.
Brooke and Mia were learning to stop. This is quite important on a tall slippery mountain. Brooke and Mia were suprised at how hot it was.
Mia was very brave. She challenged herself to ski high on the mountain and did a great job.
We all really enjoyed our day. It was such perfect weather. The snow was soft and dry and everyone was friendly and helpful. Mrs C noticed a few people eating the snow.
