Ice Skating

On Thursday 9th June the Whetu team went ice skating in the event centre hall. We put on socks then ice skates, helmets and gloves. Around the Ice was inflatable sides. I didn’t use them much, other kids did. My nana told me to go slow but I wanted to go fast. I fell down a lot. Here is some funny news. I was going to say hi my teacher Mrs Lindsay and nana Dowah when I was right in front of her I fell over. They both laughed. After Ice skating I had a big bruise on my right palm of my hand. My family came to ice skate on Saturday. Jesse and I went Ice Skating while mum and Dowah watch. Jesse and I had to put green bibs on. I think I was better at Ice skating then Thursday. Here are some tips:

• Bend your knees
• Look straight
• To turn, turn 1 foot the way you want to go
• Bring your arms out.

There wasn’t many people at Ice rink. My family got there about 3.20-3.25 and we stayed there till 5.00!

At 5.00 a lot of parents arrived. And helped with the breakdown of the rink, and packing up of all the equipment and loading onto their trailers.

My brother and I weren't really interested in packing up the ice rink. So we went to play on the playground.

I rate Ice Skating 1000/1000. I hope we go Ice skating again.
