Te Oro Reflection

IALT: Write about my Te Oro experience.

Here in this DLO I have written about my Te Oro experience. It was amazing that I got to perform in front of my own school peers but as you know, everything doesn't always go according to plan.

KiwiSport Reflection

WALT: Write about our last KiwiSport session for this term.

Today we had our last KiwiSport session, the sport we did was Skateboarding. During this last session I both amazed and shocked, not only was this the last session for this term but most of the people in our class had a competition on who could complete the course in the fastest time, it turned out that only 10-14 people contributed but in the time most of them completed it in under 1 minute to me is a very good try. 

The fastest time in our class was Matthew, who completed the course in the 30 seconds, and his cousin Sifa coming in 2nd place with 31 seconds. I myself, didn't want to try because I'm good at doing things under pressure, but it was amazing to see how many people wanted to try and beat Matthew's time. 

At first I thought Matthew wouldn't get beaten, it was his time to reign until one of the instructors decided to give it a ago, he was ultra fast and beat Matthew's time by 2 seconds. I looked at Matthew's face and I knew that he didn't like being beaten so he wanted to have another go, I was getting a little bit annoyed with his trying, so I just wanted to go for a little rounds.   

When I was skating I felt, like I was racing the wind, I felt like I was running on water, but no I was just riding a Skateboard. For me I think that it's a shame we couldn't have another 3 more sessions of Skateboarding. But at the same time it is the last week of school.

I'm going to miss Skateboarding and the instructors but in their time here I've learnt that I can keep trying and achieve. 
Something that I have enjoyed during the time I have contributed in with Martin and Luke, was being able to learn and now able to master skateboarding. A challenge I found was my first time trying, I didn't achieve it but in the end I never gave up.
