Fantastic Skateboarding Practice
Have you ever skateboarded before? We had the priviledge of being taught how to skateboard by Ben and Lawrence ( Our instructors for skateboarding ). They showed us to put on our helmets and turn the skateboard around. We did a couple of laps around the court and we got isolated into groups. They taught us how to do a tik tack and how to it is to turn the skateboard. A tik tack is when you lift up the tail and turn the skateboard. We played what's the time mr wolf but on skateboards, it was really fun. We got free time at the end and some of us went on the big ramp.
I felt challenged was when I was turning, sometimes I would fall and some people let their skateboards roll across the court and it bumped into me. I liked that the instructors took us step by step just in case someone didn't know what to do. I have learned how to stop the skateboard and how to turn properly. I gained more confidence during the lesson and gained more growth mindset and saying in my head "I can do it".
I felt so amazing when I could actually go down the big ramp that I was pretty scared off. I kept on doing it and I was teaching my friend and she got better and better. She kept on trying but she was so close. I had so much fun speeding past people and feeling the fresh breez blowing in my face. It was time to pack it up and the instructures stacked the skateboards in a cool way and it was morning tea. I had a great time and I think eveyrone had fun too.
Blog you later!
Kia ora there, my name is Dustine and I am a Year 4 in Te Ana Ako at Waikowhai School. I really like how you still went down the ramp even though you were scared. It made me think about when I kept on falling when off when I tried to do a ramp. Have you thought about spelling the words the same? If you would like to see my learning, my class blog is http://wpsteanaako.blogspot.co.nz.
