Suri's Firework Painting

Guess what our hapu did? On monday we got to play cricket in the multispace. We got to learn some skills. My favourite skill was bowling, oh i almost forgot our coaches name was Josie. Bowling was even the first skill we learned. Their were three types of bowling under arm, over arm and the um… let's just say around bowling cause you swing your arm around. We played snowflake tag. So basically one person has a ball. I got to be the first tager coach Josie said “how we play snowflake tag, so one person is the tager’’ thats me “and tag people with the ball then they get a ball and they are a tager too’’ last man standing wins. After we learned over arm, under arm and around bowling. We did under arm first, we had to go in partners i was with Riley-C. We did pretty good with all. When we learned around bowling i said to Riley “this is how you do it so you need to hold the ball with two hands next to your chest, put your foot out, put the ball in your throwing hand and you are gonna put your arm with the ball straight pointing at the back, and you other arm pointing forwards then swing the back arm around and the front arm going around with it and release that is how you do it’’ I had so much fun playing cricket. I hope we do it next year.

the blindfold game

Guess what happened? Our hapu went to the library. We played the blindfold game. My experience was so weird. Once i was moving i suddenly forgot everything that happened. We had to go in partners i was with Sanjana. On the next day we got to go to the playground to do blindfolds i kept on bumping and crashing. I was so scared to bump into stuff. Sanjana made me go up the log stairs but i touched something really weird when i gpt to the top step. On the bottom step i slipped. I thought she was taking me back to the start but nope. I had so much fun it was pitch black witch made it harder and i like it that was. That was a bit of my experience being blind folded. I was so happy.
