Biking

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, bloggers. Welcome to another blog post. Today I would like to share with you when I did biking on Tuesday. On Tuesday we did biking but it was raining so we had to wear raincoats. First we got introduced to 2 coaches : John and I didn't remember the other coach's name. They were going to teach us how to bike. But first we had to put a helmet because safety first. We used the 4 S' to help us : it was straps, shell, styrofoam, and sticker. After that we split into 2 groups depending on if we were confident. I haven't rode a bike in a long time but I went into the confident group  cause I'm a man. When John picked my bike which was a smaller bike I still felt like it was way too big. Anyways then we learnt about ABCDQ which a way to make sure your bike is safe to use.

A means air to make sure it's pumped, B means brakes to make sure they work. C is for chain to make sure none are rusty, D is to drop and listen for rattles. And Q means quick release to make sure they are in closed postition. Anyways skipping forward, I learned how to ride a bike. The first tip is to look forward. It's kind of like algorithms in Maths, just don't make sense of it. The second tip is to *ahem* just keep peddling (like just keep swimming). And the third by me (just in case) is to evade the crash like a ninja. Doing that kept me motivated and not hurt. Overall I really like biking. Now here are some pics. 






Anyways I hope you liked my blog. You can comment if there is something I can improve (even though there is a 110% chance). I hope you have a good day/night. Blog ya later!
 

Skateboarding

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everybody. Guess what we did today. Maths? I would like to but nooooo. Reading? Nuh uh. Writing? NO NO NO. You probably just saw the title anyways, but today we did skateboarding. This was our first two sessions on skateboarding this year.

This was the first of the two sessions that we have on this Friday specifically. The first session is 40 minutes and the second is 45 minutes so in total it is 1 hour 25 minutes. On Friday 20th of Nov when we did skateboarding we got introduced to 2 coaches or teachers : Ben and Lawrence. Now, I am not going talk about everything because I don't want to write a novel. So basically I learned the basic basics in the first lesson. At the start we learned the basic basic basics (just how to operate a skateboard) and then after that we did balancing. Then we played a game (fusion of red light green light and what's the time mr wolf) and after THAT we have free time. At that point I didn't like skateboarding at ALL.

The 2nd lesson is pretty much the same as the first one. I learned new moves (one I can actually do, the snake), we then play a game and in the free time I accidentally broke my nail (but it dries over time). So if I wanted to make this longer I can but again, I don't want a novel. I really liked skateboarding after that second session. I guess I really underestimated skateboarding. Now here are some pictures.

Production

 Kia Ora, bloggers. Today I am going to talk about the school production we did last week. For thosepeople who don't know what a production is, it's a show that tells a story and there is a cast, scenes and even props. l we usually do a production about a movie but, we switch it up a little bit like turning Peter Pan into Pasifika Peter Pan or something like that. Our production last week was Jasmine and Aladdin. Here's an explanation of how the production went.

Omar wants a lamp so he sends his "assistant" Geewiz to go find this guy called Aladdin to open the cave of wonders.  He finds him in the marketplace with Jasmine (the princess of the palace) and his cat Persia and Geewiz saved them. Aladdin and Persia went with Geewiz to the cave of wonders to pay for his debt. He finds the lamp and "polishes" it making the genie come out and grant him 3 wishes. The genie also says Omar and him are big foes. Alddin promised that his last wish was to set him free. Aladdin's first wish travel the world so the genie called the magic carpet. The 3 of them hop on and then fly away. Meanwhile back at the palace. Things are not going well for Jasmine. The sultan is very furious at Jasmine because she ran away. So he tests her skills by having professors teach her a lesson. But when youv'e been learning how to be a princess for 20 years, its not hard. Them he tells her about her S.T.E.M skills which were also no match for her. Okay i'll stop now.

I didn't and liked my role at the end. I liked it because I like dancing, but I also don't like because it is a very small role. I also liked that it was the end of production but I also didn't. I liked it because I didn't have to do it anymore, but I didn't like it because that was my only chance to be on stage in the seniors. I also didn't realise that when I was picking my preferences. Here is A photo (specifically).
