The next thing we did was the trampoline. I had to jump onto the trampoline that goes to the stage and land on a big comfy mat with our hands in the hair vertically. We then had to do a forward roll on the mat. if we had mastered that we could jump onto the trampoline with our hands on the edge of the stage and do a forward roll. We then jumped off the stage onto the next part which is where we had to do a backwards roll. When we had mastered that we had to do a backwards roll on the floor. After this we had to do the candle shape which is where you lift your bum off the floor and you hold your back with your hands. Lastly we had to do two handstands.


Second rotation: The first thing we did in the second rotation was the handstand on the wall. Second was the bars, we had to lift our legs off the bar and then but it back at the bar. Next we had to put our legs on a square cube and push our back down. Next was the back support.

He settled down the three kete's by his feet and while he was doing his haka he kicked the stars over to create what it looks like know. The world was still dark so he thought that he would put in the moon. It still remained dark. So then he decided to get the sun. Light came upon from the sky's and there was light.

In that hole we had to put a ball inside of it and our group had to hold the handle's of the ropes and pull it to the window. We also had another round where we had to do activity's while doing the activity. This was hard because one of the activity's was to jump on two feet. We failed that task but it was fun because it was funny to see people jump when they were holding the rope. This activity helped us with responsibility because we had to be responsible for our own role.

I enjoyed this weeks kiwi can because the activity helped me with knowing what responsibility means.

Sailing

On Tuesday  a couple of lucky students got the chance to participate on the Okahu Bay Volo Have a go. We were lucky enough to get two sponsors by Yachting New Zealand and Rotary. That day was the perfect day to go sailing with the sun so high and the breeze making waves. 

The first thing that we had learnt was how to make the boats. Everything was already set for us so all we had to do was put the parts together. Our sailing instructors Steve, JR, Justin also helped us with how to sail the boat. In our partners each person had a job. The first job that I had done was pulling the rope to make the flag on the sailboat faster. We then went onto a big boat with justin in it. Justin took us to Steve. We had roamed around ASC to Mechanic Bay. 

After lunch, We had sailed with our partners to sheltered bay to play activities and games like grabbing balls out of the water. Some people were lucky enough to get the water guns. We had also jumped out of the sail boat and struggled our way back into the boat.

Yesterday was an awesome experience because I got to go sailing and got to learn more about different parts.I would like to thank Rotary, Yachting New Zealand for sponsoring us and our instructors Justin, JR and Steve. I would also like to thank Mrs Daf, Mr Wong and Mr Ogilvie for taking us on the awesome experience to Volo have a go sailing.
