Our school recently went on an exciting trip to AUT Millennium, an impressive sports and training facility where many athletes come to train. At the beginning of the day, we were split into four groups, and I was in Group 2. We travelled there by bus and arrived at around 9:30. Our first activity was in the swimming pool area, where we learnt lots about water and kayak safety. We practised important skills such as huddling, linking, and chaining together, as well as learning how to safely get on and off the kayak. We also learnt about capsizing, how to hold a paddle correctly, and which way the paddle should face.

After that, we took part in some fun fitness activities. We started with a 400-metre run and then played lots of games that tested our teamwork, memory, and reaction skills. One game involved being split into two teams and memorising something on the other side of a wall before trying to recreate it. Another game involved passing a squeeze from person to person, and when it reached the last person, they had to quickly run and jump onto a soft platform. These activities were lots of fun and showed us how fitness can involve teamwork and thinking as well as exercise.

Our final activity was rock climbing, where we learnt how to climb safely and work together. There were three people at each climbing wall: One person was the climber, one person was responsible for holding the rope, and the other person helped by gently pulling the rope. This activity required trust, teamwork, and listening carefully to the safety instructions. Overall, our trip to AUT Millennium was a really fun and exciting experience. We learnt many new skills, stayed active, and worked together throughout the day, making it a trip that I really enjoyed.

Yesterday , was a day for us , to go to AUT Millennium , to experience , fun there , and also to see some people that are from the olympics , training there . The drive there was long , but when we got there , we streched outside , and listened to the rules , that the coaches were telling us about . Once that was done , we walked inside , and got straight into our first session , Rock Climbing . After was running outside on the track, we played a game , where we had to follow the rules , the coach said , like right around , up , down , or around . after the game , we walkrd back inside , to play game , on where we had to balance on marshmellows , and not fall off , otherwise , we would become hot chocolate . Our team celebrated , because we won , and we played tug of war after. Our team were tied , for the first round , and then we won , in the second round . When it was finished , we went to baton racing , where we had a few of our teamates waiting on half of the track , to run back after , once we had reached them , and passed the baton to them . I went first , and I passed my opponent , and passed my baton to my teamate , which ran back fast . So we sat down , to prepare once all our team was on the side , I was on . We beat our opponents , and met up with our teacher , so we could walk up to the eating area , where we had our morning tea . After we finished eating , we went to the changing rooms , to change into our swimming suits , for kayaking , and swimming . We sat down on the chairs , in front of the pool , while listening to the coach , and what rules we had to go over . After that , we went to where the life jackets were , so we could wear them . Once done , we went back to the chairs , and the coach called one of us at a time , to demonstrate how we would get out of the water , when our boat flipped . I was the 4th one to go , and when i flipped , water went into my nose . So I quickly went above the water , to breathe . Then I shortly made my way out of the pool . Once everyone had a turn , we got straight into our kayaks , and were pushed into the water, while we were still in the kayaks. We paddled our kayaks for a few minuites , until we were called , to come out of the water , so we could move to our next lesson . Our next lesson was about water safety. After our coach talked to us , she grabbed a mini floatable boat , where all of us , could sit on it . Once all of us were on it , we had to fall back into the water . So we all went , and when I went , I felt like I had swallowed water . So i quickly swam up , to let the water out . Then , our lesson was done . So we all hopped out , and went straight to the changing rooms . After we changed , we waited outside , in front of the pools , for the rest of our class . Once everyone was out , we walked out of the swimming room , and into the hallway , where we had to sit on the floor , and wait for the coaches , to give us a farewell . After the coaches came , Two of my classmates ,stood up , to say thank you , on behalf of the whole class . We clapped at the end . The coaches also spoke to us at the end , and said how awesome our behaviour was . After they finished speaking , we said thank you , and walked out of the building . We did roll call after we were outside , so we could hop onto the bus , back to school . After the roll was finished , we all, hopped onto the bus , and sat on the seats , while we were going back to school , to eat our lunch there .After we got back , we were all exhausted , so we went upstairs to our class , and we got our food , and went outside to eat it . After eating it , we went inside , to pack up the class for the day . After packing up , we all sat on the mat , while our teachers talked to us . Soon , the bell rang for hometime , so we said good afternoon to our teachers , and we shortly walked out .

This week LS2 went on such a cool trip to AUT Miliennum, we got put into groups and did different activity’s. there were 4 groups, group 1 and 2 did swimming group 1 did kayaking first and group 2 did  water safety then after an 1 hour we swapped side and group 1 did water safety and group 2 did kayaking.

In the first session group 1 did kayaking we were learning what to do If we ever kaped size in a kayake then after learning how to do that we had a little fun swimming around in the kayake and learned how to turn after a little play around  we got told to go to the other side of the pool and we were learning what people do if they wanna have lunch or talk together. after all of the kayaking we swapped with group 2 and learned about water safety.

We first learned how to do a huddle before entering and in the water then we had to do something called the buddie survival were 1 person was on 1 side and the other had to rescue you then we did abit more huddling and buddie skills we were learning how to enter an inflatable boat and we also got taught how to safely fall of the baot then we did this thing were 2 people grabbed onto 1 persons life jacket then we had to pull them up. after all of that we were finished with our swimming session and we got changed and had some lunch for a couple minutes, after our lunch we got ready for our next session.

Our  next session was rockclimding and running. Again group 1 and 2 got split up, group 1 first went to rockclimding and group 2 went to running. Group 1 first sat down on a white safety mat so we could listen to what we had to do. The Staff ask for 6 volunteers 3 girls and 3 boys, the  3 girls were Reign, Unique and me and we got different parts to do, there had to be a climber a B-layer which was someone who had to hold on to the robe and control the climber coming down with a brake then there was someone call a smiley that person had to make sure the B-layer had the rope in control, after a little bit of demanstration the rest of people got into groups of 3 and had some fun on the walls once every one had 1 or 2 turns on a wall we got to switch with one of the groups.

After some climbing we swapped with group 2 and did some running. We lined up to go outside once we were outside we did abit of stretching then we got to run 500 milles it was so tiring, then after the 500 miles we played a little game after the game we went back inside and played some more games before our running started, after our games we played one more game to get us ready for the running at the end of the the session, that game was called electric fence. after every thing we did our last thing of the day witch was a relay race we played 2 rounds then we finished and went to the main room.

After everything we said our thank you and went out side to our bus to go back to school. This was .such a fun day and would 100% do it again.

On thursday our class  went to AUT Millenium and had lots of fun with the activites given to us, we did lots of things including: Swimming, Team athelitcs and rock climbing, . Our groups fist activity was Survival swimming, when we started with swimming on water that was 2 meters deep but once we ho the hang of it, it wassnt that scary it was scary but the litreal whole point of this was so we could get comfortable in the water and know exactly what to do in a real emergency. This specifc task was very fun as we got to actually save people and jump off a boat also we got a tip from our coach saying that if we all cuddle up then or body heat will get trapped and wont escape we tried this while we were and two litreal meters on water luckily we used the life jackets for us.Our Next activity was kayaking  it was very hard because we had to paddle with a very heavy stick WITH the water slowing the stick down it was very hard but at the end we all had fun, The scary thing about this was about how when we started with being intentionally capsized but actually when we tried it we never drowned or died heh just a joke For our third activity, we tackled rock climbing. Before hitting the wall, we sat down to learn the safety basics, including how to fit our harnesses and how the belayer secures the rope from the bottom. When it was my turn to climb, I managed to make it halfway up the wall!Our final session was packed with sports and games. We started by stretching and running a 400-metre race on the track. Afterward, we headed into the gym for some team games. First, we played ‘Electric Fence’, a fast-paced game where a quick squeeze passed down the line triggered us to sprint. We finished the day with a classic game of ‘Red Light, Green Light’, freezing whenever the coach called “red” and racing forward on “green”. Overall, it was an awesome day filled with fun and heaps of laughter.

Yesterday LS2 was given the privilige to visit the AUT millinium. There were a list of activities that we were to give a try; rock climbing, teamwork challenges, kayaking and water safety. We all had an amusing time, while there I most enjoyed the team building challenges because it strengthen our bonding together as a class. AUT gave us many oppurtunites and support to encourage us to give new things a try.

Yesterday LS2 went to AUT Millenium and had a day of activities, we did kayaking, survival swimming, rock climing, and activities.

My groups first activity was kayaking, at the start of this activity we started with being purposely capsized, this is so that we would get comfortable with the water and would know what to do when it would really happen. This task was very fun as we got to paddle and use the kayak.

My second activity was survival swimming which we did in the same groups, for this we practiced getting into huddle on land so that we would know what to do in the water, as we got into the water we all huddled up as a group just as we practiced on land.

My third activity was rock climbing, for this  one we sat down at first at was taught all the things that would happen, like harnessing 0n to the rope, and our belayer to the bottom of the rope, when I climbed the rock wall I could only make it to half way of the wall.

My last activity was sport activities and games, to start of this activity we stretched and did a race, the track was four hundred meters so I was told. After that race we went inside to the gym to play games, our first game was eletric fence and for this we felt eachothers squeeze which triggered us to run or we would be squeezed and we squeezed the person next to us, our final game was green light red light where we would stop when our coach said red light and go when our coach said green light.

My overall day was very fun and filled with laughter.

Yesterday, the Year 7 and 8s from Panmure Bridge School headed out for an awesome day at AUT Millennium in Rosedale, up on the North Shore. We split into four groups and hopped on the bus for a 40-minute drive.

Once we got there, Groups 1 and 2 started with kayaking and water safety, swapping over when they finished their lessons. Meanwhile, Groups 3 and 4 headed to rock climbing and athletics. Throughout the day, we all got a turn at every activity. It was such a cool trip, and we were super lucky to go!

Here is what we got up to:

• Water Safety: We learned how to huddle up in the water. This keeps everyone together and stops you from getting too cold.

• Kayaking: We had a go at paddling around freely and learned what to do if your kayak flips over (capsizes).

• Rock Climbing: We strapped into safety harnesses and took turns scaling the climbing wall.

• Athletics: We ran a 400-metre race, did some relay races, and played a bunch of fun games.

It was a epic day out where we learned heaps of useful survival skills and tried out some new sports!

This week thursday we went to this massive and cool place called, Aut Millineum, Their was alot of activities like Rock Climbing, Kayaking and Sprinting, it was really fun and we got to play many games, my favourite activity was Kayaking because i got to learn how to use it, Rock Climbing was Hard but really fun, their was multiple Sections i got to climb which was really cool, we also did this thing called Triverse, its when you climb side was and you try to make it to the end, it was really fun and cool to learn, Something i enjoyed was doing this with my friends because i got to laugh with them and to have fun with them, here is some photos from my amazing Teachers.

This week we did watercolour art , and colour theory.  We did a lot of colour mixing and cool watercolour techniques , Me the class, and my friends had alot of fun doing these activities and we are going to do more soon. While we were learning about colours I learnt that the only real colours in the world , or our primary colours are red, yellow, and blue. These are my art creations I made and my favourite colours I made while mixing was light blue, light pink, and green. My favourite technique was the wax crayon and watercolour which makes a cool design .

Kia Ora! Today I wanted to inform you guys about my favourite animal: A Tiger! I have made an information poster about a Tiger to let you guys know about it. The hardest part in doing this was finding the facts. I don’t really know that much about a Tiger, so I researched about it and put it on here. The thing I liked in this activity was  choosing what to write about. We could write about lots of things, so I picked my favorite animal. I will probably research more about Tigers because I like them. I will probably research more about Tigers because I like them.
