We were fortunate to take a group of students, teachers and whanau up to Mount Hutt for the day.
We arrived at school before 7am, ready to load into cars for the trek. There was much excitement! - From our littlest 5 year olds, to our parents and teachers! It was quite dreary weather during the drive, but as we headed up the access road, we drove up through the clouds and found ourselves with clear skies up above.
We had the option of skiing or snowboarding. It was pretty tricky getting the ski boots on for those of us who weren't used to wedging our feet in. We headed straight into our lessons with the fabulous Mt Hutt Instructors.

DeleteHello my name is Charlie Frost and I'm from Karoro School. I enjoyed reading this piece of good writing. It reminded me of when I go skiing every year. Next time add more detail on how it what the weather was like.
ReplyDeleteHi Charlie, The weather was absolutely fabulous, as seen in the photo's. It was pretty murky until we rose up above the clouds on the drive up the mountain.
DeleteHi my name is Breanna from Karoro School, I really like how you went skiing, it is so much fun. It made me think of the first time I went skiing. I wasn't doing any turns so I was flying down the mountain then I hit a lump of snow and forwards rolled once down the mountain and slammed my skis in some ice and laughed even though it hurt so bad.
ReplyDeleteHi Breanna, Your first time skiing sounds just like my first time skiing, way back when I went to Greymouth Junior High School! I headed straight down the hill, waving to my friends in the group at the bottom... and then plowed right through them because I didn't know how to stop! I don't remember whether it hurt but I'm sure it did... probably mortifyingly embarrassing as well!
DeleteHi my name is Alaska from Karoro School it sounds like a lot of fun and it sounds tricky. Maybe next time you should say more what you did or what you learnt.
ReplyDeleteHi Alaska, Hopefully some of our students have gone into more detail on their individual blogs. It was a lot of fun (and very tricky!) Last year, I tried snowboarding for the first time. That was very tricky!!! It was nice to be skiing and experiencing a bit more success!
DeleteHi Gilberthorpe I am Mikael from Yaldhurst school it looks like you guys had a good time. we also went skiing afue weeks ago it was really fun. next time I think that you should say what you guys lernt.

ReplyDeletekia ora Gilberthorpe School my name is Ilish From Karoro School I really like playing in snow. It reminded me of when WE were going back to Greymouth from Christchurch. It feels like cold Ice braking through my hands and my shoes and the time were I was going to ski but it was way to cold . I have always wanted to snow board and ski.
ReplyDeleteHi Ilish (I think I've told you before, but my daughter's name is Ailis - pronounced the same!), We used to stop at the rest areas, between Christchurch and Greymouth, to get the skiis out on the wee hills!
DeleteHi, I am Porsha from Karoro School. I really like that you went skiing/snowboarding with your class, I personally have never been skiing or snowboarding but it sounds really fun. It made me think of when I was moving from Christchurch to Greymouth and we played with the snow on the way.

ReplyDeleteKia Ora Gilberthorpe School my name is Hamish from Karoro School. I love how you took lots of people old or young. This reminded me of when my brother went skiing and he nearly flew of the mountain but was saved by the fence. Maybe next time you could add a bit more information on what happened while you were there.
