Ski Team Trip

For most of the week we were at the North Island Ski Champs down at Mt Ruapehu. We were competing for the school.  Monday was a pratise day and we had a lesson with this guy called Benny.  After that we had a snowball fight. 

On Tuesday it was race day and it was a really good day to race on but the snow was crusty.  After our first race we were lucky to hear that there was a second race because Gemma had crashed on her first.  It was a fabulous crash because I went right through the gate and took the gate over the finish line!!!

On Wednesday Gemma, Mikalya, Grace, Rachel, Abby, James, Louis, David and Paul started on our huge snow fort. Our snow fort grew as tall as David who is James's dad.  We had a snowball fight.  It was Meadowbank, Milford and some other kids we made friends with vs Kings. Some kids were really mean and through ice at Abby's eye and she had to wear an eye patch they also bruised Louis face and knocked down both of our snow forts.

On Thursday we had to go home and back to school.  NEVER!!!!!
