Tekapo Trip

On Wednesday the 26th of August Centennial School went up to Tekapo. We hired three big buses and it was a long trip up there but it was worth it. When we got up there Mr. Jury told us what we were going to do first. The senior school went in the hot pools first while the juniors went ice skating. We went and jumped into our togs and ran out to the hot pools. We soaked in the pools for a while and then we got out and had lunch. We watched the little kids ice skate, and to tell you the truth, they were really good.
After lunch we grabbed our skates and jumped on the ice. At first I wasn’t too good but then I got the hang of it. I fell over lots of times. The first time I fell over I banged my hip and it really hurt but I got over it. There were lots of kids with frames but I didn’t need one because I could skate really well.
We were skating for quite a while and then we had to get off the ice. We took off our skates, jumped on the bus and headed for home.
Next year I think we all really want to go again because it was fun.
