Activity 1: Surfs Up!

In New Zealand we have many beautiful beaches and stunning waterfalls. One of the most spectacular waterfalls is called Kitekite and it is located in Piha, a small village west of Auckland. Tourists and locals flock to Piha during the summer season to enjoy the waterfall, the local beach, and the great surf. Have you ever tried surfing? Although I have never surfed many of my friends have and they absolutely love it. In fact, it is their favourite summer activity! What is yours?
For this activity, please take a picture of yourself doing one of your favourite summer activities. It could be anything! Here is a picture of one of our team members (Laura) doing one of her favourite summer activities.

On your blog, post a picture of yourself doing one of your favourite summer activities. Below the picture tell us what the activity is and tell us why it is one of your favourites.



One of my favourite summer activities is soccer (football) because I like running around and kicking a ball, another reason why I like soccer is because of the strategy involved, you can feint left and go right or do the complete opposite. Mind games are usually what are in play during penalty shootouts because the goalie has to try and predict where the striker will kick the ball based on the striker's movements.

  1. Kia Ora Alex,

    Soccer is an awesome summertime activity! Do you play in a school or club soccer team? A few years ago I joined a summer soccer team with my friends. I had only played hockey before hand but the strategy is very similar between the two sports so I had lots of fun! Do you watch or follow any New Zealand or overseas soccer teams?

    Keep up the awesome work!

    Blog ya later,

    Dani

  2. Hey again Alex,

    Well done for completing this activity. I finished this activity too. It's great to see you completing these activities during these summer holidays. Thanks for sharing your learning about this activity. Did you enjoy doing this task? Why? Soccer is one of the top sports in the world. I love soccer too, but I mostly love rugby. The image that you have taken of yourself playing soccer is great. It's just like an action photo. This photo was taken at the right time with that great pose. Yes there tricks are amazing and their strategies.

    NICE:)
