Year 5 SKIING!!

2 weeks ago in week 6, the year 6s went skiing and so did the year 5s. The 6 ski day was on Tuesday 2 weeks ago and the year 5 ski day was on Thursday. and I am a year 5 so I went on Thursday. Ok, ok enough blabbering on about the days! So this is the story of Elly Mae and the year 5 ski trip.


Once upon a time, there was a school called Hampden Street school. Ok whatever let's just get on with the ski day! HELLO I am Elly Mae and I will tell all about the year 5 ski day. So of course we had to come to school early and I arrived at 7.00 am. Mr O called out the role and then everyone ran to the cars. My mum was taking transport and in the car was Oreala, Anna, Holly and I. On the way we got some lollipops and mints.


Finally we arrived after 2 hours of doing nothing (Thumbs are up). I was going spastic of course because I absolutely love the snow! First we had to put all of our gear on and skis then we headed down for the skiing!

I went on the intermediate slope first because I have been skiing once before and I got to the intermediate slope. But then after about 30 minutes of going down the ski slope, Mr Ashby invited me and Anna to go down the tea bar slope. I was quite unsure at first, but then I said "Yes I AM GOING TO DO THIS!" And so we went right up to the top of the mountain and then stopped at the top. Mr Ashby said, "Just follow me and when you go down don't go straight down just ski side to side." When I looked down at the massive slope, I thought, "I cannot do this, this is SO big!" But I went down it.
Mr Ashby went first, I went second and Anna went down third. IT WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE!! And I am not kidding it was fantastic! I thanked Mr Ashby for asking me to go on the tea bar. And I thanked Anna for coming with me down the amazing slope of awesomeness.

Next we had to eat some food, I had a pie. Yep a pie. AND you know what flavor? What flavor!? PIE FLAVOUR! Okay now I am sounding like asdf if you know what that is. So I ate my pie and drank my fejoa and apple juice. Then I went down the tea bar slope 3 more times until it was time for
my lesson, "Yay!" I couldn't wait for my lesson.

Now it was the level 4 and 3 lessons (I am a level 3) Our instructor was Lizzy, I think that was her name. Anyway, she all taught us that you know same old thing, the airplane. Then when we stopped in the middle of the intermediate slope, Rhea came bundling down and crashed into me! One of my skis came off and I got a bruise on my hip. I had to put my ski that had come off back on, but it was really hard because we were in the middle of the slope. It was really embarrassing because I was holding everyone up. Lizzy got a bit grumpy and she tried to help and I tried my best to put my ski back on, but it took a long time and Lizzy started to get really angry. Eventually it came on (Phew) We went down the intermediate slope about 2 more times, then Lizzy said after all of the begging that we would go down the tea bar slope that Mr Ashby, Anna and I went down. We all got really excited and headed for the machine that get's you to the top of the mountain.


When we got to the top of the mountain this little girl (not from our school) was really scared and she did NOT want to go down the big slope. But Lizzy said that she had to. And the little girl started to cry, I felt really sorry for that girl. And I thought it was really rude of Lizzy to make her go down the slope and she was not ready yet. :-( Anyway we all went down the shimmering, white slope full of snow. We went down the way that Anna and Mr Ashby and I went down. She didn't really say much, Lizzy, she only just stopped in the middle of the slope with all the other kids to see that the little girl that she had made go down the slope was crying and she had fallen over. "Come on get up" Lizzy said and helped the little girl. So then when Lizzy had a talk with the girl about being confident and being brave, we all continued going down the mountain. We kept on going in the same direction, but then she kept on going forward and I thought this is not right where are we going. THEN I realised that we were actually going down the shirfront! AND THAT MY FRIENDS is one of the BIGGEST SLOPES AT RAINBOW SKI FIELD! Lizzy didn't warn us at all that we were going down here! And that little girl was screaming. We all just went down, sliding and falling over. Then Lizzy stopped in the middle of the slope and thought that we had to stop again in the middle, but then I lost control and went straight down the SLOPE!! And man I was screaming.



When we all got to the end of the massive slope, mum was watching and I told her how bad of a ski teacher Lizzy was. But the ski day was fantastic apart from not realising that I was going down the shirfront! But then I said to mum, "Do you think I should go down the shirfront slope again?" And mum said "I don't know, maybe." Then I asked Anna if she wanted to go down the shirfront with me. And she said yes! So we got up to the top of the mountain and went skiing down the mountain. Mr Marsten was there as well. And when we were about to go down the big, shirfront slope I got really scared. Anna went down a bit shaky but she was fine and got down to the bottom before me. When I was still hesitating at the top, Mr Marsten came and taught me how to go down it. I went down with him guiding me. Then half way down the slope I went straight down and put my hands in the air and screamed, "I DID IT!!!!" It was the best thing in my whole life! And mum took a video of me going down it and said, "Well Done!"


So that was most of my ski day. Thank you for reading! ;-)
