Skate Stars

On Friday Room 20, with a few added extras from Rooms 17 and 21, had our turn on the ice rink set up in the school hall as part of the Ice Skate Tour.

We met Robin, who was in charge, and he told us a few safety pointers about the boots and the blades.  Then the boys lined up and swapped shoes for boots, helmets and gloves.  A group of senior students were there to help us get our boots on quickly which was great.  It wasn't long before the girls were also getting their skate gear and then we were on the "ice".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


There were a few wobbles, a few falls, some holding on to the side and some zooming about happening all at the same time.

Once everyone was skating Robin stopped us to practice getting up when we had fallen down and to make sure we were all going in the same direction.

I was really impressed with how the students helped each other out, skating round with students who were a little unsure, and helping those that had fallen back on their feet.

Soon the music and the bubbles were pumping and we were having an amazing time, with lots of smiles and laughter in evidence.  We had just enough time for a group photo before it was time to finish and change back into our shoes in time for lunch.

Well done Room 20!
