PREP-1WY AND GRADE 5-6 BUDDY ZONE BOWLING EXCURSION
If you love bowling, then this article is right up your alley!
On Monday November 22nd, 19 groups of P/1 and 5/6 buddies hopped on the bus and travelled into Moonah to get the ball rolling on their Zone Bowling excursion. We met Kathy, a bowling coach who showed us some different bowling techniques. We also saw one bowler who bowled with a two-handed technique! Kathy spoke to us about what bowling balls and pins are made of and had a ball and pin cut in half for us to see the inside. It was very fascinating! We spent the day putting our skills of Tenpin Bowling to the test with our buddies, trying to knock down as many pins as we could, it was so much fun!
Here are some of our younger buddies’ reflections:
Ella – On Monday we went bowling, it was very, very fun. I wish that we could go bowling again. When I was bowling I got the highest score out of all of the kids that were playing but even though I only got 1 strike and 2 spares.
Scarlett – We went Zone Bowling. First I missed the pins. I hit the pins into the gutter.
Emillia – On Monday we went to Zone Bowling. It wasn’t fun at the start for me, but every time I rolled the ball it felt more fun. On my 3rd go, I got a spare. We all had special shoes to wear so we wouldn’t wreck the floor.
Olive – On our excursion to Zone Bowling we had to wear slippery shoes to bowl. You got to have two turns.
Kayden – We went to Zone Bowling and you had to step on the black line to roll the bowling ball.
Oscar – We went to Zone Bowling and we knocked over some pins. We had the gutters on.
Finn – On Monday the 22/11/2021, our class and our 5/6 buddies went to Zone Bowling for an excursion, it was fun. We had bumpers and some people were using the slides but I wasn’t. The last time I went I was five. I was much better than last time.
Tess – We went to Zone Bowling. I knocked two pins. I got to have three turns at the end.
Chelsea – Yesterday we went bowling. It was soooooooooooooo fun. I kept getting spares.
Silas – We went to Zone Bowling in Moonah on an excursion with our Grade 5/6 buddies. I used a blue ball, but I didn’t roll any strikes, not even a spare, but I got lots of 7s and I had fun.
Macy – On our excursion we went to Zone Bowling. It was my third time on the bus. I learnt to keep my thumb at the front. If you throw it, the ball will bounce but if you keep your thumb at the front the ball will roll.
Amelia – On Monday we went on an excursion to Zone Bowling. You have to have a bumper for the gutters so then your ball doesn’t go in the gutters. It’s fun!
Emily – We went to bowling on a class excursion and the Grade 5/6s went to bowling too. Stephanie won. It was hard because the bowling ball was heavy and you had to use your fingers in the holes. It was fun.
Esther – On Monday we went on an outing. Kathy talked to us. It was fun. It was an excursion to go bowling. I got 5 skittles down in one go.
Isla – We went to bowling in Moonah with the Grade 5/6s. The ball was heavy. I used the little slide. It was fun. You need special shoes. My partner helped me.
Archie – At Zone Bowling I got 81 pins. We had a partner, my partners were Finn G and Hamish. I got a spare. A spare is when you hit some down and you hit the rest down.
Angel – I didn’t get a strike, but I was so close to getting one because I only had two pins left.
Henry – I liked it when I got a strike, I didn’t need two goes because I got it in one.
