Have you ever ice-skated before? Do you know how to? Could you teach us? Have you ever ice-skated outside in the open air of Zagreb's Zrinjevac during the Advent? IT is such a special experience.
Just before going to their own Advent walk and ice-skating outing with their own Year 8, our Year 8 pupils Sara and Sanjay interviewed our Year 7 pupils about their own experience of ice-skating during the Zagreb Advent. Let's see what the pupils of Year 7 said...
BZ: WHAT WAS THE BEST THING SBOUT THE ICE-SKATING OUTING?
The best thing was playing around on ice and the food was amazing.
I really liked how we guys were racing all the time.
The best thing was that we skipped school and didn't have to do any schoolwork.
The best thing was when someone fell who was not really good at ice-skating. But overall, it was really fun.
BZ: HAVE YOU EVER ICE-SKATED BEFORE? WHAT OTHER WINTER SPORTS DO YOU DO?
Yes, we have ice-skated before. We also went skiing together.
Yes, I have ice-skated before but nothing else besides that.
Yes, we have ice-skated before, but also tried snowboarding.
Yes, we skated before and I even went on competitions a few years ago.
BZ: WHAT ELSE DID YOU DO BESIDES ICE-SKATING DURING YOUR ADVENT OUTING?
We ate a lot of food and went shopping a bit.
I also ate delicious food from the Advent market, such as fritule with nutella. I also tried a hamburger from one of the shops.
We ate sausages with ketchup at a street Advent shop and we bought some sweets.
We tried food and had really good French fries.
BZ: WHAT WAS THE WORST THING ABOUT THE OUTING?
We didn't like it that there were already so many people early in the morning.
The worst thing for me was when I would fall on the ice.
Falling and traffic. Oh, we also took a picture with some electric polar bear.
Some of the prices of food were too high.
BZ: CAN YOU GIVE US SOME ADVICE FOR ANYONE LEARNING TO ICE-SKATE?
We advise you to find balance and try to bend your knees a little.
I can't give any advice because I'm not that good at skating:)
Stay focused and concentrated.
When you fall, get up.
All things considered, the outing was lots of fun! Year 8 went ice-skating the day after this interview. We hope they listened to the advice:)
