Clubs

On Fridays at school we have started club day afternoons. This is where we chose a club run by the teachers or parents to do for the afternoon. I chose scrapbooking because I like doing it in my own time and if I did it as a club I would be able to give and receive constructive feedback. I would also be able to expand on other people's ideas to make it your own and have more great resources to use.

When I turned up I was amazed to see how many people had chose this club. We all filed into the classroom like a mouse to cheese and sat down on the mat in front of Mrs Kennedy(the teacher that was running the club). She explained how to put a photo onto coloured paper making sure that you were colour coding and choosing some set colours so you are not over crowding your page. Then she sent us off to make either a card or a photo book.

Holly,Piper,Kate,Phoebe and I wanted to do a best friends photo book, so we got Mrs Kennedy's fancy camera and went outside to take photos. We focused on doing creative and good quality photos. Because I am definitely not photogenic I made sure I was taking most of the photos. After we had taken 70 photos we loaded them all onto Mrs Kennedy's computer and went through the process of deleting the ones we don’t like. 

As I was looking at the photos I decided to do a photo book one separately so I could keep it. Soon we were packing up everyone's mess. I am really looking forward to the next club day because we will be photoshopping our photos!!!!!!!!

ANZAC

At school we have been focusing on ANZAC. We got to chose a topic to work on and create a digital presentation on it. I chose to do The Frontline as a topic and I decided to do an explain everything and a Kahoot on it. I can't put the Kahoot on here because you need my password, but here is my explain everything(You have to watch it on a computer because it will not show up on a Ipad)):

Cross Country

As I climbed into Rhianna's car on a cold,cloudy Wednesday I had two things on my mind:

1. I have approximately one and a half hours to break my leg.

2.Mother Nature please,please RAIN!!!!!

I was heading to the Domain to do Cross Country. As you can probably tell I am not very fond of it. 

By the time we had got to the domain I hadn't managed to break my leg and it almost looked like it was going to be a warm day!!! We got seated by the signs but that didn't last long because the juniors had started to race. We all raced to the finish line like bees to honey to cheer them on. Time was disappearing but the nervous brick in my stomach was not disappearing any time soon. 

After I had stuffed down a sausage the very organised Mrs Sutherland hearded us like sheep to where we were supposed to sit. I tried to calm my nerves but the fact it was boiling hot and we had to run 3km in a race wasn't really helping. Before I new it we were lining up, doing stretches and we were off.

We started with a lap of the rugby field. I was running with Derrin because she has the same pace as me. After a lap or so we were puffing ten to a second. We jogged into the forest and I was relieved to find that it was shady. We came out of the forest and we were hit by searing heat. We ran another 500m and then we sprinted like kids coming out of school to the finish line.

Even though I was exhausted I looked around for Haylley. She was just starting to do the last lap of the field so Holly P and I started to run with her(it probably wasn't a good thing to do on my part because I didn't have a drink). 

Overall I am very proud of myself and I am so glad I don't have to do it again.  

Mt Richardson

It had started out as a pretty warm day. We had just started to climb Mt Richardson with the school and apart from a few ups it had been really easy. Brooklyn,Haylley and I had been chatting away. Soon we were up to a steep part and we stopped talking. Unlucky this steep part went on and on and on. It was the kind of grinding steep part,when you almost have to pull your legs up. This went on for what seemed like an hour,but I probably was shorter than that. 

Once we had got to the top of that hill we stopped for morning tea. Happily we flopped down and decided how much we were going to eat. The hardest part for me was trying not to eat all my food. Soon we had recharged our batteries and we were raring to go. I started to walk with Emma which was good because we talked a bit and we didn't really notice how fast time was passing by. 

Soon I got to a part that I knew was close to the top. We grunted up the last bit and then before we knew it we were at a the very windy top of Mt Richardson. It was cold. The wind was howling around us and it almost seemed like it was going to pick us up and carry us down the mountain. 

We found a spot out of the wind and put lots of clothes on. I ate everything,but I left some food for afterwards. After a long wait we were put in a line and we numbered off. I was in the back so when we set of I started to run to the front. It was quite a long way from the back to the front,but I did make it. I loved going down,because we had a good pace and we were all chatting away(and I didn't fall over). 

Soon we were sprinting out of the track and rolling down the hill!!!!!

Book Review

The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley

By Colin Thompson & Amy Lissiat

This book had the same author has Norman and Brenda,so that is why we decided to read it.

The front cover had a picture of a slightly dirty,purple mouse holding a piece of cheese and a human doll. My prediction was that Riley(which I assumed was the mouse) found a doll and had a happy life because he had company.

The book started by explaining how humans want to live forever and nothing pleases them. Whenever they have blonde hair they want it to be brown and vise versa. I found the sentences really  humorous and cleaver. Then it explained how Riley(the mouse) lived a happy life and didn't need much to make him happy. That was basically the storyline the whole way through,but it never got boring. The author always had a great way to make it entertaining and funny. 

At the end of the book like the last one it said,

"Release your inner Riley"

I would highly recommend this book
