weekly update 9

Friday 20 of september


My highlight of the week was the production

My positive was two things. Number one, I was in it. Number two, lots of people laughed. I was in scene nine the last scene. My scene was about blood, decapitation and a lot of limb. My minus was my line wasn't that big but it was fine.


I am looking forward to athletics. I love doing athletics because we do it once a year and it a lot of sports in one day.

weekly 1 to 7 update

August 30 2019

This term has been really fun!  We have done a lot of stuff - cantamaths, service day, production and a heap more. In this blog I will be talking about market day, the disco and production.  First it will be Market day.


Market day was a fun.  I was with Manu and James and we made milkshakes.  It took a long time to prepare but it happened. My minus was where we got placed because we were on the opposite side where most people were. My positive is I was with my friends and we made profit and I made $6.60 which was less than I thought but it is still profit.  My interesting was how many people came to the whole thing.


The next thing I will be talking about is the disco. The disco was great.  The Sheppard and Rutherford went from 5:30-7:00 our one went from 7:30-9:00. My positive was the songs were good, most of my friends were there and it was better than I thought. My interesting was I chugged a whole bottle of sparkling lemonade. My minus was after I chugged a whole bottle of sparkling lemonade my tummy got sore.


The last thing I will be talking about the production. I am in scene nine.  It is about shakespeare I'm child 5. Our song is the 'SAT blues'.  I practiced yesterday.


These are my pictures ....

Friday 28 of June

On Monday it was a normal boring day. Monday is my least favorite day because we go back to school from the
rancis of Assisi weekend. I also found out that i'm painting an eel.

On Tuesday it was another normal day not doing much again but I found out that I'm painting the eel with Tom and Harry at 11.00-12.00.

On Wednesday we had a sausage sizzle for lunch.  I got two sausages and a fresh bun. Otherwise it was a normal day.

On Thursday we went to winter sport as normal and we versed St Francis of Assisi and we tied with them. After the game two of the people from St Francis of Assisi got interviewed by someone from 'What Now?'  I played as a forward even though I'm a back.

This morning we played a game of twister, it was chaotic!!!

Friday 17 May

Hello

This week we did a little bit not to much this week. On Thursday we went to winter sports.  For winter sports I played tackle rugby. We have quite a big team around 21 players in one team. They can't have two teams because you will need fifteen players in each team so if we had 30 or more there would be two teams. For rugby we play two games we vs West Spreydon and St Francis of Assisi. I was on for a half in each game. For the first game I scored quite a few tries. The second game I scored 1 or 2 tries.

End of Term Reflection

Hello

This term we did a lot of stuff like cycle safety, swimming sports and way more fun stuff it was a really fun term and I'm excited for next term.

My highlight for this term was probably the Caritas fundraiser day because we built a house out of duct tape, cardboard and one or two sheets and it was windy. My group was Storm, Manu, Tom, Martin, Ollie and me it was challenging but fun.

Another highlight was Korfball.  It's basically netball but it has different hoops and a different ball.  We did Korfball all week except Friday it was a really fun sport but I would rather rugby. I liked doing cycle safety as well  because we learnt bike rules while on bike and I love biking. I am looking forward cross country and maybe more exciting stuff next term.

I liked everything this term because we did so much fun stuff this term I loved it all.

weekly update

Korfball
this week we played Korfball, Korfball is basically net ball but it has different hoops and if you are getting blocked you can't shoot so pass quick. There was a guy called Youri he taught us how to play  Korfball. I would rather Korfball over netball.
