Clubs

On Friday went all went into our club rooms, mine was Scrapbooking / Crafts.

When I entered the class I expected card, felts, paper, coloring pencils Etc, but I was wrong, there were Patterned paper, feathers, colorful card, buttons and loads more crafty things. Miss Kennedy showed us a piece of card that was concertina folded with photos stuck on each fold. She had made it when she was 12 with photos of Christmas Day. Hannah and I both got inspired by that and decided to make one of our own. I am making mine with photos of my holiday in Auckland and Hannah is making hers about her horse Goldie and AMP shows.

Hannah and I Cut out lots of pieces of card to stick our photos on, which took us quite a while because it was hard to get the right shape of card and if we cut it a little to small we had to re-cut it out.

                     This is a Concertina fold

After our folding difficulties we tried to figure out a way how to stick / glue them together, but we think we will just use sticky tape. I found that the time flew by really fast so didn’t really get much done. We had to put our projects that weren’t finished in a box with all the others so that our work wouldn’t be wasted / lost.  It was really entertaining watching the younger kids share their cards that they had made for their parents / teachers because they were so confident when they were sharing.

Cross Country

The day everyone had been waiting for had come, it was cross country. We arrived there at 12:00 and sat down in our year groups. Then we listened to Mr Priddy talk about what we were all going to do. First race was the year 1-2 race which was entertaining to watch. Then it was year 3,4,5,6 and then finally 7 girls which was 2.5 k’s, I count run because when I was climbing my Richardson a big rock rolled down into my ankle and bruised it. It felt like I was waiting ages for the year 7’s to come back, but then Katie came in after about 10 minutes which was very fast. I was very proud of Katie because at the end when she came in, she could hardly breathe. I think that Katie deserved to come first because she really pushed herself to her very best. I was also very proud of Hannah for the same reasons as Katie, she really pushed herself. In the end I was very proud of everyone because I know they all pushed them to the limits.

Here is Hannah's, Zoe's and my ANZAC presentation about Medical First Aid that we made on iMovie.
We had a few difficulties making this because the iPad kept loosing our videos that we recorded because of the small amount of storage that was left on the iPad.

Mt Richardson Walk

                                                  

On Friday 13th the whole school either went on the bus or went in a car to Mt Richardson. I went on the bus. I sat next to Annabelle on the bus.  When we got there we all got told who the parents were and then everyone got numbered off. I was number 20. Then we started the 6 - 7 hour walk. Most of the way I was coming 9th but it kept changing. I found climbing up mostly easy but some of the steep bits I found kinda hard. I think it took around 3 - 4 hours to get up but I'm not sure. When we had morning tea I went to grasp out my lunch box , but I realised it wasn't in there! I was very annoyed that I forgot to take my lunch box out of the fridge. It was in the fridge because mum had work early so she just wanted to make it last night, even though I do make my lunch, she just wanted to make it. I thought I did take out my lunch box but I didn't. When we were at the top it was very windy and cold, luckily I had warm clothes. Then we sat down a had some lunch, while waiting for some of the last people get to the top. After lunch we had a few photos taken and then got numbered off again. This time I was number 47. After we all were numbered off w e all started heading down. The people who were mostly in front of me were Mrs Hanna, Holly M, Annabelle, Katie, Hannah and then me. Behind me you couldn't really see anyone until about an hour Holly p and Emma caught up. Sometimes I didn't have enough space when going down a steep bit and that was a bit annoying because I have a big bruise on my knee from not having enough space. Also when we were having a break, a big rock went into my ankle and bruised my bone, which really hurt. Once we were at the bottom we had something to eat and then waited in the bus for the last few people to come in.
