The Winter Sports Games
I am particapating in the Winter Sports Games for netball on Friday.
It is at Kirstin PS and we play more than one game.
1 quarter is only 7 minutes so 28 minutes altogether,I hope we win all of even most our games.
Mostly it is year 6s but apparently a few good year 5s are also coming so I am looking forward to go and the best part is that we will be there the whole school time and you don't have to study or work at school.
Production Practice
We've been practising for our Production.The name of the production The Button Box.
I am in the Choir.
The Choir has a lot of singing and practises a whole heap of times and we also get to see a few parts of the production in action with bloopers, and it was funny when people tried to get attention.
I'm in the Bollywood Dancing Group.
We're just an ordinary dancing group but out dance is AMZAING! Mrs.
Gopi is teaching us the dance.

Inquiry project
Today after morning tea Mrs Prangley came to our class to insepect our inquiry projects most of us made a slide show and some of us made a wind mill that picks up paper clips. I only made a slide show and it looked "awesome!" I was one of 15 kids that made one. I love doing things like that - making slide shows with animations and the credits it was so funny! I have made a production company that is called Electro Productions

Cross Country + Inter-School
“3, 2, 1, GO!" I jogged down the hill passing the other girls, and then I turned the corner. After turning the corner I had to run up the hill, boy that was tiring, but I wasn't puffed out yet! Now we went down a hill, through some trees and back in the bright yellow sun.
It was time to run up the big, tall hill. I jogged up the hill with sweat running down my face and a small painful stitch in my tummy. So far I was 4th. Finally we got to go down the hill, Yay! Now we went back the way we came. Oh no! Another hill!
Before I knew it a girl passed me, oh how it would be a dream to come top 5. (I have never come top 5.)
I was back in the school grounds. Almost there! I was on the field still in 5th place. Then I decided that I could run fast enough to pass the two girls in front of me, and I did it! I was 3rd now. I hope I will stay in this position until the end! Oh, another hill, I jogged up quite slowly. Then I was close to the finish line. I jogged in the middle of the court, everyone was cheering, and...and... I made it! I was 3rd. my dream had come true! It was quite different this year because all the fast girls apart from one, didn’t come top 5! That was a change. Then it was all over. The intermediate I am going to next year you can choose to do cross country. Should I or should I not do it? Anyway I was so glad it was over. I had a great time then ever! (Because it was the first time I came third) I can’t wait until inter- school!
Inter-School
Even though it is the last day of term 2 and Inter-School was ages ago I'm still going to write about this fun and tiring event.
I sat in the car thinking of what inter-school was going to be like. When we got there I was so excited! ( The event was held at Long Bay Primary School) After we had a trial of the course the races began. When the 10/11 year old girls were up, my heart started to beat as fast as a cheetah running, I was so nervous.
"3, 2, 1, GO!" I sprinted as fast as I could. Through the muddy hill we went. Then around the cones, through the trees and up the hill. I sprinted down the hill as fast as I could, I was totally puffed out. Then it was time for the GINOURMOUS hill. I jogged up the hill with a big stitch in my tummy. Almost there! Down the hill we go, around the corner, and around the corner again, and I was back where I started. I ran around the field and... I made it! I was so proud of myself though I came 8th to last. I had a great day, and I got an ice block after school!

The Cross country
On Friday 25 May our school did the cross country. We had to dress up in our house colours my house colour is red. After morning tea we it was time to do the cross country. First 7 year olds, then 8 year olds, 9 year olds and finally my age group 10/11 year olds. We all lined up, people keep going over the start line because they were so eager. Then all of a sundder 3,2,1 GO!!. First down the steep hill. Then up a steep hill. I was just cruising along then suddenly 5 people passed me. I speed up as fast as I could I got passed them. I was really trying to beat my friend this year because when we do the practise I only beat him by like 10 metres. 500 metres to go i am beating him by 4 metres then suddenly he got a minor asthma attack I stopped went back walk a bit with him that didn't matter because I was beating the rest of the people by about 100 metres. I think I was coming about 8th at the time then he said "you can go on" So I did I got back I was not sure what I came but my friend Dylan came 1st ever since year 1 he has come 1st. I saw my friend come in he was alright he went home early. It was so fun.
