Fitness Roster

For the past week or so we have been doing a fitness roster.
This is when a few people have a game ready for their day. But you must have everything you need. My group includes me, Daisy and Sarah. We decided to play a game called Sardines. This is like a game of hide-and-seek but instead of everyone going to hide and one person finding them, it is when one person goes and hides and the other people have to find that person. Also when you find the person you have to hide with them until everyone has come. Our group is probably 1 of the 3 groups who got to play their games because other days we would have no time to play or we would have forgotten.

I hope that we can carry on with the fitness roster next term.

Amazing Andy Griffiths!

Yesterday we went to the Town Hall to listen to Andy Griffiths. He told us how to write good stories. Also he told us some bad jokes that are funny because it's such a terrible joke, here are some that I remember:

Q:Why did the boy fall off his bike?
A:Because his mother threw a fridge at him!

Q:How did the boy end up in hospital with a very serious condition?
A:Because he got run over by a truck that was driven by his mother!

Andy also told about some of his crazy ideas, which are:
1. Never super glue yourself into a shower with the water running and
2. never let a baby meet a dinosaur in the middle of the road.

HA-HA-HA!

Cookies

Creepy cookies create my screams.
Chewy cookies call my dreams.
Cookies, cookies I like cookies.
Don't forget to eat some cookies.

Sparkle - Angela is getting better at art

I'm getting better at art because I have learnt a lot about surrealist portraits.

I've also learnt about blending and contrasting colors.
I'm very proud of my surrealist portrait because I have never done anything like this before.

Ratsy

Curtains sweeping across the softly breathing stage.
Screaming microphones, booming speakers and crazy cameras.
Singing, dancing and rehearsing on centre stage.
People’s stomachs flipping while waiting backstage.
Burning heat coming from the burning spotlights.
Lights, camera, ACTION!
Here she is, it’s Ratsy!

Terrific tree climbing

My mission is to be able to do what ever a monkey can do.
I have 60 minutes to complete the task and get ready for the test.

It was the 2nd of March 2009, It was the second day of room 10’s Hanmer Camp. At around 8:00 am, Group B went tree climbing

First our instructor- Carl, explained how to put on a harness and choose a good size helmet. So I grabbed a harness and put it on.

Carl explained the rules about tree climbing.

1. Scratch your nose, Don’t pick it.
2. Yell “free chocolate” if you want to be checked.
3. Yell “bananas” when you have reached the top.
4. That there was a group of three that pulled in all the extra ropes.

Carl said “Girls stay at this tree and boys go to the other tree.

Finally it was my turn on the first tree. I got clipped in and yelled
“free chocolate!” once I was checked I started to climb the tree.
Then I got to the top said “Bananas!” to come down.

Once everyone had a go the boys and the girls swapped trees.

I was first on this tree, I got clipped in and got checked. Then I started to climb. I had no trouble climbing, until about half way through. I was in a bit of a problem but I used my brain and I put left leg up on the branch behind me to jump off. And before you know it I was at the top. Ready to come down.

I started to wait to have a go on the second hardest tree. But then I thought about doing the hardest one so I went for it!

I kept climbing and climbing, stopping every now and then for a rest. But at one point I couldn’t reach a single branch aProxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cache-Control: max-age=0

I was so close to the top.

I still came down, with a whole different experience in my body. I was more excited than ever! And the test was all about how much fun I could have!
