Next year

Hi everybody!
This week we were told to write about what we felt about next year as a year 8 or in college.

As a year 7, next year I will be a year 8. There are many things that I am looking forward to next year like playing against the future year 7's and sitting on the chairs during assembly. I think being a year 8 nextyear will be a fun experience because we will be the oldest in the school.

There are also some challenges when I become a year 8. For me, I think camp would be a challenge, as some of the activities sound like they're going to push me out of my comfort zone. It is also my last year at school which I'm not sure if I'll be happy or sad about.

Since it will be my last year at school, I will probably try to do my best in everything. I'll try to get in to the finals for speeches, science fair, athletics etc.

That's all for now people of the word!
See you next time on my blog!

Book week

Hello and welcome back to my blog!

Last week was book week and it was really fun.

Here is a little bit out my 3 favourite things I enjoyed about the week.

The book character parade:

It was fun watching everyone in their costumes walking around. Everyone was very creative. My costume was one of the army figurines from toy story. Mahon was a gladiator from the book: horrible histories.

The Kate De Goldi visit:

On one of the days Kate De Goldi visited our school to talk to us about her books and about her childhood when she wrote a lot. Kate De Goldi has made lots of books. My favourite is probably the ACB.

The book character quiz:

The book character quiz was held on the last day. The groups were set in year  groups with different difficulties for the questions. In the end the Brigidine groups won.


That's all for now folks!
See you next time on my blog!

Flick the Fire Engine

Hi guys!
This week were told to write about a book we liked as a kid. I liked......


Flick the Little Fire Engine is a book about a little red fire engine who wants to fight fires more than anything in the world but can't because the other fire engines say that he is too small. One day the other fire engines are having trouble with a big fire. Flick rushes to help and saves the day! I think I liked this book because of its story line and the song.


That's all for today folks!
See you next time on my blog!

AFL

This term so far we have been taught some skills to do with AFL.
Some tips I leant were:

Arrow arms-keep your arms straight when dropping the ball

X's up and down-make sure the "X's" at the top and bottom of the ball face up and down

laces away from faces-make sure laces are away from faces

All of these things help you with doing good kicks.

In AFL kicking is used for scoring and passing.
