Wacky Commonwealth Games.

On Friday the 19th of September the senior syndicate at Vardon school had their own Commonwealth games but it was  a wacky commonwealth games. Our Wacky Commonwealth Games was filled with weird games. Their was 4 wacky games I got into one of them it was the wheelbarrow race with Dakota. On Friday we had to try and wear clothes that went with our country. Room 13's country was Canada. We found Canada quite easy because all the other country's that the other class's had were country's that a lot of us didn't know. After every race if you came 3rd 2nd or 1st you got a medal.

I really enjoyed the wacky Comonwealth Games and I hope the next Commonwealth Games we can do it again.

 

Swim Safe

For the past week our class went to water world. The teachers their were Chris Grace and Barbara. I was in Grace's  group with my friend Megan and my other friend Susanna was in Chris's group. Everyone in our class had a great time. Grace's group got to go on the diving boards. their was 4 levels I went on all 4 of them. Jumping off the diving boards was lots of fun and a big thank you to the teachers that helped us learn new swimming skills.

Senior Cross Country

On the 29th of August 2014 the senior syndicate had their cross country. The senior cross country took place at Minogue Park. For cross country I was in the 10 year old girls race. In my race we had to do two laps. I thought cross country was very hard but I came 5th. I got into Inter school's which is tomorrow and I think it's going to be heaps of fun!

Goals that I want to achieve by the end of the year are...

My goals I want to achieve by the end of the year are that I try my best in cross country and to make improvements in my reading.

trip to the observartory

On Wednesday 18 June the senior  syndicate when to the observatory.
The observatory  was next to the zoo. At the observatory we meet space Dave. Space Dave's real name is Dave . At the observatory we all got to look at Mars and Saturn in his telescope.

 2 things I learnt

* 1: I learnt that when you go to space you will find that space is a  different time to earth.
* 2: I learnt that planets that no one has discovered are labelled in alphabet order.

A question I did not ask space Dave is:

How long would it take if you toke off your oxygen?

Sadness

What's sadness?

when family or friends die 

crying sad voices

visiting my nana at her grave

feeling lonely

getting hurt

being bullied

going to the hospital

my peom

I wish I could fly high up to the sky and flutter all around so I could see the world.

I wish I was a millionaire so that I could go to to all the places I wanted to go.

I wish I was invisible so that I could do anything.

I wish I could sing like Taylor Swift or maybe even Jamie Mcdell.

I wish I could see my nana again and dance with her to Mama Mia one more time.

I wish I was a famous person that walked down the red carpet so I could wear a beautiful dress that you could notice far away in the wind .

I wish I was me the way I am now and do the things I do. Because all I want to be is me.

I wish

I wish I was a butterfly that could fly to say hi.

I wish I was a clown and had a red nose that squeaked all around.

I wish I was an elaphant that stamped on the ground and made lots of noise.

I wish I was a astronaut that floated up and down.

I wish I was a shoe that could tie myself so I wouldn't fall down.

But most of all I wish I was me the way I am now.

ANZACS

ANZAC's are Australian and New Zealand Army Corp's.

They are men and women. They are armed with artillery.

The ANZAC's are found in Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey.

The ANZAC's hid in trenches and fought so we can live freely. They also eat delicious ANZAC biscuits.




My sketch of me

In room 13 our class has made sketches of ourselves. First we looked in a mirror at our faces and looked at all the details. After that we started to sketch in our art book. Once you had finished sketching in your art book you go on to sketching on a big white peace of paper. Then once you have finished sketching on the piece of paper you start making a frame underneath. Next you make hands just like yours around the frame. Then when you have finished everything your teacher will glue the photo of you in the middle of the frame.

                         hope you enjoy reading about how I  sketched myself because I had a great time!

Me and my best friends

Swimming Sports

On Wednesday 5th March 2014 our class Room 13 and the rest of the Senior syndicate went to swimming at Waterworld - it was so much fun!  I went in the widths flutter board races for more points for my team Batten.  I also went in breast stroke and the class relay. We came 2nd against Room 12.  That was the best thing about Swimming Sports for me.  I liked swimming sports because the water was warm and we got to go in the out side pool afterwards.  But it was freezing out there so I went swimming for awhile then I quickly jump out and got changed. Next year I want to do lengths in breast stroke.
