Fete!!

Hey,
Yesterday was our school fete. We usually have a production and a fete but this year we had some performances at the fete from each grade. It was called rock throughout the ages! Our class was the 1980's. We sung thriller, we will rock you and we are together! We had good make-up and costumes to suit all of the songs. It worked out really well and the audience seemed to enjoy it! At the fete we had rides and different games and lots of stalls. We had the combat challenge, mini golf, a junior jumping castle and a dunking machine. We got heaps of the teacher saturated, it was really funny!! We also had candy floss and popcorn and snow cones stalls. My friend Steph had 5 things of candy floss and her teeth went pink. There were also all different stalls and lucky cups filled with toys or lollies and chocolate. There was a trash and treasure and a silent auction plus a normal auction! It was really fun and my friend got a tattoo!! It was a great day and a good way to end the week!!

Camp

Hello!
About a week ago I arrived back home from a very tiring camp. We went down to the beach and stayed at the nearby scout camp! Although it was very fun everyone was tired out by the end of the 5 days. On Monday we got our stuff put on the bus and drove down to our camp. It took about 2 hours to get there.
 When we did arrive we put up or tents, got out our bags and lay down our sleeping bags. That day we also went down to the beach just to see what it was like! It was great. Over the days we went to the beach and played some games down there. We went on a great long hike for a few hours and afterwards relaxed a bit down at the beach. We also visited a light house and explored the rock pools and right off the edge we found a seal!! The seaweed was everywhere and it was called Neptune necklace. 
We also went to a rope course and had a time challenge and went to another place called challenge valley with all sorts of different activities to do outside! We were very lucky with the weather but one night there was a bit of a storm but everyone lasted through it! The toilets were awful because they were drop dunnies but the showers were great with nice hot water! 
All the things we did were really fun and on the hike there was a shoe cleaning place because the people who own the area didn't want a certain fungus to be spread! We also crossed a tiger snake breeding ground and walked along the cliffs. It was fantastic considering we had missed out on our other camp but that made up for it. 
We were going to go to another beach but that got flooded out earlier in the year and wasn't going to be a very pleasant trip! That was the first time out school has ever gone to that beach and we all enjoyed it. 

Athletics

Hi,
As you may remember me saying about my districts athletics and moving up to the next level, I did, if you haven't read it you may want to see it first and then come back to this. Click Here To Go To Link. Anyway I went down and it was great, hot weather but really fun. I caught the bus down there and arrived just on time. My event was second of the day at 9:45, it didn't go for too long but I was in triple jump and there were alot if girls also competing against me. I cam 4th out of about 20 girls. You would only move on to the next level if you came 1st or 2nd, and I didn't but some of my friends from the other school did. There was a canteen there and I got some things, it was a very hot day. Even though I thought I had put on sun screen it appeared that I was wrong, It was great fun and a long day!!

Catching Up

Over Flowing

Hi,

Parsley

There hasn't been too much going on around my house but I thought I could just write a post about how everything is going. 

Veggie  Gardens: What is there to tell except that they're huge and we are getting alot of use out of them! They're very tall now and some are over flowing our space  for them!! The pics be   easier to see. 

School: At School I have to make a musical instrument for music class, I looked at 4 different ones and two were actually new instruments. I looked at a tambourine because it would be reasonably easy and able to be decorated, a pan flute because it has a good sound and would be fun to make and then the two made up ones. First was based on a set of newton balls which is a frame with balls hanging, you pull the end and the energy travels through the rest and causes the end one to glide through the air and back down knocking the last one over and over again. So I thought if I extended the frames and hung keys of pipe to make chimes on either end, that when you pull the newton balls it would hit the chimes and make a noise. The second made up one, was to attach bells on a pan flute so you could still blow through it and also jiggle it around like a tambourine! In the end I chose a tambourine!

Busy With Sleepovers

Hi,
Well that was a busy time. I have had two sleepovers in a row. First was with my grandma, and then with my friend. At my grandma's house I had fun and we had ravioli for dinner. The next day we went shopping for our Christmas presents, even though it's a little early! We thought that before all the super Christmastime presents came in we would go and chose our presents now and at Christmas we would get them! Then that day I went to my friends house and we watched some movies, we watched, Mean Girls 2 which was funny and Yours, Mine and Ours which was also funny. It was about 2 people a, who wanted to get married and each one had kids. The girl had 10 and the man had 8. They ended up with 18 fighting kids. They fought so much to break up their new parents but as soon as the Dad needs to leave for a military ship they decide they should be a family and the dad leaves his ship to come home! The day after we went down and played outside and then walked around the local street!
