Aiysha: I was sent a letter home saying I was going to receive a certificate in assembly, but had no idea what it was for! Mummy and Daddy said it could be for a number of things - running, reading, writing, but they also had no idea. When it was our assembly, we had to watch Liam's assembly (Liam is my friend in year 7), and then they announced my certficate - 35 laps of the oval! Not many people got that - Tristam got one aswell, and we were so proud. Mummy, Daddy and Clogger were there to cheer!
A week later, we had our school carnival - my blue faction won it last year, and I was so excited! Mummy, Daddy and Clogger were there in the afternoon to cheer me on. My race was at 1pm, and it was after the pre-Primary races. I was racing against Martina and Lauren. I didn't have the best start, but once I got going, I caught Lauren up, which had a great start, and by the end, I was about 5 meters in front of everyone! I was so happy! Daddy filmed it, and everyone in blue faction congratulated me. Liam told everyone about me too! Aimee came second, Martina came 3rd and Lauren came 4th. A few weeks ago Martina asked me to let her win in a race, and I didn't, as it was a bit mean of her to ask. I made sure I ran faster this time! I think she may have learnt from that.
In the Grand Relay, I made up a lot of ground too, and won my part of the race. Blue faction won the Grand Relay, but unfortunately, we did not win the whole carnival - green faction won it. But I got 2 1st ribbons, so I was pretty happy!
Mummy and Daddy were so proud, that we watched my race over and over when we got home. I also got to choose dinner, so we went out to Macdonalds! It was really funny - I had chicken nuggets, clogger had some chips, and Mummy and Daddy had burgers - not as nice as the ones we make at home!
Last weekend we went to a few garage sales. One garage sale, I bought a pendulum and some books for $2, and on the way out, found $3 on the floor! Brilliant! I was so happy, and we all had a laugh about it on way home...we need to go to more sales like that!
Daddy and I started to play some basketball on the veranda, but soon it was too small, as I was getting them in from everywhere, so we had to move it to the pool area, and that was harder, as I was so far away! Daddy was very surprised at how accurate I was, and he was teaching me about how to hold the ball, body position, throw the ball high, and try and give the ball a backspin - it all worked, and it was fun!
I spent all week making Father's Day cards and presents for Daddy - I made him so happy because I made him at least 10 presents! It was such a funny day! We tried to go strawberry picking, but it was closed, so we went to Burns Beach park, and we had a big game of catch with some other kids and Daddy! It was fun!
Clogger: Carnival day is a crazy day! I love it! I'm going to run faster than Aiysha when I am six!
C: Even when we were training, Aiysha was beating me! Not fair!
S: How proud are we?! The best Father's Day present of all!
