2015-06-13 Back To The Sediment, The Most Exciting Race Ever!

C: We had our faction cross country carnival on Thursday, and I was so nervous as there are so many good runners! Everyone started so fast, and I tried hard to keep up by staying around 5th, and eventually I managed to get into 1st place and stay there. By the second lap though I was really tired, and I noticed Bridie and Aiva started catching me up. I had about 200m to go, and I was running down the hill, and at the bottom for some reason I tripped and fell over! Bridie overtook me, and I quickly got to my feet but I was about 10 metres behind, I tried to hard to catch up, and with about 50m to go I managed to pull up along side her and overtake her in the last 20m, and won the race - phew! I was sooooooo tired I could hardly stand up. Bridie ran an excellent race though, and really surprised me. It was a great race, and so exciting!

I also had a Gail Meade viewing - see my video below!

A: Last week I had to do an assignment about The Rock Cycle. We were suppose to write a song to music describing the rock cycle and the conservation of energy. Last weekend I found it so hard, and didn't know how I was going to do it. However, Dad wanted to make a song, so I chose rap. We started with a tempo and some beats, then we came up with some lyrics about rocks, divided the lyrics into sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic, and mixed it all in with some singing from me and Roxy. It actually turned out to be really fun. We then started thinking of ideas for the video, and they started to be really funny.

Had my second game at netball - I played centre for 2 quarters. It was fun for the first quarter, but my back started hurting in the second quarter. We lost 44-29, it was okay, but a pretty frustrating game.

I went to the TACT dinner last week, and it was fun.

I went to see Casey's grading on Sunday and went out Saturday night for dinner with Indy and Kiera.

C: I got offered a permanent position! Wahoo! I can't believe it!

S: What a race! It was amazing! Well done Rocky Roo!

2015-06-03 TACT Netball Tournament!

Aiysha: Last weekend was a long weekend because of Foundation Day. I finally managed to get my back feeling good enough to try a game of Netball. I went to practice last Monday, and Stephanie told me to take it easy, but actually I decided to play all the games! Amazingly my back was okay the next day even though it was tired that evening. I was so excited to be able to play.

On the Saturday, we had 2 games, and we won both of them. I played one half of the first game, and decided not to play the second game as it looked pretty intense and I felt my back. I didn't feel it on Sunday though, and felt great. We had 3 games - we lost the first one, just, won the last one, and only just lost the second one. I played the first and second game

On Monday, I went on for the whole game as GS, and really enjoyed it! Me and Georgia played really well.

Our team was: Georgia (C), Hayley (GS), Tipania, Tenae, Kimberley, Sienna, Zoe, Mckenzie, Caitlyn and myself. It was such a great team to be a part of, and my coach Karolyn was brilliant!

Clara: We did lots of shooting practice at Aiysha's tournament, and I ended up beating Daddy at all the shooting games!

S: No you didn't! Awesome games Paishy! Well done!

C: Yes she did! You played so well Paish! Proud of you!

2015-05-17 Mothers Day + My Netball Games + Book for Daddy!

Aiysha: Last weekend we celebrated Mothers Day by taking Mummy back to the Swan Valley to play Supa Golf! It was really funny, as it seemed like it was on a real golf course, and we had big clubs and big balls, and we could hit the balls as far as we could! It was really funny, as we were not actually that good, and our balls sometimes ended up on other holes, and almost hitting someone! We all had fun though, and it was a lovely day. Roxy won it, followed by Daddy, Aiysha and Mummy.

We have Mummy presents in the morning. We got her some flowers, a plant to grow herself, some lovely body lotion and Clara made her a card!

Clara: I have really enjoyed playing netball in my new team! We have had three games already and only won one, but it has been really good fun.

We had such fun on Mothers Day, and I really enjoyed the ice cream afterwards :-)

I spent all week creating a book for Daddy ready to present to him. I did it all on his computer, and he loved it!

C: Winter is here, big time! We have had some crazy storms this weekend, and we have had our first fires! Brrrrr....

S: Clara wrote me the loveliest book about me and presented it with a couple of pictures - it was brilliant! Thank you Clara! You are awesome!
