2016-08-13 Avon Descent, One Big Voice, Interschool Cross Country!
Clara: I was soooo nervous about the Interschool Cross Country. Last year I came second, but me and Daddy have trained hard and went on a few 6km runs together - they were hard, but I really enjoyed them, especially when it was raining. This year there were around 7 schools competing.
The race was at the same place - MacDonald Reserve in Padbury, and Mummy managed to get some time off to watch too! The race started off really fast, perhaps because we only had to run 1km. I managed to make my way through the field and I was second place when we got to half way. I felt good, so I overtook Skye who I competed against in the sprints and field events. I managed to maintain my lead right up until the end, and I won by around 15 metres to spare - I was tired, but pretty relieved that I managed to win this year!
Everyone at Edgewater managed to run well, but we were a man down, so we missed out on some points. We managed to get third as a team, and 5th overall for our school. Last year we came first as a school, which was amazing. Maybe next year.
I was also in the choir for One Big Voice, an event with over 3000 students performing at Perth Arena. It was amazing to sing in such an amazing venue. We were there from 1pm, and we got to practice with the other schools until the show started at 6pm. There were people there from Australia's Got Talent too, one went to Mummy's school! It was a really fun night, and we went to our favourite chinese restaurant after!
Aiysha: I played my first quarter of a game today for 10 weeks! It was against Sorrento, and I scored a couple, but really my shooting was bad.
The Olympics are on in Rio at the moment, and I love them - gymnastics, rugby, and now track and field!
We had a really funny time at the Avon Descent - watching capsizing boats, donuts, going for a big walk, and even throwing the rugby ball in the river for a boat to collect for us! Funny!
C: Is it the end of Winter yet?
S: Looking forward to Summer now!
