2015-06-27 We made history! I am a teenager!

Clara: Amazing - we made history by winning the Interschool cross country! It was such an amazing feeling, and when we realised, the whole school went crazy! When we arrived back, the whole school was out of class celebrating on the lawn with musical instruments and everything! Mr Gray rang Daddy especially to tell him - Daddy could not believe it!

It was a good day for everyone at Edgewater.

In other news, I ran a really good race and came second to someone who does little athletics, and our year came first! We got a trophy, and our picture got put in the school newsletter.

We tried a new fish an chips place along the coast - apparently one of the best in WA! It was nice though :-)

Aiysha: I had my party at bounce - I invited Casey, Clara, Aaliyah, Violana and Sophie (who came later). Bounce was great fun, although we didn't do too well on the dodge ball. Us big girls then went to Hillary's for dinner where we tried to chat to a good looking guy at Boost! Rejected!

We came back for a sleepover in the games room, and finally got to sleep at around 12am. Not bad, but it was great fun!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to watch Casey at her Karate grading - she was doing it with a dislocated elbow, but she was so brave she got through it all, and managed it! Well done Casey! Don't think I would like to do it though...scary stuff!

C: Great party, great bunch of girls!

S: I'm not great at dodge ball :-(

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.

Watch the video below!

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!

2015-05-08 Bush Walk

We went for a picnic and bush walk at Walyunga National Park near Bullsbrook. We had a lovely picnic and played a funny game throwing a ball on the roof of the picnic area and catching it. It got stuck a few times though. We went for a walk along the river, which was lovely, and we spotted some kangaroos. We got to listen to our audiobook though, which was fun.

2015-05-02 My First Netball Game, House Carnival & States

Aiysha: Last week I injured my back - funnily enough the same as Daddy, and we've been seeing a physio, but unfortunately I injured it again the day before States at the house comp. I won my sprint though that I have been training all year for! The relay injured my back again, and I was pretty sad about that.

At States my back really hurt, and I was so disappointed. I ended up only doing bars, but is the first comp I have done with a giant and really proud of the score considering my pain!

Clara: I had my first netball game for Wanneroo Rebels today! We won 8-4 and was really fun! I had so much fun, and I think we have a pretty cool team. It was nice to play with Aaliyah too!

C: Well done Paish considering your injury - you will come back stronger!

S: Amazing race Aiysh, and great bars! You have time to recover and get it sorted for netball and the next comp.

2015-04-27 Mummy's Crazy Birthday! Burning Fruit in Augusta!

Clara: We planned Mummy's birthday to go and do the Swan Valley Chase - a treasure hunt at several places around the Swan Valley. It was a complete surprise to Mummy, and was really good fun. There were 10 clues we had to get, and Aiysha and I had to direct Mummy and Daddy to the places to find clues and also to have sneaky snacks along the way. We started at around 11, and finished late in the afternoon. It was so much fun!

We had a lovely winery lunch at Edgecombe Brothers, and a lovely tea, cakes and scones at Cottage Tea Rooms!

We didn't get to do everything we wanted, but it was a funny day, and Mummy really enjoyed it.

Aiysha: Mummy's birthday was good fun! I loved the chase and finding all the clues. Happy birthday Mummy!

C: It was such a funny day! Thank you guys!

S: Good planning was key! Well done!

Julz and I took the Burninf Fruit team - Connor and Amanda - down to Augusta for a 3 day training session, which was amazing. All in all we touched on 12 projects, did our pitches for our ideas (with the BF website coming top), for started on the BF website with design, animations and functionality, and did a lot of bouncing of ideas and project work. We managed to get some down time at the Margaret River Pro, watched a film, played some games, and played some hardcore music. It was such a fun 3 days, where work did not feel like work. Can't wait for the next one.

2015-04-15 Girls Trip To Bunbury!

We went to Bunbury with Lizzie and Bella, and left Daddy behind - poor Daddy!

We went to lots of nice wineries and had lots of good food. We fed the animals on the farm and had a trampoline where we stayed. Roxy and Mummy played tennis on the tennis courts, and did lots of walks in the forest. We went on pony and tractor rides, and Mummy went on one that broke down, and she had to walk all the way home - unlike some passengers who phoned for transport! Lazy! Mummy went canoeing on the river, which was really nice.
