electives!

this term I chose drama as my elective. we play lots of games and act plays. it is a heap of fun and I get to meet more people. the first weeks have gone really well. since I play with the little kids at lunch time I know most of them and so I look after them. I have learnt that drama is all about acting and making fun your self. it is lots of fun and yes it was what I had expected. I will try my hardest to help Miss Bolger (my teacher) so that lots of fun is ahead for the kids.
see you next time,
Lottie

Castle Building!

hello! last week the 3 senior classes made castle models as part of our maths. My group had me and two year 7s. We made a awesome castle, we even had a dragon circling around one of the towers. Our group had flower vines on the rock walls and a big wooden door. I think that we worked very well together and we did great team work to get it done in time. we made our decisions that all the walls would be matching to the round turrets, and that the square towers would be plain grey. we had a little problem that sometimes people would want to do something else in stead of helping the rest of the group but we managed to convince them to help us. Something that made our castle a little bit above the rest in our class was that I brought in some play mobile figures so that it looked much better.
See you next week!

This castle looks a little like my groups, I did my best!

3rd place!!

on Tuesday St Benedict's did their cross country. We went down to Nairnville and ran 2 km. it was a hard race and the trick I have is to only jog at the start and to keep on running the whole way. I came 3rd place and I am now into the northern zones. I enjoy cross country a little but I would not like to do it as a sport. I am very nervous and excited about northern zones. it is going to be fun for I am going will some of my friends. the race was out of 13 people and so it was really fun. I made sure that I encouraged people as I was running and I think that I persevered the whole way.

I hope you all have a great week,

hello, I hope you have all had a fantastic holiday. My favourite book that I have read in the holidays is a book called 'happily ever Ivy' it is set in the middleages and their is a young girl called Ivy, and she has a devoting father that loves her and a maid who worrys about everything. Her mother died when she was a child and her fairy godmother has gone astray. Ivy then is sent to a tower on her 14th birthday that is being guarded by a dragon, whatever prince kills the dragon gets to be queen and gets the princesses hand of marrige. Ivy does not want to be locked up in this tower and the dragon does not want to be slain, so they set out on an adventure together. It is a trulely magical book, read it if you can.
Hope you have a great week,
Lottie.
