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.

3 things I have learned this year so far!

This year so far I have learned 3 important things.

No.1 I have learned that I can do whatever I believe in. that I just have to do it without thinking so that I do not over think it. Like how sometimes I think, Will the rope fail we? What if? What if?

No.2 I have gotten more confident around challenges inside the class room and outside the class room. I can do much more challenges that are thrown at me.

No.3  I am getting higher scores on my basic fats test. For  I have been practising very hard and I hae worked out  strategy that makes me go MUCH faster.


I have found that these skills that I have earned have improved my personality so much that I am differently a better person.
Have a fantastic week and see you next time! 1 more week of school!!

Happy Easter!

Easter was the best I have ever had!

Me and my family went to a hotel to have brunch. I met my new baby cousin Molly-Grace. I made cookies for all of the cousins. I also made boxes for the cookies to go in. I made bunny faces and eggs. they looked so awesome! the hotel that I went In had this awesome computer were you stood in front of it and it saw you moving and so the person on the computer would move. It was really interesting.

Have a fantastic week!

Camp

This week is our last week before the year 8s go on camp. It is going to be so fun! It is going to take 6 hours to drive to the camp. I am so glad that I am in a car with some of my friends other wise it would be a very boring car ride! I have all my gear ready and I am getting very excited about going there! It is going to be interesting what friends I come closer to and who will be my new friends. I am very nervous about bridge jumping, but we may not do it. This is going to be very exciting!




See you the week after the next!
