Teachers strike

A few weeks ago the teachers had a strike.

The reason why there was a teacher strike. Was that the teachers didn't like it how they had 60% of paper work and 40% teaching. They wanted this to change this because, they wanted to have more time with us, instead of a lot of paper work to do. All the student at primary school had the day of and so did the teachers.

What did you do on the day of the teacher strike?

Would you like to have more paper work or more teaching?

Caritas Challenge 2018 ( Timor-Leste )

May the 18th was the day that my hub did the Caritas challenge.

We arrived to school in mufti, with our over night bags. Some of us was staying the night and other weren't, it was about half and half. We all put are over night bags in the break out space. After that we all called the roll we did Mass. I was one of the Altar Servers. After mass it was morning tea time.

When it was morning tea, I was playing a netball game with my friends ( I thing soccer is better ) and we got asked to carry some cardboard boxes. Not long  after that it was time for us to go inside and eat. After eating, the hole school went to an assembly about bullying, we had a meeting with the city mission, he was talking to us about the homeless in our city and kids are age don't have a home.


Lunch time came fast. But it all so ended quick for me because I was in the sweat it group, for our second hand market. That people from our school gave in things they didn't want any more that we could still sell. The price that the things could be sold for is $1 $2 $3.

 It took us a long time to sorter every thing out. By the time everyone else was doing the move it challenge. After we all set up it was time for the parents to come in. We had lots and  loots of books to sell that were $1, there was some jewellery that was for a lucky dip for one dollar but that turn to be what ever you wanted to get, toys, broad games. We made about a bit over $100.

After the sweat it market we got told our groups, I was put in a group with my friends and we started to build our hut to stay the night in, Our hut was a triangle shape, for the door we made it like one of the cat flaps. We put are bags in our huts and got changed in to warmer cloths.

 It was tea time, my Mum helped cook the rice we were having for tea. We got given one cup of rice to have for tea, just plane old rice. After tea we were getting ready to play some games, two of my friends had water polo, when the games started. The first game we had we go home stay home, that game was okay, we did hide and seak, last spot light.

 After the games it was time to do the reflection of the day, it was a bit hard for me since I was tired, from the big day. By the time we got changed in to all our layers and put a thin yoga mat to sleep on it was 9:30, no time to chat. in our hut I was sleeping next to the door, Tamera had put this light up that said her name, so we could have light and see. When I was about to drop of to sleep two of my friends came back from water polo it took them a bit to set up there sleeping bags. in the night my feet were sticking out the door when I woke up in the morning. My back was all sore and I woke up a few times in the night.

In the morning we had bread with butter for breakfast. We smashed are boxes apart and mad a pile of them to go to the dump soon I went home and got ready to play soccer.

Me in the market. I'm the one in the blue shirt.

Zones

16.5.18
Zones
Zones was a miserable day.  We left school around lunch time. When we arrived it was pouring down with rain, every one had to where a jacket or a jersey but I had both on. 

The people in charge lead us around the trace once. It wasn't straight, we had to go in to trees, there was even this bridge we had to go a cross which I found very slippery.

 My age group had to do three laps around this track, it was about 3.k. At first I didn't think that was much but it was. I was the 6th group to go. It was year 8 boys first then the girls, year 6. Then my year.

I thought that going 6th wouldn't be a long wait in the rain. But it was, considering I was third to last race. When it was are turn, we lined up in our schools in a line of places we came. So I was third in line.

They told us to get ready. Then I hear the wood slapping aganset it self. I sprint with all the other girls, I started to slow down a bit in to a fast jog, I could fell my self losing breath so I go to my normal pace. I was behind Kayla and Claudia was behind me also Casey was about four people in front of us. I got tired on the second lap. I slowed down a lot when I got up to the brig I went slower, I didn't wan't to fall over. Nere the end Claudia was right be hind me so I sprinted as fast as I could.

I got 11th which is good, so I could be going to Centrals.

 Are you a fast runner ?

Cross Country 2018

Cross Country

Today we did Cross Country the 3 of May.
Our school walked down to Walter Park, to do the cross country.

 My year group was the forth group to run. We had to run three laps around the park. When it my year group to go we lined up getting ready to run. When it started every one sprinted, as I went straight into a jog. I saw one of my friends at the front in the lead, I was cumming close to last soon I passed a lot of people.

 My friend that was in the lead sadly she went to fast for her pace and slowed down. in the first minute or two I was cumming fifth, I was trying to over come the fourth place I was very close to caching up to her. Sometimes she would slow down and I would be in front of her for a second then she would come back in front of me.

 On the second lap I went in front of her I kept up my pace half way on the second lap I looked back to see if anyone was close behind me, no one was. I felt relived, now that I was cumming forth, not far up ahead I saw a few more people near they end of lap two and going on to there third.

On the third lap I started to catch up to them more, I passed one person which means I was cumming third place. When it was close to the end, I saw the person that was cumming second, I was almost out of breath. She finished about 30 seconds or 20 maybe even 15 seconds before me. When I was at they end I sprinted just to make shore no one was behind me. When I sprinted it was a light sprint because I was so tied.


Have you done Cross Country?
Are you a fast runner?
If you have done Cross Country what place did you come?

Since I came third in Cross Country I will be going to Zones and I will have to do more training. I hope I won't be sick on that day :)

One of my things I need to work on is, doing my blogs more often and work harder on them and remember to do them more. I also have to do my jobs for cleaning the windows. My last one is to get better at maths by doing times tables and also to do spelling at home. I also have a goal of get up early to get ready for school in the morning, so I don't sleep in.
