Camp.

This week I went on camp. I went to the Lakes and it rained almost everyday. We did things that involved team work and we canoed up to the Lake Head Hut, we slept under the fly Tuesday night and it rained. I had to carry cheese and crackers and biscuits in my pack which we ate on the tramp back. We had to walk through swollen rivers by being in teams and linking arms. A possum crawled into the girls shelter and made them scream. Went white water rafting and it was really cool and heaps of fun. It snowed Thursday night on the mountains.

My new fish

For ICL at school today we were doing blogs. As I already have a blog, i got creative and put some fish on it which have to be feed and I also joined my brothers to mine as well.

Mountain Biking

At school for one of my modules I am doing Mountain Biking. It's really fun and each week we go to different places. Also at school for my technology this term I am learning to sew. Next tech will be cooking. I enjoy the cooking, cause not only do you get to eat the end result but it's quick and easy dishes. Last week we had our winter tournament. Some schools were local and some we billeted. I didn't do anything this year. As it's winter at the moment we have all had colds so can't wait for the summer months.

swimming sports

Today we had our swimming sports and i got 4th in my race, freestyle one length year 8 boys. I was also in the relay team and we did quite well.
i have had a lot of homework since starting school.

Lilly's lamb

Today my pet lamb Lilly had her very first lamb. Shes not to sure what to do with it but i think she will be ok. At the moment she would rather have something to eat. After tea we will go and check on her and get her ready for bed. The lamb is a girl.

my cousins

Last weekend our cousins came to stay. We went over to the creek and built some huts in the long grass. We cut some branches off the willow trees and made bows and arrows using sticks and string(from the bails of hay) and even made a slingshot. We ate lots of chocolate and lollies while we were over there. I hope they can come and stay again before school starts.

Winter tornaments sports

On Thursday and Friday we had our winter sports. There were heaps of different schools egWestport, Blenheim. I didn't do any sports because I was helping with the cooking, for all the coaches and teachers. We made pizzas, soup and chelsea buns. It was really fun.
