Weekend Journal

After school on Saterday, Mum Tara and I left to go to Christchurch for the Canterbury Champs. The Canterbury Champs is a showjumping 3 day event held at Mcleans Island, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I entered my two ponies, Skippy and Cricket In the 60 to 70cm showjumping on the two day Saturday and Sunday, and a novelty event that was the pony mini grand prix that was a little bit bigger than 80cm high, and the spreads were about 80cm wide. It was a speed round of 13 jumps. I got 3rd in that and I was thrilled. It was by far my favourite weekend.

Weekend Journal

On the weekend on Saturday, we had nothing on until the 5:00 for a horse lesson so we had a chill out day for once. Then at 5:00 we went into Greymouth pony club and my oldest sister Brydie gave me a lesson. The lesson involved jumping strategies, and getting my confidence up. On Sunday I did the New World Coast Kids Triathlon with my friend Tylar. I did the 200 metre swim, and Tylar did the 8 k bike and 1.5 k run. We had heaps of fun, and at the end we got a medal, a drink bottles. I had heaps of fun and I hope to do the next triathlon next year.

Science Road Show Reflection

On the 14th of March Ruma J went for a 35 minute drive to Grey High for a Science Road Show. It was supported by Science Alive!  and Ministry of Education. In the first show they talked about liquid nitrogen and dry ice. They got a flower and dipped it in the cup of liquid nitrogen. The host pulled it out again and all the petals started to shatter all around the table. That was my favorite of the 1st show. We stayed there for 2 shows. I enjoyed the 2nd show the best. The Road show hosts looked at 1 drop of pond water under a microscope and little tiny bugs were creeping around in the water. But from our eyes it was just 1 drop of clean water! Between the 2 shows we saw we had a 30 minute break to look at lots of little exhibits around the room. My favourite one was looking under a huge microscope and seeing lots of little samples of interesting items. The downside I had that there were lots of people and it was hard to see all of the exhibits I wanted to. I had a really fun time and I'm looking forward to seeing it again!

Bowl A Fact

Mar 8, 2017 10:01:56 AM.jpg

For this sessions maths learning we did bowl a fact. I got quite a lot of numbers but it was quite tricky for me. I look forward to doing this again and getting better at it.
