Bowl-A-Fact With Tess!

Today in my maths group, Pinky, we played bowl a fact. I think I did quite well but next time I'm going to try and get all ten. Here is my learning and working out.

Autobiography Creation!

We did this piece of art to get to know our classmates, since new people came into Ruma J this year. First we got a clear piece of paper, then started tracing our hands in different parts of the paper. next we ruled some lines in, then got to work painting all the different parts of our art. whilst we did all of this, we spent time writing our poems to suit our lives, what we are proud of, what we like and dislike and many more. Here is a video of me reading my poem. I hope you enjoy - hopefully learning new things about me!

Weekend Journal!

This weekend I had another horse event at Kokatahi PC. Tara and I were both entered in pony club classes and I had also entered in the showjumping, 75cm and 85cm. The morning went really well for me, but unfortunately Cricket Tara's pony went lame in one of his front legs and my pony Skippy was the suspect of kicking him in the paddock. Since Tara had to pull Cricket out of the pony club classes I was the only one in my family who was doing the event. Once I had finished the classes, Skippy stayed in the shade while I walked my showjumping course. Once it was time for me to hop on Skippy I walked her around with my friend and her horse and then started to properly work her in. When it was my turn to go and do my showjumping, I did the course over in my head one more time then the bell rang for me to start. I had gotten into the second round but unfortunately she dropped a rail in the jump off, but I came out with 4th place! In the 85cm I lost my way twice but fixed it up just in time, and I was really happy with the round and ended up coming 1st in the 85cm. When we had finished Mum called me over while the judge in my pony club ring was holding my pony. She presented me with a reserve champion ribbon and I was very pleased. After I had finished I asked my friends if they would like to come and have an ice cream with me so I hung out with them for a while and I had heaps of fun. I am very excited to do another event this weekend coming up. Hopefully I do well there too!

First Weekend Journal Of 2018!

My weekend was full of fun, Ferris wheels and horses. On Friday, I left school early to go to Reefton racecourse A&P show.  Tara and I were both entered, Tara was in the pony club classes and I was verseing her in them too, but also was doing the 70 and 80 showjumping. Our pony club classes went really well, I was beating Tara in some (most) and she bet me in a little. I got into the champion paced and mannered, and the competition was so amazing, I was in awe as some of them did the extended trot. I didn't get placed in my champion paced and mannered, but I am still very happy that I got the opportunity to get in and give it a go. As for the champion pony club class, Tara and I both got in! We both got champion, but Tara had Champion, and I got reserve champion. That means that Tara won the whole pony club class, and I got second to her. I had heaps of fun, and there was no poor sports between me and Tara - so now that means we can verse each more often which I'd love to do since it was heaps of fun! This was a great weekend I hope to do more A&P shows in the future!
