This week In class, we have been writing an explanation-instructional piece of writing. We got to choose what we wrote on, so I decided to do how to be a good equestrian. I am very proud on how much I achieved. My creation that I decided to do, is reading it aloud in the video above. I hope you enjoy my writing!

My Weekend Journal!

On Saturday, It was also my golden retriever Shadow's third birthday so we gave him a big yummy treat. Also that day, Mum, Tara and I woke up early to go to Westport for some Cross Country training. We went there for about the whole day and it was really worth while. I have gained lots of confidence and I'm super excited to do some more eventing! On Sunday it wasn't the best of weather, so we didn't do too much that day. I had a great weekend and I can't wait for my next horse event!

Weekend Journal!

On Saturday, I climbed my first mountain, Mt Te Kinga. I went with my brother, and my dog, Shadow. It was heaps of fun and the lookouts were amazing. The further we got up, the more challenging it was. We got up to about the forth lookout, fifth being at the top, and we decided that we would go back, as I was quite tired! Next time it is a sunny weekend, my brother, Shadow and I are going to climb up again but to the top this time! On Sunday, we opened our Easter eggs and we relaxed at home. Mum, Shadow, Tara and I went for a bike ride through Moana, and the cars and boats there were packed full. There was a lot of people there, and a lot of people were in the lake. We passed a couple of people when we went through the bush walks. On Monday, I rode Skippy for the first time in about two weeks. I had heaps of fun and I think she did too! The rest of the weekend I didn't do too much, but I watched a couple of movies with Tara.
