My Weekend Journal!
On Saturday Mum, Tara and I woke up early to go to Christchurch for my first ODE for the season. This time, instead of doing 65cm, I decided to push myself to do 80cm. We got their the night before and we did some cross country training near the event, and got Skippy shod at the same time. Once we had finished training, we drove to the place the ODE was held, and started walking my courses and plaiting Skippy up for the dressage. The next day we had a tiny bit of a sleep-in and we got up at 7:30, my dressage was at 12:00pm. whilst we waited I went and walked my courses again, and grazed Skip. Overall, My dressage went really well, and I got a pretty good score too. Next it was showjumping, and I got clear which was really good too! Next it was the hardest part, the cross country. Unfortunately Skippy wasn't in her rhythm when we started, so we had a stop at fence number one. It went great until fence number 10, which was a corner, and she swerved out of that one too. But, we came back into it and she jumped it great. Overall I had three stops out of 21 jumps, and I think that I did really well, because it was quite a hard course compared to the little 65's I'm used to. I can't wait to go again!

Refugee Reading Task: The Great White Shark
GREAT WHITE SHARK RESEARCH
The Great White Shark has a distinctive white stomach and a grey-blue top half of their body. They can live up to 70 or more years, just like a human. The biggest of the Great Whites can grow up to 20 feet, or about 6 metres, but most are smaller. Female Great Whites are longer than the males, measuring up to about 15-16 feet long. They are mostly mistaken for the Mako shark, Porbeagle or the Bronze Whaler. It is illegal in New Zealand to trade in Great White products, and also illegal to take or harm these creatures, and the must be returned to the ocean immediately. Young Great Whites eat smaller prey, including fish, rays, or other sharks. Older Great Whites go for larger meals, like Sea Lions, Seals, otters, sea turtles and whales, such as Belugas. Great Whites swallow their food, as they do not chew. They are ranked #1 on the deadliest sharks to humans, and there is around 80 unprovoked attacks to humans per year.
I used this website here to get most of my information.

Refugee Reading Creation:
This week for one of my reading creations Bridget, Cameron, Eden and I did a video of Josef's dad jumping off the St Louis and people screaming man overboard, with Josef desperately trying to catch up with his father. I did this creation with my classmates, Eden, Cameron and Bridget. I was the camera-man and the editor for this creation!
