Weekend Journal

On the Saturday morning of the weekend Mum, Brydie, Tara ( my sisters ) and I went to Christchurch for a horse event. Brydie took Fizz her horse, and I took Skippy my pony. On the way to Christchurch we took a stop at the Sheffield pie shop for lunch and then continued driving to Rangiora pony club to practice our phases in the event, Dressage and Cross country. The next day was the horse event at Amberley Pony club. After Dressage, I got 11th place and Brydie got 2nd place in her class. There were seven classes, I was in the 7th class, with my friend Charlotte. Brydie was in the 1st class. Overall in the 3 phases, Dressage, Show jumping, and Cross country, I got 6th and Brydie got 1st! She won $100 dollars and a tail bag for Fizz.

For home links this week I did dance styles / actions on my pony Skippy, and my sister Tara and her pony Cricket. The video is full of wacky dance styles... Like you've never seen before! I hope you enjoy!

On Friday night Bridget and I had our first hockey game of the season. We were versing Karoro. The hockey games are once a week either on Thursday or Friday, and the Greymouth team has 2 teams since there is too many subs. The two team names are Aces, and Vikings. My sister Tara is in the Vikings, and my friend Bridget is in the Aces team with me. We won our first hockey game. in the first half of the game Karoro was in the lead with 2 goals. Then in the second half I scored 2 goals, the first one was really lucky because the ball hit the post on the edge of the goal! I missed a couple of goals too, but then my teammate Jordan scored another one to put us into first! At the end I got player of the day, and I was really proud.

Narrative learning: Francis

This term Ruma J has been writing narratives. We didn't have really any boundaries or rules to who the characters were -  (that's what I liked most!) Some of the class used the Game Of Awesome (GOA) to get their story; but I used the literacy shed because it has a lot of variety. I hope you enjoy me reading my story to you.

On the weekend I had a hockey 6 people on a time game ( I've forgotten what it's called! ), and the weather wasn't the nicest. I scored 2 goals and I was happy how I played. On Sunday, Mum, Tara and I went for a big 3 hour ride at the state farm next to my friend, Emily Jane's house on Sunday. My dad made the track to get to the actual ride, so then we don't have to go on the main road with the horse float.

On Saterday Mum, Tara, Skippy and Cricket ( the horses ) and I went to Westport for an ODE. ODE's is short for one day events. It involves dressage, showjumping and cross country. I entered Skippy and Cricket in 65cm. This was my last event on Cricket because I'm nearly too big for him. Mum and I thought it was quite ironic because I got 1st on Cricket, and I was very proud, and 2nd on Skippy! It was a very successful weekend, but I still don't want to get off Cricket.
