Dansation

WOW! DANSATION was just a blast!!

After all those rehearsals we did an incredibly great job on Monday night. Every dancer was dressed comfortably in their costumes and had big smiles on their faces. I mostly enjoyed the year 9 dance because I was part of it and every year 9 students involved in it, made it look so good plus the chorographers did a great job choreographing the hall dance.In addition I enjoyed dancing and there was nothing better than that.

Yeah!!

Ski Camp..the best

I loved ski Camp, it was the best Camp I've ever been too in such a long period of time. Everything that had happened there was just phenomenal and very exciting. Everyone knows that it isn't just an ordinary Camp, It Worth's much better than that. it has different qualities then other camps have, and in those different qualities there comes your skills.
While we were on Mount Bulla, it was such a scary experience for me since I've never seen snow before or skied either. But although I was frightened I still got the hang of it sooner enough.

During our first ski lesson, I wasn't quite sure on how skiers were meant to be worn or how to ski. it was very exciting learning a new skill and at the same time frustrating. As I got to know how to put my skiers on properly it was a great relief.

My group's instructor Toby was very kind and helpful to all of us, even though he didn't speak much English, we could still understand him and his body language. Toby helped me a lot in terms of putting my ski gear on and everything else to do with skiing. He had such a cute Austrian accent that gave laughter to all of us, when he pronounced the words "Snowplough and Slow down". Those two words mostly applied to me because I had little bit of trouble stopping.

Though I wasn't quite confident with skiing I had lots of fun, being at the camp with your friends and just enjoying every single moment of it, cause who knows that might be the last time you ever saw snow again or even skied.

Spending time at the camp really made me feel special and comfortable. i loved every second of it and i would like to go to camp like that again in the near future.
I don't see why they shouldn't keep Ski Camp, it's the best!!

Final Reflection

Term one was the best term ever. i personally enjoyed and learnt a lot from it. from that experience we had with the southbank ride, the triathlon and the woburton camp, was really interesting and unforgettable. the term was fantastic. i mostly liked Woburton camp because it was great, everyone was friendly and the environment that we stayed in was beautifully designed. during the around the fire talk, i actually realised that some people had some nice things to say about themselves, that no one else in the school or the year level knew about. it was a good thing, getting to know other people. Now i have even spoken to some students that i normally don't speak too. i am very proud of that. overall the camp was incredible. everyone had a lovely time.i mostly loved the giant swing, it was the best thing ever. at first i was a bit nervous, with the encouragement of my team i managed to go for it. at the end i was relieved. That was a great team effort!!
i wish we did something like that again.

Today's clallenge

In the afternoon at school, we continued the year 9 program. so we rode to Monash Swimming pool, then ran 1 or 2 laps around a lake that was found near Monash. then after that, we rode back to the swimming pool and swam,numbers of laps that each person chose to do in the triathlon. we pretty much enjoyed it, and some of us actually managed to do more laps than, we chose to. it was a beautiful, sunny day to go out for a ride, run and a swim. i managed to swim at least a quarter of the swimming pool. freestyle.i was quiet happy about it. i also think i did well running 2 laps around the lake, that was spectacular. i just kept on telling myself that, nothing was impossible, everything was possible if you just gave it a shot.
i enjoyed today!! it was the best day ever, with everyone feeling proud of them selves.

Looking for Alibrandi

looking for Alibrandy is, a very intriguing book. i like the fact that it's all about Josephine's culture and how she discovers her family's secrete. i enjoyed reading the first few chapters, and i found it quite easy to actually understand. Josephine Alibrandy is an intelligent, young teenager with an Italian background. through the chapters, her character has been developing showing us where it's going to lead us next.it's the best book ever, and i surely recommend it for anyone.

The highlight of the week

My highlight of the week was, swimming and riding with group 4. i am not that well at swimming, but i anted to give it my best shot and to really try my best. Riding a bicycle, is one of my favourite sports, that i like doing. i remember when i was a little girl, my mother bought me a little bike with three wheels on it. and the first time that i got onto that bike, i started paddling by myself, without any one's help. we'll that was quite an experience, learning to ride a bicycle by myself.
back at my old school, we did a bike ride competition, and at that time i wasn't confident with my bike yet. so i took a few lessons before the competition. i wasn't expecting myself to come in the first place , second or the third place.i was expecting myself to come in the 15Th place. by the time the competition got closer, i was feeling afraid, that i wouldn't even make it at the beginning. so i said to myself, that i had the strength and that i had to believe in myself. thinking positively then negatively.
