Learning stuff

Well in the last couple of weeks I have learnt a lot of different things.


But the thing that stays in my head the most is the burial. The burial was a main part of Egyptian after life. They believed it was vital to keep the in tip top form. They took out the soft organs out, even the brain! They then wrapped the body in wrapping and placed it in a hard case and surrounded the body in riches and possessions.

Book groups

My book groups went really well. Most people read to where we were meant to, and some people didn't!
What went well was that we had really thoughtful discussions and we listened to each other. What we could improve on was Just staying FOCUSED! I have really gained from this expierance because now when I read my own books I think about what is important and what the characters would be like in real life!

Book- The Trucker

The Trucker is a book I used to read with My Dad. The book is about a kid who's
 dad is a trucker. He has a dream about going on a delivery drive but his dad wakes
him up and he realises it was all a dream.

But while he is still in his dream a car brakes down and he and his dad repair and
rescue the car. They are in a big storm and when they turn on the windscreen wipers
 I used to go "swish swish" . They stop at a Trucker stop to have something to eat and
the kid feels like a man and orders a massive burger and fries. When his Dad finally wakes him, He has to sprint outside in the big storm, jumps in. ( For real this time)       

holidays

last Saturday at the end of the holidays (still counts as the holidays) I played a game of rugby against Pram ( Parapram) and we won; by a fair margin. We received the ball from the kick off and the forwards did a great job charging up the field and secured the ball for us backs and Alex Blacktop was pulled just up short of the try line when Matt (great name!) Edwards dived over the line for a great team try. I kicked the conversion from the side line and we were ahead early in the game. Pram came back strong but we held the off and scored another try in the same fashion and I converted again. So to wrap it up I kick 4/5 conversions and we ended up wining 40 /20.

Mission Fair

So for the mission fair we had to come up with a stall to raise money for Caritas, to raise money for Solomon Islands. Our Stall was a game where you try throw money onto chocolate.

What went well was that we raised lots of money off a 50c game. we raised about $90. I don't think there was much more we could do to improve our stall except for a few more big bars.

stuff

I like to play backyard cricket either on the grass or on the tramp. Versing Marco is quite easy but he is getting a lot harder.

What is backyard cricket?

Well its pretty simple just a fast paced version of cricket with a tennis ball in your back-yard!

What I like about it is that you can bat for as long as you like and you can have fun and muck around while trying new styles out.

I do play really often mostly whenever I go outside.

Question:
Have you ever played back yard cricket? 
If no would you like to try it?
