Reading challenges

Every term we  have reading goals to complete by the end of the term. I have just finished a series so I haven't completed many yet but these are the ones I have done:
Read three books in a series : I read all three of the chasing the valley books
Read a book recommended by a family member: I read Big Nate, recommended by my brother.


I know it dosent look like I have done many but all the other challenges are single books and the next challenge I will go for is: Pick a random book out off the shelf.

My favourite sport

Indoor cricket. Indoor cricket is my favourite and most successful sport I play at the moment. My favourite part of the game is the fact that the game is confined and you can bounce and catch off the nets. The rules of this form of the game are suited more for a faster and more exciting game. These are the pure basic rules of the game:

1.     Non-striker batsman only has to run to half way (as shown on photo)

2.    8 fielders, 2 batsman and 1 umpire.

3.    -5 runs if you get out

4.    Softer ball

5.    Not allowed the ball in the huddles

6.    If you hit the walls in the first half of the court you get an extra run when you run, but 2 extra runs if you hit the side back half.

7.    If you hit the far back wall on the full its 6 runs but if you run you get 7.

8.    4 batting partenerships.

9.    If you get a higher score then the batsmen on the other team who batted at the same partnership time as you, you get a “skin”

10.You are allowed to catch the ball off any net except the very back one, unless it hits another net and stays off the ground.

These are only a few  of the main rules, except there are some little things you should know to do during the game, e.g. If they bowl a wide you have to signal to the umpire if you want to re- bowl it.

The main skill that you learn (or should have) is fast reflexes. As you are playing

playing in a small court a ball can bounce of any wall or come at you at any time. Another skill relating to reflexes is just simply to be ready to catch, field or throw the ball at anytime.

I think that most people are put off cricket because of how long it takes and how little you are in the game, but indoor cricket is the opposite of this. You are constantly diving, talking and celebrating most balls!

Production Prep

This term we doing a production, and we have to update how we are doing leading up to it. For the dances I am in we have only done a few practises but I think we are going really well. Tainted love looks really good, but our chair dance needs a bit more practise. :) I have memerised most of my lines but I dont know when to say them! I am not in props but I hope they doing well and Sam and my costume is finished and looks good. I need to practise my lines alot more and read the few lines before them so I know when to say them.

Foil (Remix of Lordes "Royals")

Foil is a very funny remix of Royals. This song is a story about the singer who goes into a restaurant and doesn't finish all his food.  He then takes his food home in a paper bag which to him doesn't keep his food fresh enough for him! He then goes on and says that foil will help in an alien invasion but i'll leave it for you to watch. Sorry, I cant find the song but might be able to , search up: Foil on youtube.

Favourite art

This is my best painting ever :) 

So for this weeks reflection we have to post or favorite piece of art e have done.We each painted a Egyptian head to put on the wall outside our classroom. my favorite part of this art is the face, especially the mouth as I am usually pretty bad at drawing thin black lines.
This might be (maybe one more) my last post until end of the holidays so I'll see you all soon. :::)

Egypt learning!!

 Hello People,
So I want to focus on one thing that has stuck into my mind the best... the weapons. There was a lot of information in their power point and the games that we played gave us a chance to play what we have learnt. The thing that I learn from the most is exactly what we are doing right now... power points and activity's! Thanks To the Bolgers I have learnt a lot! thank youuuuuuuuuuuu!

Nairnville

To start off with we will do a warm up game. Either Ship to shore or bopper tag. We will play a few of these games and then do some stretches, wrist rolls and toe touches. My favourite activity was the obsticale course were we climbed and crawled through things. I improved on everything except for rolly pollys which i'm  useless at!
Im just really looking forward to the sports segment.
