Cantbury Cross Country

This experience had definitely made me have high expectations of myself. It had driven me to see that it just had to do the best I could do. Last year I was 14th and I was super for getting through to the last Cantubary Cross Country, but this year was different and I was just a lot more nervous that I had ever felt before and I just a bit disappointed that I didn't make it through to the last Cantubary Cross Country and from there is I had got top 10 then I would get to train with coaches over in Christchurch, but I don't live in Christchurch. I got 63rd. I did my best and I had a great time. I'm glad I got the Experience.

Rock Climbing and Abseiling

This is definitely a year 8 Challange I will never forget. I am looking over the edge, feeling as though I will fall any second, I have never had any faith or trust in these ropes!!! Until now. While I am sitting on the edge of a cliff telling the instructor " I don't want to do It anymore". But Inside my mind, I really want to face my fear and have the courage that it takes to Abseil down the face of a cliff. I went down to the Rock Climbing beside the crashing waves, pounding onto the jagged rocks. Then I see my BFF Kate going so fast down the Abseil Rock and I don't know how she can go that fast. As I am Climbing I feel a rush of relief wash through me. I did not think I would make It all the way to the TOP!! Then came a thing I never thought I would do. Abseil down the Climbing Rock!! Wow, that was Amazing and so fun. I think " so now that I have Abseiled down the Climbing Rock, I start to feel like I should have another go at the Abseiling"! I am once more looking over the edge of the rock again, but this time there is no " I don't want to do It anymore" It is more like " this is actually not so bad" and when I reached the ground again I was so proud of myself for overcoming my fears. That was an absolutely amazing experience, I definitely want to do it again!!

Debate 1

The Debate topic has pushed me so hard this term because I had never known that the School Education System was Broken and it had never occurred to me. Every time I thought about it I knew I had to finish the research and make it sound like a speech that went with the topic, there were just so many things on my mind about that Debate. When It came time for the real Debate I was quite nervous about getting this right and not letting my team down. But after we had finished the Debate I was proud of myself and now I had another experince of a Debate.

We have been collaborating with Room 7 doing art. The good thing about that is I can do art and hang out with my Friends Kaley, Jaime, Amy and my BFF Kate.

Were you can go down to the beach and collect lots of cool Driftwood and then make something cool. I am working with my friends Kate and Jaime. We can make up what it is going to look like, here are some ones that have been made and look super effective.
