Basketball Season

This basketball season was epic! Last night's score was 51-6, to us. I scored 5 shots and missed a lot. Playing basketball was awesome, it was so fun! This was my first year playing basketball, towards the end of the year I got a lot better at shooting and dribbling. I definitely recommend playing basketball as it is super fun and you don't have to be really competitive to play.

Quebec

Bonjour, this week in class we learnt about french speaking countries, my country was Quebec.

So close, yet so far!

I have only got 2 terms left of primary school, ever! That means I'm half way to High school, but there is still so much I have to do before I leave. For the next 2 terms I'm going to be working hard out so when I get to high school I will be prepared for everything they'll throw at me. I'm super nervous for high school, but at the same time, I'm super excited. Although I am going to be working really hard on school work I'm also going to focus on Physical activity (sport). Since it is my last year at school I want to achieve some new personal bests especially in athletics. 

My goals for the rest of this year: 

1. Be on time, focused and I am going to try not rush everything. Unlike last term, I was rushing to get everything published and mastered on time, even though it may not seem like I was it really felt like it.

2. Practice and really try to achieve new personal bests. I am really going to try and succeed  physically and academically.

3. Finish this year off with great achievements and be prepared for highschool!

Challenge #3 Rafting The Grey River

On the 22nd-23th some of my classmates and I went rafting up the back of the Grey river, it was probably one of the most exciting and challenging things I've done in my life (so far.) One of my favourite highlights was probably when, I was in a raft with Hannah, Reed, Jordin, Calder and the instructor: Lochie. It was so awesome because Lochie was trying to stare us into the biggest rapids. I was sitting at the front of the boat when lochie stared us over a drop, the front of the boat bent backwards as we hit the white water that came straight towards us. 

in the saftey brief, I learnt a couple of signals that the instructors use to communicate with each other. I also learnt that you want to find the V of the river when going over rapids because when there are rapids that means shallow water. The V of the river means more water is running there so it's deeper, and the deeper it is the less chance you have of being beached. Unfortunately, once we DIDN'T go down the V and got beached right in the middle of the river. I thought that setting up the tents would be hard, it actually turned out really easy, even in the rain. 

It was such an AWESOME experience! I would definitely do it all again even if I was to fall out the raft (again.) This trip was definitely challenging, although this was more challenging to the body than the mind especially because of the lack of sleep. I have absolutely no regrets choosing to go rafting. I can't wait for the next Challenge.

BRING IT ON!!!
