I'm Still Here!

It has been quite a while since I've posted on here. I don't know why though, I guess I just haven't got round to it, although I have had plenty of time. Hockey is going well. I play tomorrow, again, but I'm very excited. I always get excited about hockey games. I had my laptop sent away a week or so ago because the SD card slot in it was not working, so therefore I was not able to put photos on my laptop. But it is all fixed up now, so I will probably be posting a few more photos now.

In less then three weeks, the homeschooling group that we are a part of here, is having its Athletics Carnival for the year!!! I am very excited. I love competing in it, its always so much fun.  I'm usually ok at the track events, however, me being very small, I'm not very good at the field events. But it is all great fun!

At the moment I am watching come AFL, (Australian Football League). I love watching it!! And I am also drawing a mini map of the hockey fields here, just for fun=)

Nearly Home!

Tomorrow we finish our holiday.

It has been a rather short holiday. We drove here Sunday afternoon, Monday was lovely and sunny, the Tuesday was windy, overcast and wet, yesterday my family went to visit some friends of ours. We had a great time. It was sunny most the day, but just as we were leaving, it began to rain rather hard. Naomi, Elise, Alice and I all played Absolute Boulder Dash together, it was so much fun!!! I had never played it before so it was really nice to be able to learn and play it with Alice. (She is really good at it) :)
So after an afternoon of fantastic fun, we had to come back to where we are spending our holiday. Today it is wet again, but there is a bit more sun.

I'm looking out the door of where we're staying, the local ferry is going by, we are right on the coast with a bay right in front of us! Being on the coast, I'm desperate to go to the beach, but unless in stops raining and the sun comes out, I don't think we'll be going :(

Tomorrow Naomi and I play our second game of hockey for the season, which is also the last game before school holidays. I think we have good chance of winning. The team comes from the same club as our team, but I don't think it has as many good players on it. Fingers-crossed we win!!

During our holiday, we have been walking down to the local bakery here. We buy really nice bread and we also buy special treats. I bought myself a bun with cream through the middle of it and a small blob of jam. It is really nice, I'm trying to save it and not eat all in one go :)

I'll probably post about my hockey game on the weekend. Cya!

Ten Pin Bowling!!

Couple of days ago my family and I and other homeschooling family's went Ten Pin Bowling!

It was so much fun even though I came second last (LOL) I've never been any good at it.

We were all separated into different lanes according to our age. We had one game.

My ending score was 75.

I hope we will go there again. Even though I'm absolutely hopeless at it I really enjoy doing it.

Hockey!!!

Guess what. We finally won our first game of hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the story.

The team we were versing got a goal in the first half and then we got one at the beginning of the second half so it was one all. Then in the last minute I dribbled the ball up to the top of the circle and someone knocked me over, I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not. So it was our ball. We got it into the circle and one of my team mates went for a shot at goal but it just missed, the ball was still in play though. So Naomi came into the circle and someone passed it to her and she got the goal!!!

We are still very excited about it all. We play again today but we are playing the best team so we probably won't win. I'm just glad we won last night.

Athletics Day!

I had heaps of fun yesterday at the Athletics Day!!

I think I did quite well considering all the other girls in my age division are heaps taller then me. I'm a miniature 12 year old. (LOL)

I came 2ND in the 100 metre sprint

2ND in the 1200 metre long distance. (2ND in all the girls and in my age division and 4TH over all the senior group including boys)

I got nothing in the Javelin. (I had to land it right otherwise I wouldn't get any points, and out of 3 attempts I couldn't land it right once)

I think I did all right in Discus.

I wasn't much good in shot put because I couldn't get a grip of the ball because my hands my hands are small.

I got 3rd in long jump which I am very happy about.

I came 1st in the sack race and 1st in the 3-Legged race with Naomi.

So it was a fun day.

My team came 2ND in the Relay and 3rd in the Tug-Of-War, but in points my team came 2ND.

My Mum told me yesterday after it all that if I were only 6 weeks younger I would be young enough to be in the age
division below what I'm in now, that way I wouldn't be in the senior group. But I don't mind being in the senior group, it's more of a challenge.

Athletics day!!!

Today we are having our homeschooling athletics day!!

The events are:

Sprint race

Relay race

Long Distance

Discuss

Javelin

Long Jump

Shot Put


So they are all the events.

My favorite events are Sprint, Long Distance and Long Jump. I usually do alright in those events.

After all those serious events we have fun events like a sack race and 3-legged race! Because Naomi and I are twins and we are pretty much the same height (Naomi is about 1 centimeter taller then me) we just about always came first in the 3-legged race.(LOL)


I'm really looking forward to it.

Later this week I will post and tell you how I went.

Drama and Choir

For the last 4 weeks my sister Naomi and one of my brothers and quite a few other children from our local homeschooling group have been having Choir and Drama lessons.

I think I enjoy the Drama better than the Choir but I'm probably better at the Choir than Drama.

I like to talk and experiment with my voice and try make different sounds and talk in different ways.

I also love to act. At home Naomi and three of my other brothers and sisters have made two films (with our old Video Camera), one of Cinderella and the other of The Three Bears.

In the Cinderella film I played an ugly step sister, it turned out to be in a way funny and very silly!

In the Three Bears film I played Goldy Locks. I think I did a pretty good job at acting her but I preferred acting the ugly step sister.

Naomi was the directer of both the films because whenever she acts in films or plays or something like that she laughs so she can't say what she needs to say.

I think I'm pretty good at choir because at the church my family and I go, about twice a month Naomi, Elise and I are rostered on to play guitar and keyboard and sing with another lady. I usually lead 2 songs every time I'm rostered on so I do sing quite a bit.

It has been really fun having the Drama and Choir lessons!

Ripstiks

If you've ridden a ripstik you will know how fun they are. I got in to ripstik when my neighbour had a baby sitter looking after him and his sister for the school holidays. She brought around two ripstiks for them to ride. Now with a ripstik you can't just get on it and ride it, it takes a lot of practice to be able to ride it. It took me a long time to learn how to ride a ripstick. 

With ripstiks, you can't ride them like a skateboard. It's really tricky to get the hang of it. You need to put your left foot on the front part of the ripstik and then you need to do one quick push of with your right foot and put it on the back part of the ripstik, and then you swivel. 

I've learn't how to wheelie and turn around at the same time and I can do wheelie's on both wheels. Me and my sister share a red ripstick and my two brother's share a blue one.
