Cadets

On Monday at Cadets, period 1, we went for a huge run, then we did push-ups and then we did crunch-ups. For the run we started at the big parade grounds and we went around the buildings, up the drive, down the road to the Wigram Air-force museum around the car park twice and back to the Cadet unit. Then when we told the Sargent our time and then we went to do push-ups and crunch-ups. I managed to do fourteen push-ups and eighty crunch-ups. Crunch-ups are sorta like sit-ups but you don't go all the way up. I couldn't breath properly afterwards because I had been using my neck to get me up. In the next period, me and some other newer people learnt the basics of drill (Parade stuff) That was fun. Next week I
am doing a speech for "oral presentations" with Mr Mair. I'm not looking forward to that! But apart from that I am looking forward to Cadets next week!!!

Upcycling Speech

This is my speech presentation. I did it on upcycling. I chose this topic because I already knew about it and I have upcycled before.

Reading

This is a picture of the book I am reading. I would recommend it to people around 10+ years. It is about a girl in Pompeii and her dad is a baker. I will write more when I have finished.

Cadets

Yesterday I went to my hobby which is Cadets Corps. It is on every Monday. I got my uniform and beret. The top is a million sizes too big so that is why I look fat. 

At cadets we learn about a lot of stuff, yesterday we had lessons on oral presentations and the other basic cadets had a test of stuff they learnt over the year but because I'm new I didn't have to do it, so I had half a period free (I was called out before we went in to sort out my uniform). The week before we learnt how to march with a parade gun(wooden) and about our wellbeing. 

At the end of each Monday we have a talk where all the Sargents and Officers tell us what is coming up, like this weekend we have a shoot at burnham military camp and next Monday we are going to the roxx climbing centre. 

I think I will carry on next year because I want to get into the skills team.

My (and Mum's) horses

These are my (and my Mum's) horses. The little mini (called Minnie) is the family's but was bought for me, the second pic is Kelly she is my pony that I got two years ago for my Birthday and Christmas present. The bottem one is Annabelle she's Mum's and we got her three-four years ago with Minnie.

And then at the very bottem is Penny. She's my turkey. We've got way more because she had babies.

This is Minnie. My miniature pony.

This is Kelly. My Welsh pony.

This is Annabelle. Mum's Standardbred.

My dogs!

These are my dogs. Happy is the black one and Logan is the blonde/ golden one.

Clubs

On Friday afternoons at Loburn school the year 1-8's are having a clubs day. We have done this because as we are not training for x-country anymore we have a big chunk of our day that we would not have anything to do. The teachers and some parents are running the clubs and are doing a very good job so far. Thank you parents for coming in and teaching us some new skills when you could be sitting in a comfy seat with a cup of coffee and reading a book, especially in winter!

I have chosen band/choir as my club because I like to play the guitar and sing along to songs on the radio. In the band part of the group we have smaller groups as we have multiple drummers, pianists and guitarists! In my small band there is Me, Haylley, Brooklyn, Benj and Rys. (I think!!!) and the song that we are doing is "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth.

I enjoyed being able to move freely and just relax. I also found it interesting that there were so many people that weren't doing anything and watching other people or people teaching other people and some of the boys were playing with the microphones and doing some terrible singing!!! Our teacher that is in charge is Mrs Steele. She is also doing Choir, so the first 15-30 minutes she will be with the Choir and help us practice songs and then the kids that are in Choir and band will go to the Mt Thomas room to practice their songs and Mrs Steele will help us with our songs.

My goal is to learn and play three different songs and be able to change between chords fluently and quickly!
