Choice & challenge 

Every Friday Minttu, Mya, Eartha and I go down to the little kids class and make play dough. We teach years 0-3's. It can be hard sometimes but not that hard that we can’t handle it. But when making play dough it's not just fun. The kids are also learning. And so am I. Every Friday I am learning more about the kids and what they like to do, what colors they like. I also learned that little kids love glitter. It is great fun. I think if I get the choice I’ll do it next year.

Cross country

On cross country day we got told that we had to do it. It was at that moment I thought I was going to die. 

(don’t worry I didn’t die) Cross country is one of my least favorite things in the whole world. I dread that day every year. When I used to run cross country last year I only had to run 2 laps of the bike track, but now I have to run 3 laps of the whole school. But because I had to do it I did it and even though I didn’t place it doesn't matter I still participated in one of the things I dread the most. 

Running Assemblies

On the last assembly of term last year I ran the assembly. I was really nervous when I was practicing, before doing it in front of everyone. This year Mya and I are about to run our first assembly of the year. It is this Friday. I am still nervous this time but I think I'll be fine when I’m up on stage. 

Camp

At camp I had the best time. My friends and I slept in a tent outside. We did lots of activities. Such as raft building, search and rescue, fire and hut building, high ropes and many more. My favorite activity was high ropes. It was terrifying but I trusted my friends. They were in charge of the rope so I wouldn't fall. 

Growing

I think I have grown a lot this year being with all my friends. It also helps being in a chilled environment. It helps me think and helps me do my work faster. I love this year because I feel I belong in this class.
