Stop Horsing Around!

 Did you know that a horse called Gracie had to be cut free from a tree by a chainsaw! She was so curious and just had to stick her head between two trunks. A passer heard Gracie whinnying and went to get help. Gracie was safely removed from the tree with a few minor injuries. A few scratches on the face and ears and sadly a dislocated jaw. Now Gracie is healing happily and knows not to go sticking her head into tree.

Hit The Lights!

The music started and the curtains opened, Hit The Lights! The show had begun. I was backstage with my friend Kaia while the older kids were dancing. Sharyn Underwood had taught everyone their dances with some helpers and now we were presenting them for Wanganui. There were lots of different dances right up  until my first dance, Living your dream came up. We danced on but the lights were so bright you could not see anyone in the audience. I smiled most of the time but it was over in about 3 minutes! The interval came and we had a 15 minute break while I ate my pasta. Next we were up 1st! Shake a tail feather, my favorite dance. The lights came up and we danced. It was the most fun night I had and we got to do it again on Sunday!

P.S. Miss Whitwell sat next to my mum and dad on the first night!

Hunterville Cross Country

On Friday morning on the starting line I'm having such a freak out! This was the day of the Hunterville  Cross country which is held every year and the beautiful green grass hills are used for running. My race was very long and I couldn't stop puffing! We had to run along the road, up the steep hill, over gates and fences and last of all down the muddy track. I finished with a really good place,18th with Georgina just ahead of me at 16th. All of the other competitors in Fordell got outstanding places and ran amazing races. After all the races Amelia shouted me an ice-block to cool off.

P.S. We even got a 3rd,5th and 8th place by Lauren, Tineisha and Joe in their races!  

Interesting Factoid!

Netball Poem

There are 7 players in each team,
All of them,
SO busy,
running,
dodging,
stepping,
shooting goals.
We play on
Saturday mornings,
But we practice
At school
On Thursday.
Our team
is great !
We listen to
the umpire
and don't mind
how puffed we get
Because that's all part
of being FIT!

My Alien

Today NASA received information that there are life forms on Jupiter. Rebekah.P, space explorer, reported back via satellite that she had found a new life form.
This life is reported as being a small but very fat alien. It's covering appear quite pink with sapphire polka dots. This alien is very cuddly and fury with one giant eye and positioned like a normal human being, 2 arms and 2 legs. It is very harmless and even has it's own language, in a very deep voice according to Rebekah, she said it was like "Meep, Meep!". When sighted its short stubby legs spun round and round in circles and in seconds it had vanished. This alien has been unidentified but is becoming very familiar to Rebekah. It lives in a very tiny tunnel next to a giant pile of rocks. Rebekah has seen many other aliens with it and told us it  probably has  some friends. This alien is very mysterious with it's ebony, sharp antennae.
