Intense Times

With the Gymnastics festival edging closer were working harder than ever.  We only have 3 days of practice left, I've began practicing Day in, and day out. With A-Grade in the morning, and rhythmical at morning tea, and lunch, Were doing a lot.  All the free time we have is going to gym.  
My Rhythmic teacher is panicking, because we don't know the entire dance yet.  We've booked out the gym for friday, 12.40 pm-2.15 pm.  Our dance is getting better, and we have a few more tricks.
Our practice is getting more and more squashed because were rushing to finish the dance.  We practice quite often now, as we do all the things we need to.

I can't believe It!! In A-grade, we know all our routines of by heart. YAY!!!  We started learning it and practicing it last week. Only 5 people from our school are in A-grade, and yet we all got it so Quickly.  Aria is soooo dainty with her beam, and floor.  We ALL just stare at her while she practices.  she's much better than the rest of us,  she's the best in the School!!  I'm getting more and more nervous about my floor routine, we have, well, had, to make it up!!

With so much going on, all of it based around gymnastics, people are getting more and more nervous.  I wonder how it will all turn out.  Tune in next week to find Out!
Our school!!

Gymnastics Fun

 This week me, and the rest of my school have been focusing on gym.  The Gisborne Primary schools gymnastics festival is coming up, and we want to be ready.  We´ve all chosen the group out of A-Grade, B-Grade and C-Grade.  (There's also A reserve but no one is in that group.)  We´ve been training for about 2 school weeks now, and we are getting more, and more competitive.

This year I chose to be in A-Grade and Rhythmical.  Rhythmical is a sort of gym dance.  I started off as a back up, but improved so much, I think, that I´m in the actual dance!!  Maybe  I was the whole time, Who knows?  Well,  we´ve learnt most of the dance and a couple of tricks.  It's really exciting to be learning so fast in so little time.  We've started needing to bring our water bottles to practice.  Lola's the ringmaster, and Aria is doing a very cool trick, in the middle of the dance!  

This morning I had my first A-Grade practice.  When it was just us, Lola, Alivia, Aria, Charlotte and I  there, in the hall,  Charlotte, Lola and Alivia and I  were trying to learn how to do a front handspring, Aria was our instructor. I didn't have much luck, Lola managed some, and Alivia and Charlotte were very close.  When our teacher came in to teach us, we practised the beam.  I am by far the worst at it, Especially at getting on.  Then we practised the box.  No one had much luck at first, but we all got there. We did the straddle jump.


Thank you for reading my Blog! Bye.

Polar Animals: The Snow Fox



This week my quick write was based on polar animals, and for me, I chose snow foxes.
You might be wondering why I didn't choose a ¨cooler¨ animal, but you'll soon find out.  Their more curious, and sneaky, than we think.  

I hope you like my slide! Bye.
There's writing on the slide, Read it!
