Big Day Out!

My highlight of the year is CAMP and MISSION FAIR. I enjoyed those activities so much and wish I could do them again.
I have been to quite a few big day outs and honestly I can only remember one. It was two years ago in room 9 and we went to the zoo. I saw penguins and tigers and lots of other animals. I even got to hold some animals like hamsters and tuataras!! I also remember "someone" telling me there was a unicorn at the zoo. I stupidly believed that and nearly got lost.
Oh wait, another one's coming back to me. I also remember going to Zealandia. We had to get our bags checked so there were no rats or cats in there. Hard to believe. We did heaps of walking and we also saw lots  of Tuataras and I even saw a baby one!
My favourite big day out is still the zoo one though. It was pretty fun.
I think we will be going to the Zoo for Big Day Out because that's where I want to go.
What was your favourite big day out?

WHOOSH

Next year I'll be off to college, which means I'll be leaving St.Benedict's school :( I was really sad at first, but after the orientation day, I felt really excited and confident because all the students and teachers there were so welcoming, nice and funny. Next year we will have BYOD which stands for bring your own device and it is a good opportunity to ask my parents to get me  an ipad mini. Anyway, next year I hope I won't get lost but I'm sure it'll be okay because my sister's there. I am going to try hard and give everything a go.
Overall, I'm feeling excited and also I've already made some friends.
Citlin, if u r reading this, I will keep my promise.
Which college are you going to?

Last week was book week and we did heaps of interesting activities like the Golden Ticket hunt and we even got to meet Kate De Goldi! I didn't get to dress up for book character parade or participate in the book quiz even though I got in the team because I was sick. :( Meeting Kate De Goldi was Awesome! She was so interesting and it was impossible to get bored. Her books sound so interesting even though I've never read them. I tried to get her books out but they were already either issued or reserved. :(  At the end I did something that I thought was super brave. I went and asked for her signature!! She also told me that my name meant light.
The Golden tickets were a big thing during book week. Everyone was looking for them and I have to admit I was too! It was such an amazing challenge but it made me question myself as a Consultant Detective. :(
Anyway, Book week has been epic but it would've been better if I came to school on Friday. (I would've probably dressed up as Sherlock :3)
What did you dress up as for book Character Day?

HORTON HEARS A WHO! & HORTON HATCHES THE EGG!

I read heaps of books when I was little but my family loves Dr.Seuss so my mum bought me almost all of his books. My favourite ones were HORTON HEARS A WHO and HORTON HATCHES THE EGG. I watched the movie for Horton hears a who and it was so good!
Obviously, I read other books too. I liked books that relate to me or the audio books my cousin sends to  me. The book allows them to record their own voices into the book so when I open the book I can hear them read. It's like hearing them read right beside me. That's what's so good about these books. Sadly, you can only get them in America.
So, what's your favourite book from when you were little?

...Australian Football League...

Last Thursday, we played AFL, I have to admit, it is a thousand times better than I thought it would be, but it's still not my favourite sport. We learned some things to help us remember the techniques. Here are some:
Laces away from faces
Point your toes where you want the ball to go
Crosses up and down
Ring finger on the seams


If you've got any more techniques, tell me because I missed out on the second lesson. Bye~
