cross country

39/8/13

Today the school did cross country. The senior syndicate went to Minogue park for their cross country. The 9 year old kids ran 1 1/2 k' the 10 year old kids ran 2 k' and the 11 year old kids ran 2 1/2 k'. I was in the 11 year old race. First Mr freak did stretches with us. Then we went to the start line. 321 GO! and we where off. Devin had a fast start but then people started to pass him at that stage I was coming 8th but quickly moved to 6th. I was behind Luisa and she would not let me pass. It had been one lap and I was going at a steady pace behind her then she stopped. I sprinted and got in front of her the rest of the way was tiring but I was glade I made it in front of her. Every once and a while I would look back to see if she was getting close but she wasn't. In the end I came 3rd. I am very happy with myself and I achieved my goal of coming in the top 10.

                   

Gymsport reflectin

29/8/13

Yesterday the seniors and middles went to the Hamilton gymnastics club for our gym-sport  competition. My group is the aerobics group.  Devin, Alex and I did not make it into the team, but we where still there to show our support . Gym-sport is like a dance and gymnastics competition.  Vardon school only entered to do the dances.  We did hip hop, cheer leading and aerobics. The most difficult thing was that the certificates did not have Devins or my name on them.  We were still in the team, just not in the competition. I think that the whole group was nervous until they found out that we were only versing the middle team from Vardon. The team did their best and came first, so that means if you try your hardest you will achieve your goal. I think that the last 15 weeks of training and hard work paid off and now everyone thinks it was the most fun thing they had ever done.

• QR stands for quick response code.
• Books, magazines, packages, bill boards and flyers all have QR codes. a lot  more thing also have QR codes but these are the main things

Term 3

31/7/13

This term my goals are:

• to have a decent breakfast in the morning before school
• to keep on task and get my work finished
• not to call out when I'm not supposed too 
• to challenge myself and try out for something new

To achieve these I will need to get up early and be organised, not be distracted by things happening around me and stay focused.

Milk for schools

3/7/13

Today Vardon school children got a packet of milk each from Fonterra. It is our first day. I did not like the milk because I was not used to it. I normally get lite blue milk (not long lasting). I think Fonterra is doing a good thing for schools and kids.
