Cross country recount

This year I have really enjoyed  cross country because I have made it the furthest I have ever made. I made it to TV! That was a great achievement for me because that was my goal. I did the most training that I have ever done for cross country. I was a great experience for me and now next time I go there I will know what the track is like. I came 6th for school cross country, 3rd for HP and 18th for TV.  the biggest thing that I need to work on for next year is to pace myself because I was sprinting at the start then I got tired. I felt nervous because I had never done TV cross country so I did not want to get last place but I didn't. My training work better on the hilly cross country because I am better at hills even though I had been training for flat. I am going to keep training through the year so I can be even faster next year. Next year my goal is to make it to TV and get in that top ten. I also want to beat my time of 8.11 for the block run next year. I loved cross country this year and can't wait till next year.

Timetable

9-10:30	Art,baking
11-12:40	maths,reading
1:30-3	writing,P.E

I would have art in the first block were maths is because it would be fun to start the day with some art. I would put some baking in there because it would be yum to eat and it would be fun to bake. I would have maths and reading in the middle block because maths would be a thing that I thinks needs more time on it because I get really stuck into something then I have to stop. Reading would be there as well because it would be a good way to finish the middle block with some quiet reading and sharing. Then after lunch I would invite Richie McCaw to play some touch with us because that would be fun and we would meet a celebrity.

iDRIVE

This term for iDRIVE we have joined with Whenua. It has been fun because we have got to work with other people and evan some people I did not know. We have worked as teams and worked against each other. We have worked out that you have to work as a team and it will help. My favourite workshop so far has been gardening because we got to do it for three weeks not two because we new what to do and the was still work to be done. Because the workshops go for two weeks not one week now we would of had to do it four weeks but Mrs Loft had no one in her group so we went there. That was also fun because we made a marble track together but it broke. We learnt from our mistakes and have learnt what to do next time. The thing that I want to do the most that I have not done is wood work. I want to do this because people have been making lots of cool creations and I want to have a go. The hardest for me was probably klikko because we do not work as a team and made our own individual things so we did not make something very cool if I could change anything for klikko it would be get an instruction book that people can use. If I could add something to iDRIVE it would be free time and the people that get into that thing get to chose what they do like play ball tiggy or make something with electronics that you bring from home.

Quotes

Respect the fish

This is a quote that I like because fishing is my passion so if I was having a bad day it probably would help. I also like this because my whole family loves fishing and it would help them to. I like to come up with quotes around what I love. This is not one I came up with the people that came up with this are called respect the fish. They are people that love fishing just like me but research into things and help scientists around the world. They make up lots of quotes another one is ‘Fishing is my anger management’ and many, many more. They don’t like it when people disrespect fishing like take more than they are allowed or keep them if they are too small. I do not like that either because it will ruin the population and we will not be able to get fish any more. If you disrespect the rules to fishing then you will get a fine it depends  how much you take that you are not meant to.
