Athletics carnival

Last week was the Athletics carnival. The first race up was the 200m which was very nerve racking. When the race started I was really scared and I kept looking around to look what I was coming and at everyone else. because I did that I slowed down but at least I still came 4th which was pretty good. After that I went up to my dad and he said to look straight the whole time and not to look around. So with my next race which was the 100m I looked start the whole time and came 2nd:) I was so happy with myself and that my dad's advice really worked:) I also got into the long jump and shot put. Shot put was first up I did my best but wasn't as good as the other girls cause I came 5th. With the long jump I came 4th but it was pretty hard cause we had to jump off a line and not the white, green and yellow mat. After we had tug of war with the year 6's O'Shea and Steele and it was Makillop vs O'Shea and Makillop won. Then Steele vs O'Shea and Steele won but when it was Makillop vs Steele, Steele won and we lost. But I still had a great day.

This week we have been learning about area and perimeter. It is very easy but some are a bit hard mainly the composite shapes. Two weeks ago Me and Maddy found out we did not get into the talent show:( Which was a bit disappointing for us. In art we have been designing our hats. Two weeks ago we were given a picture of a teacher to put our hats on. My hat was a black hat titled top the side with peacock feathers coming out of the top. Now it has all been changed and is a gorgeous red hat with red netting over the face and a red necklace. my hat was designed on sister Jenny. I think my hat looks really good especially on sister Jenny. Last week and this week we have been doing our shot put, long jump and high jump in preparation for our Athletics carnival this Friday and i can't wait:)
