It is already the end of the year! Wow, I thought it just started. I can not believe how good 2023 has been. I have had such a successful year in my sport achieving my goal which was to get state champ and now I’m national champion. I have also had a nice year in the classroom with all my friends. My goals for 2024 is to win nationals again, get n0 yellow slips and enjoy myself. This will be my last blog for the year. Bye bye!!

Last week I had the Nationals for BMX in Melbourne. It was a really good time and I enjoyed it. The nationals were in Shepparton. We stayed in a place called Euroa. It was a very historical place apparently because it had old buildings and Ned Kelly robbed the bank there. In nationals series I got 4th on one of the national series and then on the other one I got 1st. In the nationals championships I got 1st in Australia for 8-10 boys! I was very happy with how I went. On the last day we stayed in a hotel in Melbourne and had pizza for dinner.

Last Friday, my year at school went on an excursion to a historical house nearby. We then also went to a museum nearby that has other facts about history. The house we went to was built all the way back in the 1800s. There was lots of very old furniture and lots of intersting items that they used to use. I learnt about how they used their fridges and it was cool. They would have a kind of cupboard door with a tray sitting on top full of water and it would leak down the sides of the fridge and come back to the top. There were also old fashiond toilets, bathrooms, beds, windmills, wells and the walls were made of a different material. at the museum we learnt about how the roads were built from dirt paths to wooden planks up to our roads now. We also learnt that our suberb was named after a man that had lived.

The best two weeks of the year are over and we’re already back at school. I did all of these things on the holidays. I raced the state championships for BMX and I finally got what I have been training for. I got 1 WA! 1 WA means  1 st in the state for my age group which is 10 boys. I was so happy that I had finnaly got 1WA. I also went to the movies with my older brother and some friends. I watched a movie called saw x. It was good but gross. on the holidays I also got a new bike so I got invited to a friends house to go riding at his house. That day we also did high jump and I won 5 bucks. Towards the end of the holidays me and my dad went fishing at night on the boat. We caught 2 little sharks and it was very choppy. That was some of the interesting things on the holidays that I enjoyed doing the most over the holidays. It was a good time and now we’re  back at school. Bye bye 😁😀👋👋👋👺

On Monday and Friday I had the interschool carnival Which is where you and your school will go into team games such as leader ball, pass ball and other relays. The two sports I competed in were Javelin which I came 3rd in and flag races which I came first in. In flags I had to be the first runner so I was nervous. I got a bad start because I couldn’t hear the whistle when you had to run but I ended up catching back up and my school won. In throws instead of throwing a vortex like last year we had to throw a javelin which is much harder. I was also doubting myself and thinking that I would come last but I ended up coming third which I was very happy with. I got a score of 17 metres. My school also ended up winning the trophy again for getting the most points in the twelve year in a row.

Deklan and I have been working together on a project. The project we have been working on is a self made board game for the pre primary’s in our school to play. The game is called Match It! Instructions- You will spin the wheel on the iPad and whichever number it lands on from 1-8 you match it to its picture that is representing the number!

e.g.  If a picture like a bike has two wheels then match it to number two. HAVE  FUN. 1 st player to have matched every number wins 🏆

These are two poems which I have made by myself. The first poem is about my sport and what it’s like. The second poem is about the country I live in and some of nice things Australia has.

I am from BMX which is the sport I love.

The sport with big helmets and a special glove.

Pumping and Jumping high up above.

Until your bike sadly gives you a shove.

I am from Australia where the animals are kindest.

Kangaroos, crocodiles and the cutest koalas.

Beaches, sunsets leaving the sky.

While the swooping magpies fly.

During this long semester we have been doing lots of different interesting things. One of the many things we have been learning about are story starters. Some of the things that we have learnt about story starters are that we should not put a word with i,n,g until the end of the sentence. Another thing is that we have learnt about story starters are that we don’t want them to be to long, instead we want our story starter to be quite short.

We have also been learning about percentages. In percentages what we have been working on are answers to see how much the percentage of something is. We have been doing percentages in math and on study ladder and Mathletics.

On the second last day of school we also have our lightning carnival for the year fives and sixes. In the lightning carnival the sports that will be played are, soccer, AFL, rugby, mod cross and lawn bowls. In the lightning carnival I am playing AFL.

We have also of course been doing the normal subjects like maths, sport and science and stuff but those were just some things. From term 1 to now I have had a good time in school and I am looking forward to the holidays. Bye bye.
