As i said in a previous post, Our school participated in our first cheer leading competition.
We had two teams one from grade eight and the other from years 9 & 10. We each had two routines “pom” and “cheer”.We versed each other in both routines. In our “pom”routine the grade eight team came first with the grade nine coming second. In “Cheer” the nine, tens came first making the grade eight winning second place.

We all had a great night and wouldn’t have been nearly as good without a choreographer Lauren and our teacher Miss McDermott helping us out all the way.

We have another competition in August, we have again practised and have changed the routine slightly but it has been so fun and we are all looking foward to our second competition.  

I know it’s been a while but i’m back..

I’m hoping everyone who I commented last year are still using there blogs.. and will visit mine.  

2009 has now started, school is back, and I’ve just celebrated my 14 birthday.

This year has been different from last year, I’m no longer in some of my friends classes as they are a year younger. I’ve made new friends in my grade. I’m doing different subjects and off course I have many new teachers.

This year our school has started a new subject, Cheerleading. I’m part of the grade eight cheerleading team and am really enjoying it. We have learnt new skills and cheers. Our first cheer competition is in seven weeks,  It should be heaps of fun.   

Does your school have any cheer squads?

Happy Easter All!

Our School has set up a Wikispace about our local Community Sorell, During this year many students have joined in along with Miss W to make a good website about Sorell. it was set up because there wasn’t much else around on the internet. So if you wanted to find out a bit more about where I live visit the Wiki and please leave a comment back about what you liked?

This is a picture of a Wikispace but it is not ours.

Today my friends Ashleigh, Sam and I went down to our local supermarket to fundraise for the Royal Guide Dogs for The Bind Association Of Tasmania. We stood ouside shops and rattled money tins. When and if people donated we gave them a Guide Dog. It was heaps of fun. Our tin was the heaviest by the end of the day but many other teams recieved more notes than us. We then walked back to school and dropped the tins off before going back to class.

I’m so excited, Christmas is coming in 22 days. The weather is getting heaps warmer and we’ve only have 15 days of school left.

During the holidays my family and I are going to our shack for a month, Fishing, swimming, relaxing and boating are just some of the things we love to do there.

Hopefully my cousin and aunty are coming down for a holiday on Boxing day.

Also in a few weeks I have my friends birthday Party, It’s a party where you have to dress up as something that your name starts with. So my name is Lisa so i’m going to dress up as Lisa Simpson from the Simpsons. I’ve bought yellow stocking off Ebay and also am getting a orange dress. I will find a pearl necklace but I need some help, I have long blonde hair and am not sure how I could make it spiky like Lisa Simpson? If you have any idea’s please comment and let me know. 

If you were to dress up as something that your name started with what would you dress as??

So there we go, you now know what i’m doing in the next few weeks and holidays so what are you doing?

I chose my avatar because it looked a little like me well I tried to make it as close to me as possible. I wore cloths which used my favourite colours in them and had long blonde hair like mine. The background has pretty flowers in it also using my favourite colours. i added the tiara to add a little bit extra but I really  don’t wear a tiara around.

I hope you like my avatar, you should make one to add to your blog.

Today is the day… That we get to have the Skype Call with America!

Today is the day that finally the long awaited skype call is being made, All our class can’t wait it should be heaps of fun! We are calling Ashley and her friends from America. We are going to all have a chat and let her know about Australia. The call is being made at 1pm Australian time so just before lunch, but in America that is about 9pm  so Ashley is at home and hopefully asking some friends to join her.

We tried to make the Skype call last week but the plans weren’t too good and Ashley didn’t know the plans. So lets hope this thime it all works out!!

Remembrance day is on the 11/11 at 11 ‘O’ Clock. It’s to remember those who fought in war, not only World War One but in all wars.

World War One ended on the 11/11 at 11 ‘O’ Clock And that is where we got Remembrance Day from.

Seventy milliion people died in World War One. Today we will have a minutes silence to remember all who fought.

Flanders Poppies were the first livingplants that sprouted in Spring in 1915. In 1918 selling Poppies started as the flower of Remembrance Day. Now at the Australian War memorial people put Poppies next to the plaques of family members who died in War.  

Today Ashleigh and I umpired our netball team, We had a great game with very good defence. Our shooters in the last quarter were awesome and they got many of the goals in. Our defence was filled by two tall girls who are now learning to put there arms up and jump, when they do this the shooters from the other team get distracted and miss the shot. We have got two good centres and some other girls who play in the Wing Attack and Wing Defence positions. Our finnishing score for this week was four to nine.

Yet another game of netball was played on Monday, Sorelldodges played a great game. After we all had a bit of a practise the game started. First quarter was the best quarter for the game, our goal shooters managed to get many gaols in centre was very fast and our defence side was great also. The shooters shot about five goals that quarter and we were in lead. Second quarter we had some of our great players off and the other team mannaged to get a few goals. In third quarter our centre was very good but the other team kept up their winning strak. In our last quarter was again did an awesome job gaining a few goals and by that the ending score was 19 to 9 which was a great accievent for our team.

Remember in netball everyone has to work as a team, and that is what we did!
