Are you ready to cross the country with cross country?

On the 2nd of May 2019 I went to Walter Park to do Cross Country. I was so nervous. We had to wait for 2 hours and 55 minutes. I cheered so many people on my throat hurt afterwards!!! We were allowed to bring a sketch pad or a book or like something to do thats not anything to do with technology. Then after we waited at least 2 hours and 30 minutes, we gathered around miss Hanson, and she told us to run to the soccer scorer thingymajigy and then back again. next we formed a circle and did some stretches. I cant remember what anyone of them were apart from lunges. Once we finished we walked over to where we had to stand when we were waiting to race. We waited about five minutes and then we could start racing. Miss Hanson said "Ready? Set? Go!!" me and Elise started off slow and I ended slow, to be honest i think everybody ended at least a bit slow unless they were Caoimhe. Anyways, we ran and ran for 2 km. It was really hard. I got a stitch and slowed down. I ran to Mimi and we stayed together for the rest of the time. If I hadn't had a stitch then I would of come 3 of 4th or something close to that. Caoimhe made it to 1st place, Elise got 2nd, and Ariella got 3rd. I forgot who got 4th, 5th and 6th. 

Have you ever ran cross country?

How can we save the environment?!

                     How Can WE Save The Environment  

On Tuesday the 7th of may Erica Lingard came into Tumu hub. She talked about how we can change the planet. We learnt that she owns a shop called EcoMe. The first thing she showed us was stainless steel reusable clips. They are called Forever Pegs.  

FUN FACT: You Can Put Used Slimy Old Pizza Boxes In The Green Bin!!!

Next she showed us her stainless steel straws. The straws all come in mostly different colors. the colors were Rose Gold, Red, Orange, Black, Green And Blue. That's all the colors i Can remember. The next thing she showed us were shopping bags. You can put vegetables in them.

Newspaper Clothes!!!!

Hi!! My name is Corinne and my hub made NEWSPAPER CLOTHES!!!!! We had to make: 2 jackets, 1 pair of pants, and a skirt. We had quite a few problems (making clothes out of newspaper is rather hard, I have to say). The people in my group were Elise E, Lara S, Lucas C and Lewis C. I made the pair of pants, Elise made the jacket, Lucas and Lewis made hats, and Lara made a mini skirt. Our team was really awesome. For example I would give an idea and then all the other people would say "yeah sure" they were so positive about everything, or someone would give a suggestion and if it was bad they wouldn't be mean about it,  they would say "well that might not work, its good and all but I think we should do this instead." and I could definitely go in that group again.

It was really stressful because we only had 50 minutes. I was so stressed. We had a bunch of problems and they were: So I tried to sit down and... I ripped them. (if you  don't remember what I made, I made pants.) I only ripped them a wee bit but I still ripped them. This is kind of what I looked like: Prototype I think I did pretty well (not to be braggy) Anyways, I hope you enjoyed reading my post. 

Have you ever made newspaper clothes? Or were you ever is a situation where you needed to?

Winter Sports Netball

For our school's winter sports I chose to do netball. There were four choices; those were: Netball, Hockey, Soccer and football. I had so much fun and my team didn't need me...
The first day we played, the weather was very windy, cold, rainy and cloudy. I got hit on the leg with a big fat leaf. The leaf was huge and it really hurt!!!! Anyways continuing with my story... So the people who were in my team were: Zoe N, Sophie N, Elise E, Claudia G, Mimi V, Lily M, and me, Corinne.
My favorite part about Winter Sports were: walking to the courts, the bus rides, having fun, playing netball, trying to win and meeting new players/ the people on the other teams. I  think we should add netball to fitness, so when we go out to do it we can play.
My team was so good and they were kind to the other players. They all had great sportsmanship. I was always happy to play and my team was great.
I got player of the day only once; and that was for defending. My favorite position to play was Attack.  I think our team did pretty well.

If you did Winter sports what would you choose to play?
