The Rotary Challenge and my Country Talk

Friday 26th

Hi today I’m going to talk about last Friday .On Friday all the 7s in the cluster went to the rotary challenge. The rotary challenge is a event when all the classes mix together and get sorted into 16 groups. From my class there was Nathan and I. The first thing we did was blind tennis. We were playing with team 6 but they won. Next we had the go karting race, my team won that. Kim’s game was next, we got 19 out of 20 items from the box. Next we played port and starboard. This was when someone shouts port or starboard and you have to run in the direction that the man told you to go in. if you were last at the location you got put out. I had lots of fun that morning. In the afternoon we did the country talks my country this week was Nauru.  I found out lots of different facts I never knew before.

Induction day

On Monday all the p7s went to the high school for our first induction day. My house is Carron and my form class is 1C02. Our form class had three S2 buddies who showed us around the school. We went to the library to see the librarian and to all the different classes. Then it was break and during break we got to get something from the joint. After break we had to go back to our form class so we could go around the different classes. At lunch I had some food and then I went out to the astroturf to chat to my friends. When lunch was over we went back to the assembly hall to see some of the students preform.

My Easter Holidays

Over the Easter Holidays I went to Tullyallan Police Collage for Synchro Caledonia. When I arrived at the collage I was amazed how beautiful the old buildings were. Our first training session on Friday was a stamina set to see what level of swimming we were at. At the end of the day I was so tired.

On Saturday we had three pool sessions and two gym sessions. When we were in the pool we were working on our team routine and our figures for the two competitions we have down in England.

On Sunday we were going home. I was ready to go home but we still had two pool sessions and some yoga. The first thing I did when I got home was go to my bed to relax because I was all sore from the weekend.
