  1. I danced on saturday morning for my classical ballet solo and got HC (highly commended) and then later on that day I done the same dance but I did'nt get a placing, the next morning I done my barefoot and got a C ( commended) I still have two more group dances. Next term I am going too the red school for ballet, jazz and hiphop dance.

  9. Just got back from Australia we came in at 12:30pm We were'nt very tired because it only felt like 9:30pm to us as Gold Coast is 3 hours behind New Zealand. I can't really remember all of the scores for the games because we played eight. I played for the senior team and in one game my partner was 17 years old, I only played six games because I got enjured in a game and pulled a muscle in my back, so then I had to be the water girl for the boys team :( The hottest it got over in Aus was 31 degrees but the rest of the time it was mainly raining :( The rides were awesome and Mickey made me go on the scary ones. Mickey and I went on the leathal weapon four times it was awesome and she made me go on the superman ride which had 4 g-force

  10. Hey guys it's Michael here. Turns out we didn't stay in Kaiapoi - we stayed in Christchurch. Anyway we left early Sunday morning on our long laugh filled trip to Christchurch and stopped at the Sheffield pie shop. YUMMMM. We got some pies while we were there because you can't go to a famous pie shop and not get pies! When we got to Christchurch we went straight to Rugby League Park to watch the U 15's South Island Rugby League team verse North Island Rugby League team. Two peaple from Greymouth played, Josh Costello and Tyler Waghorn. Anyway enough about other people let's hear about me! The second day we had an early game versing Coastline which we won 30-26. It was a very tough game but we won so thats the main thing. They did a Haka and it was pretty intimidating. Later on that day we were supposed to verse Manawatu but they pulled out so we won by default - but hey a wins a win. The day after that we versed Wellington . Whoah now they have some big players - we lost but I can't remember the score though. Later on that day we played against Waikato - we won but again I can't remember the score. Now wins-3 loses-1 . Hahha . We went to bed that night exhausted and then went straight to sleep. The next day we played against the leading team in the tournament, Canterbury. That was an embarrasing game with the score finishing at 64-16. We came third in the tournament and I think we did pretty well.!
