To get our creative writing back Mr Bell put on some images for us to make stories about.

I was walking down the path leading to the woods, The muddy ground sticking beneath my boots. The stars shining giving light throughout the path leading to Assyria,  my foolish but young self not knowing where to go.

“It’s been so long..why can’t I reach Sycamore yet?” as she takes one more step something lightly pushes her, like it was trying to prevent her from coming even further, “Delta.. Delta!”.

I jolted up in a cold sweat finally waking up from that dream. “Hurry up! we have to get water from the well.”                   “As you know, I’m sick, why can’t I just have a break for once?” Cian sighs “ok, so? I’m also tired as well. even all the other slaves are tired.” I groan with a tired face “Fine fine, I’ll work.. “I groan as I get up from the bed. “oh hey, Cian isn’t my -” Run, run! for your lives, Isfet has come to bring chaos upon the world again!  “Hey! what’s happening, and who’s Isfet?” Before someone could answer a huge ball of  meteor looking things hit the place causing pain to the people who got hit from it. 

Yesterday we had a cycling experience for years 5 & 6’s. We had to leave as soon as the bell rang but Ms Kyle kept holding us back because some students were “misbehaving” so we couldn’t get to the bench and had to sit on the ground. The instructors that were gonna teach us were Lucy and Stephanie but before that Lucy showed us how to check if our helmets and bikes were working properly and if it would keep us safe, while Ms Agnew and Ms Kyle were being taught  for a bit from Stephanie.

After that we were split into the teams now that we’re named by our favorite vegetables, the names were broccoli and carrots. I was with Stephanie, then we picked our bikes and got our helmets and went to the top court to practice for a bit but first we had first had to do the safety check then. But I was having trouble on how to set my height seat and why it was moved side to side and turns out that it just wasn’t secured properly then Stephanie asked us to go to Ms Agnew if we were not that confident and not much left then 3 people. After that we lined up in a line by the yellow line and lined up in a line to play a game, the game was just like follow the leader game. Stephanie would lead us and we would follow the person in front of us, after that we practiced on how to do brakes and how we would stop exactly on the yellow line. I’m pretty sure that the boy’s team won that game, I’m not really sure about the other games but we had to move to Lucy because there were apparently a lot of people that were cycling last year and not many people could fit in the canopy from what I heard. When we arrived Lucy was just teaching the other group on some stuff about gears and things like that so we just put our bikes down and just waited in for our turn while Lucy and Stephanie were talking about what happened and asked if she was alright about this, then Lucy agreed and told us about the gears as well and on what we were going to do and we’re gonna know how to change gears when were riding around, then Lucy told us that we had to change gears while cycling or else the chain might break. After that Stephanie left us with Lucy to teach the others, but she would check on us from time to time.

Lucy then set up some cones to test our control over our bikes and a square cone to show when we would stop, she told us to count for 5 seconds but slowly to not get crowded but there was a bit of a problem when the line started to get long and crowded so we had to count around like 7 seconds and more slowly so people could stop without having to worry about, after that we did a race into 2 teams where we would do signals with our hands, and stop in a box. Then we switched teams but while we were doing it we found out that Lucy was gen z and actually had a nice time and sadly the last game we were gonna play was like a race but whoever got to the finish line lost it was pretty fun and Lucy also played the last round which was really fun and then after that we had free time to play for a few minutes and had to set our gears back into 1 or 2 and said bye to Lucy and Stephanie.

It was a really great time.

Last week on Wednesday we had a Rippa tournament located in Dunkirk Park and left school around 8:30am with our belts. It was kind of a long walk but not too long to make you tired, We had arrived around quarter past 9 setting up our mats and trained a bit until the first match was on against year 7 and 8 teams. But before our own match we watched the other team to know what we should try work on.

Then the horn sounded around 11:40 meaning it was now our turn to play. The first school we were against was Panama Road school, at field 1. But I can’t really remember anything except how the tags were big and annoying. And the school that won was Panama Road scoring more then us.

right after the round we had a bit of time to rest and prepare for the next game. But a funny thing happened when I was with my friend, Olivia walking to the public bathroom since we weren’t allowed to go along for obvious reasons, but back to point. When we were walking we came across 2 boys from a school and they yelled out “GYATT dang”. Which was really awkward but we just laughed at it of. Then right after we came inside the bathroom it looked really nasty and smelt a bit nasty.

The next horn blared so we ran in a hurry making sure we wouldn’t be late, then we finally got some good tags, after the game we did the cheering thingy and lined up to congratulate each other. But I was really caught up on the game that I forgot to count up all the scores.

after that we took a calming break to refresh our energy, then around 12:20 we versed Stanhope students were really good at Rippa rugby especially this one person that kept scoring so many tries. So obviously Stanhope school won.

We took a long break and watched the year 7 and 8 teams play but maybe 5 minutes after one of the schools tent came loose and started to flew right out almost hitting the other tent, making all the students and teacher run after it making it stop. But luckily they managed to stop it and maybe put it back more secured.

After that it was our last match and were against Pt England school, while playing Graziel scored so many tries and streaks away, as well as Olivia scoring a try which I’m really happy for them. After the last match we did the regular cheering lined up congratulated each other and waited for the others to finish then took a school photo for memories and packed up, said at the end of the days prayers and left around 2 o Clock.

here is the school photo!
