My Term 3 Timetable

This is my timetable for term 3, I'm trying very hard to reach all my goals, especially for my reading. I've been reading 1 hour every night, doing 2-3 key into Evaluation every week, also doing 40 minutes of steps almost everyday!
After every session I try my hardest to remember that I have to colour code my session.
Red=I haven't tried that hard :(
Orange= okay:|
Green=I complete this lesson really well:)
It depends on our Reading & Writing group, so everyone's timetable is different!
I'm most excited for William Pike Challenge award which we are doing bush survival skills day, Cantamaths and Digi Awards.

A few weeks ago Rimu class went to the Air Force  Museum, when we came back we had to create a project on what we learnt. Katie, Jorja, Gus, Jesse and I made a movie about Jim Maton, because he was really outstanding also he was the youngest person to go to war. Enjoy!:)

Rock Climbing

On Monday, Rimu class did our 2nd William Pike Challenge. This time we did rock climbing at CattleStop Crag. Thanks to the parents and teacher who transported us to the rock!! Jorja, Shukoor, Tim and I were in Mrs Royfee’’s car. After a while when we finally got up the hill, when we were parking it looked like we nearly drove off the hill, and we thought Mrs Royfee was a crazy driver. We all freaked out meanwhile Tim, Shukoor and I looked like a twisted pretzel, all tangled up!

We hopped out of the car and it was FREEZING, it felt like - 12 degrees! Especially when some of us were wearing shorts ( Me -LOL). Back to the story - we gathered together and met our instructors Steven and Josh. The view up there was AMAZING - you could see the whole of Christchurch in one sight! When we got to the top we could also see Castle Rock and the gondola.  

Firstly we had to walk down a set of stairs created from big rocks, that was really cool. After that we had to walk on a dirt trail that led us to the rock to climb on. There were a lot of steep dips around, Josh and Steven asked us a little bit about the William Pike Challenge. Then they sent a few people from our class to the abseiling rock.

I was the 2nd group who went to the abseiling rock, But before that we visited the jandel wall. The wall that we were rock climbing on. The rock had 4 different parts to it. The very right one was the easiest and the more to the left the more advanced it was. I felt really nervous at first so I decided to try the easiest one first. I never knew I could get to the top, this made me really confident to climb the rest. However it was my turn to go to the abseiling, so we went through the dirt trail again back to the abseiling rock.

From the bottom it didn’t look that high, But when you got up there you could not see the bottom because of a rock that was blocking the way. But it’s was one of the scariest thing that I have done! But I don’t regret it I’m really glad that I tried something that I’m afraid of. After abseiling we headed back to the jandel wall and I tried to climb the hardest which was the last wall but i keep falling over. Meanwhile everyone was starting to pack up so I had to come down. But if I can go back I would really want to finish that rock!

              Little Yellow Airplane 

Today was Thursday which means that I have to go to Violin class. I loves playing the Violin it's one of my favourite hobby's. Every Thursday is always a rush day, because Mum would have to pick me up from school and then head straight to the Volin school. As usual I would sit in the back of the car and look at the view. Today something really caught my attention, a yellow airplane swept through the sky and towards a bird. Suddenly he opened his big mouth and...
