Mission Day 2024 September 13

On Friday 13th of September 2024 it was Mission Day! I was so excited! Some classes made stands of their own and others made stands that their classes were going to use to try and raise money for Holy Angels orphanage in India.

 We also got to wear mufti. We were supposed to pay one dollar to wear mufti but we didn’t have to because our teacher paid for us. I think we were the luckiest class, because all the other classes had to pay except for Room 6! 

Then we had morning tea time early and some stands were already open. I went to buy a crocheted key chain. It was 2 dollars. I bought a rainbow bee, it was adorable! Then I bought some orange juice for one dollar. 

Then it was finally time to set up our fishing stand! We took turns so we could all buy something as well. At lunch time we got some sausages. After we ate the sausages, me and Samantha played with a balloon. We tried not to let it fall. Then when lunch time was over we watched a movie. The name was Pete’s Dragon. While we were watching it we had some popsicles. After we ate the popsicles we were allowed to eat the rest of our candy. It was the best day ever!

Cycling Day

Last Thursday morning we were so lucky to be taught how to ride a bike with no training wheels. But I felt petrified!

Stephanie and Lucy, the bike coaches came to our school to teach us how to ride a bicycle. They split us into groups – Carrot and Broccoli groups. I was in the Broccoli group with Stephanie. I have never ridden a bike with no training wheels before so I went to the canopy to practise riding a bike. The people who were not confident had to go under the canopy. We were taught how to do scooting and learned how to  balance for a little bit. We kept doing it again and again until the bell rang for morning tea. 

After morning tea, we continued learning how to scoot and balance on the bike. Then I felt that my bottom, was more painful than falling down the biggest mountain with rocks on my landing.  Lucky that we were allowed to go for breaks. I decided to eat some oranges. They were so sweet that I thought that they were sweeter than sugar! I could not stop eating the oranges! 

The best part of the day was when I finally got off the bike after almost falling for about 4, 5 or 6 times 🙂

In the future I would like to be able to cycle properly so I could ride to places. 🙂 :> :3

On Wednesday I didn’t come to school because I had a ballet exam. The examiner’s name was Mrs. LG.

Mrs Chandler, the owner of the ballet dance academy told our parents beforehand to bring hairspray, hairbrushes,  hairpins, and hair ties. When it was my turn, I had to go to the table and sit down and give Mrs. Chandler all  the stuff that she required from us. When Mrs. Chandler started doing my hair,  it was painful! It felt like all of my hair was about to come off.  My friends also felt the same too.  One of my friends touched our heads and found out that my hair was the hardest and  very stiff. I think Mrs. Chandler used too much hairspray on my hair!

Then we were each given a number so  Mrs. LG would know who’s going first, second and so on.  I was number two to do the exam. I was petrified!!! I was so nervous I felt that I was going to have a panic attack! To calm my nervousness,  I just pretended that I was okay.  When the bell  rang, we all entered the classroom and Mrs.  LG greeted us and we curtsied to return her greetings.

We did the plies, battement tendu then preparation for Battement tendu. We got ready for fondus and hide and seek dance steps.  We had to do a character and a reference dance. After we did all the dances, the exam was over.  Mrs. LG asked us what we were going to do now.  I told her that I was going back home to read a comic book.  My friends had to go back to school but I didn’t because I had to wash my hair as there was too much hairspray in it.

At night time, my auntie made brownies with ice cream as a treat for doing my ballet exam. Everyone ate some. Unfortunately, it was getting late so I had to go to bed for school the next day.

I chose to research Rebeca Andrade who is a Brazilian athlete competing at the Paris Olympics 2024. She’s 25 years old and she does gymnastics at the Olympics. She has won 3 bronze medals, 1 silver and 2 gold medals in her career. She actually won a gold medal for Brazil on 29 July at these Olympics. Rebeca Andrade weighs 45 kg and she was born on 8 May 1999 and her height  is 1.55 m and she has completed three Olympics.

Keith Haring was an American artist who drew simple outlines of people and I chose to do my gymnast. I enjoyed creating my gymnast.

During this international language week, I researched my country, my culture and my language. I come from Brazil, e eu amo brasil.
