For my sport I have done swimming for an entire season well actually I have been swimming since I was 4 and I am still swimming now at the age of 12.I swim competitively with my swim club.
I really enjoy swimming and it is also a good sport to keep up my fitness.
I swim 3-5 days a week if I dont have anything on.
I also do netball and I have been doing that for 4 years.When I tried out for the netball team I got into to the C grade which is the top.Netball is such a great sport and a great team sport it is so much fun.
With all of these sports I played volley ball for 3 years.When I entered volley ball at this school I decided to do kiwi because it was on a thursday which was good.My team was great and we all had so much fun and enjoyed playing together as a team.

My favourite pet in the world!!!!

Myspace Banner Generator This is my cat Mesha she is black and white and she has a great personality.We got her on Whitangie 2012 from kiwi pets.As soon as my brother and I saw her in the cage we knew that we had to get her.
She was $40 my brother and I paid $20 each.In the ride home in the car she was scratching and growling in the box she was in.When we got her home she went made running up and down the walls not literally.She clawed the leather seats and couches but when my brother made a cat scratching pole she fall in love with it and stop scratching the seats which was good for my mum and dad because they hated her scratching the leather.Now today she loves living with us and we love having her in our family,she is such a joy!!!

In the weekend I went to Taupo for a swimming meet.I swam in five events they were:50 free, 50 back, 50 breast, 100IM and also 100 free.It was such a fun weekend I went with my friend Nicole and her mum and brother Travis,we also had some other swimmers to.
On the Saturday was they day we swam to try and get into the finals.Which the finals were on the Sunday.I was so surprised when I had found out that I got into the finals for 50 breast stroke.I was going great in my race but after my race I found out that I got disqualified for moving on the diving blocks to early before the whistle which was a bummer.Over all it was such a fun weekend everybody swam well and on the way we were aloud to get KFC because we got into the finals, and man was it good LOL hahahahahahha!!!!

MY WEEKEND:

On the weekend I taught Nicoles brother Travis a dance he was a bit slow on the learning LOL here are some photos I tool of him dancing.The song he danced to was the ceiling cant hold us by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis it took him about an hour to learn it but by the time we were done he was a natural at dancing!

During one stage of the dance he had to spin repeatedly in circles and he hit his head on the door it was so funny.But it wasn't just me who taught him the dance it was also my friend Nicole.Nicole and I had so much fun teaching travis the dance. 

This is him dancing LOL hahahahahahahah

 

At the beach with Nicole and Travis

Before we had started the 20 hour famine we went to the beach for fish and chips YUM YUM!!!
While we were there we played in the sand these photos show Nicoles brother Travis being a mermaid and also him digging like a dog for a sand castle we were making LOL!!!
We all had such a great time making sand castles and digging in the sand.
But the water was extremely cold cant wait for summer to come back.

Home work task The 40 hour famine

On the long weekend me and my friend did the 40 hour famine.
We decided to sleep in a box at the start I thought that it would be great fun but after a couple of hours I was so tempted to get out.We joined the red team and we raised $54.30.
Here are some photos I took during setting up..........

My box it is a bit of a fail  but it look ok in side i think....

 Now this is my tech stuff that I need to keep me entertain (my laptop,alarm clock and ipod)

 This is my lunch box I had made so I didn't get hungry

This is the red team who we joined 

We sleept in a box one sort of like this ps.it was no comfy!!!

I have now finished the 40 hour famine at 1.00pm It was so fun sleeping in a box and also getting to make the boxes.The only dumb thing was that the box keeped braking in the night and then in the morning the box was demented.It was such a fun time and Nicole and I will be getting our money after school during the week.

Swim non stop 1000m

On Wednesday night at five o clock, all the kids that arrived at swimming didn't know that they had long distance swim.Only a couple of my friends and I new so we were all well prepared. My coach Paul told us all when we were all in the water so that we couldn't pull out and go home. Everyone didn't want to do it so they hardly tried.

When I started my heart was pumping hard out I thought that I would forget to count or my goggles would leak. Once I was about half way there I thought that it wasn't hard but I was mistaken it was very hard. The temperature of the pool didn't help either it was really hot. My arms were starting to get weaker and weaker but then I remembered that I only had another 50meters to go.

Once I was done I was red in the face and puffing hard my time was about 20-25 minutes long which was very good because some kids didn't even make it and in the end it felt a lot easier then the last time I had done it because I was fitter and stronger.
