athletics...

August 19th 2005

Dear diary I have athletics next week but … I have to vs the fastest people in championships trials  I hope that i come first to beat their record and I will be famous …… wish me luck diary!!!

As I walk to the courts to practise my sprints alone  I see someone running as fast as they can practising around the field I knew it , it was usain bolt he's the world's best runner and i'm competing with him in the championships I  thought to myself as he sprints  past me knocking of my socks  how am I gonna beat him ?? I start sprinting to show off but he was still faster … I started walking back home thinking that I should just drop out of champs.

I hear someone's footsteps outside of my window I jump out to see who it was … I move the curtain slightly aside and a picture  of usain bolt beating me in the sprints popped up and that's what I see at everything I look at it brings me down but I won't let it.

I go out to the courts again to practise I see usain bolt but I  threw my chin up and started working out and I new that if I can dream anything I have to make it instead of thinking I ran up and down the courts as fast as I could .

Dear diary tomorrow is the big day and I need to beat usain bolt because that's my dream I hope that my dream comes true wish be the best luck in the whole entire world.

HHHHHH deep breaths mum said. In my head “ I Can do it” just pops up non stop I eat my healthy breakfast nervously I cross my fingers and toes ready to rock that field mum calls out let's go you're gonna be late I meandered to the car so I don't lose my energy.

OOOOOH here we go after I  do all of my other sport and I look over to the sprints course my chills just creep up my spine  slowly with a nervous look on my face they call out our names and tell us to each be in a lane  they get us prepared and they call out…….

ON YOUR MARK GET SET GOOOOO”

I run as fast as I can pumping my small arms up and down I just had to look back and I  see usain bolt catching up but I sprint as hard as ever like there was a big giant chocolate bar that is 1 m tall at the finish line. I kept on going as hard as ever and made it to the finish line I can't believe my dream came true I just realized that if you wanna do something you have to make it instead of giving up.

I felt proud getting that gold medal.

Band camp

On Friday 28 th of October  the C.S.N.S Band aka ‘Unravelled Chords’ travelled to a musical wonderland ‘The Stomach’ for a day of workshops along with bands from Ross Intermediate, Roslyn, Mt Biggs, Russell Street and Monrad Intermediate.

As we waited for the bus were all nervous because we had never met any of the other children. We saw the bus approaching and chills crawled down our spines, but once we stepped in the bus everyone was clapping and welcoming us in.

The bus came to a halt at a extravagant white building. As soon as we stepped into The Stomach our eyes were attracted to an orange wall scattered with eye catching musical designs. After we had our introductions, the day was ready to rock!

Firstly we broke into our instrumental groups with the kids from other schools who played the same instrument as us. Our musical tutors took us on the adventure. We learned some technical and performance tricks to make our performances even better.

Boom , crash ! The notes of the keyboards filled the air. The Guitarists strummed away on their guitars, the drums and pulsed, the bassists learned their fretwork alphabet, while the vocalists sang in harmony.

After lunch we did some songwriting workshops. We were introduced to the circle of fifths to help us with putting chords together so the chords sounded marvelous. Each group wrote a song with their tutor and teachers. It was pretty amazing hearing how talented everyone is. Time flew by so quickly.

After the musical journey at the Stomach, we scampered back onto the bus, buzzing with excitement. Although, the journey was not over yet. On the way back to school we had a karaoke session - the bus driver said it was the most entertaining character he had ever taken!

It is sooo awesome that we got to meet all of the other kids that are musicians. We learnt a lot about our instruments and sound engineering. We can’t wait to put all the things into our next performances!

Global warning

Global warming is a major worldwide issue and is affecting the world and humans! I believe that it must be stopped because if it isn't the world would look like know one cares about it . There would be no Animals no trees, an ugly world! WE must do something to stop global warming!

Did you know vehicles cause global warming?

Did you know the cars, planes and every vehicle that uses gas causes global warming. The fumes coming out of a car is from the gas and it makes the air warm. Because there are millions of cars it causes lots of warm air so that's how global warming is starting. Scientist are constantly thinking of ways to prevent global warming. Inventing electric charged/power cars, so you charge overnight and use it without gas.

Animal’s losing homes!

Because  the air is  so warm it melts the ice and the ice turns  into water.  The water  keeps on rising every time the ice melts . If  we get rid of cars would that help the animals? The trees eat the carbon dioxide and then people cut them down and then it causes deforestation!

FACTORIES!

Factories cause global warming by their fumes  coming out of the tubes. The fumes makes the air hotter and hotter, because the fumes are warm.

People don't care!

Some people don't care about global warming  and they worry about themselves.

If you care about Global warming and you want to stop it here are some things  to help stop 1: plant more trees 2: turn off electronics when you don't need and do the right thing to help the world.
