My Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday!
When I woke up I forgot it was my birthday and lay in bed thinking that it was going to be just another boring day. 
As soon as I walked into the classroom that morning Leo (whose desk is closest to the door) immediately started singing happy birthday, soon the whole class had joined in and as they were singing I looked at the boards and plastered all the way across both were signs saying 'Happy Birthday Georgie' and 'We love you Gege'. Soon I was laughing my head off.
Immediately someone asked me what I got but I was having my presents this afternoon.
When I got home I opened my presents. From Mum I got a book called 'Just Between Friends'. It has lots of different codes that you can talk to your friends in.
From Dad I got a mask and snorkel, and from Ellie I got a Smiggle voucher.
That night my cousins Bryony and Keller and my aunt Janis came for dinner. We had Mexican and pavlova! 
For my present they gave me a book on how to draw fairies. Bryony has one too.
I really enjoyed my 11th birthday and I can't wait for my party!

Winter Tournament

We have to write about the winter tournament using the 6 De Bono hats.

White hat:

The day before yesterday was the winter tournament!

The choices of sports were: hockey, netball, soccer, mini ball, volleyball and table tennis. I played netball. Our team was Ella, Hannah, Joey, Kezia, Isi, Evie, Stella, Gracie, Ruby and I.

Yellow hat:

We won every game we played! The first game we played was 12-nil to us!
Red hat:
I had so much fun!!! But I'm going to play netball at the next winter tournament, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, and the next...
Green hat:
 I think maybe next time we should have less people on our team so that less people have to sub off which means we could get to play more.
Black hat: 

  I got a bit confused about the rules since I'm not a proper player.

Some of the teams were hard to beat.

Blue hat:

We won all our games and it was so fun!

Mathletics

We are allowed a trial run for Mathletics for a week! It officially starts next week but we're on it already. I haven't actually had a chance to try it yet but I will as soon as I finish this post.

I like Matheletics because you can design your own portrait to play by and you can buy new stuff with the points that you earn by doing maths tests.

I also like the way that the tests are  all international. You can play people from all over the world!

Matheletics is cool because it has lots of different types of tests that you can do and there are tricks to getting lots of points. 

I'm going to finish up now so that I can go on it. You should check it out for yourself!!

Bye! :)

Mice

Today in class we voted for a person to go and get the mice from Nature Land with Dave at lunch time. Stella won.
When we were playing 4 square at lunch time today I saw Stella coming back with a mouse cage in her hand. I rushed into the classroom to see the mice. There were two females and one male. The male is long haired and has creamy brown splotches on his white coat. His name is Flip.
The short haired brown female is called Oats. The other female (my personal favourite) is called Inky. She is long haired and has dark grey blotches on her back, sides and base of her tail. She has white fur.
We mucked around with the mice a bit at first since the bell hadn't rung and one ran up Hannah's sleeve! Once the bell rang we swiftly placed the mice in their cage before the shouting stampede of rampaging children came hurtling through the door. The race to wash hands again.
Dave told us to form a circle on the mat and Stella brought the mice to the mat one by one for us to pass around. I didn't get a go with the short haired brown female though. :(  They were so sweet the way the scampered over your hands, up your arms and onto your neck.
Then we put the mice back and had the vote for the names. We decided on Flip, Oats and Inky.

I hope I'm not allergic to mice.

Lemonade Making

Today in class we made fizzy lemonade! We all had to bring in empty fizzy drink bottles and lemons. then we paired up to make the actual lemonade. My partner was Ella. The first pair went with Dave to learn how to make it, then they go and got another pair and taught them to make lemonade. Then the second pair taught a third pair and so on...

This is how we made it:

First we juiced three lemons and cleaned the bottle. Then we poured one cup of sugar into a measuring jug which we filled with boiling water to the two and a half cup mark then we stirred it, when it dissolved we poured cold water to the top of the measuring jug and the sugar water goes into the bottle. Next we poured half the lemon juice into the bottle, then a quarter of a teaspoon of yeast and the rest of the lemon juice. We gave the bottle a good shake and went to get the next group.

I can't wait to try it!

My Favourite Person

I'm not going to tell you my favourite person's name, but I am going to tell you about them and their character....

My favorite person is very posh. They always wear a feather boa and they have a white poodle called Pooffles!

My favourite person lives in a fancy mansion in Vienna. The room next to hers is for all her stilettos! She has 3000 in total. Now there's the ones for funerals, and the Monday pair and the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and the Saturday pairs. Of course she has her Sunday whites. My favourite pair is the pink ones with glitter on them! She uses them for my birthday parties.

She has lots of servants that bring her pancakes in bed for breakfast! Plus she has pots of money and always buys me these over rated ornaments.

One time I invited her to the A and P show and she had to leave at once because she said that the smell would make her faint. As she was walking out of the gates she fell into the mud and her chauffeur had to help her to her limo. OK she's not that rich but she thought this was a special occasion so of course she had to rent a limo.

AND THE WORST PART IS THAT SHE  ASKS ME TO CALL HER AUNTIE CH-whoops! Nearly gave her name away. Anyway that's enough.

Bye. By Georgie. :)
