Are you a couch potato well know for a fact that i’m not, i’m just too active for that, I do lots of different types of things to keep active like sport. I eat healthy (well most of the time), I have a very good appetite and I always eat big dinners I drink loads of water. I am pretty active I reckon more active than my parents were at the age that I am at now.

I play more sports than my parents did when they were at my age because I do lots like Gymnastics, Netball and I do PAL’s as well. I used to do way more than what I do now. I really enjoy these sports because it allows me to get more fit by running and reffing games in PAL’s. Running around in gymnastics is fun and doing 50 chest passes in netball. I just love sport and try to make it to every event so I can participate.

I eat healthy (Well most of the time) My parents also ate round about the same amount of nutritious food as what I am eating at the moment. I eat healthy food to absorb the nutrients and to keep active for when I get older. Nutrients is just like fibre lots of fruit and vegetables have nutrients inside it and I try to keep down on dairy food like cheese. My parents and I eat around the same amount of nutritious foods, I think Mum  ate just maybe a little healthier because every night she had like meat and vegetables when she was younger, they were not allowed to leave the table unless all there food was gone.

I drink roughly about the same amount of water as my parents did. As a sporty family we like to keep up the fluids. We love to play sports and now that we have my uncle living with us we love to play rugby. Me and my Mum we do shots at the netball goal at home and I practise gymnastics everywhere I can. I drink water to keep up with the sports I do and as in gymnastics I just recently moved up to level 5. Without keeping hydrated it makes me feel really sick, down and grumpy. I found out that 55% of the average human body should be water. You always sweat when you exercise the sweat is released water from your body so if you sweat too much you will get dehydrated.

Were you or your parents more active when they were your age, well that’s up to you to figure out. I definitely think that I was more active just because I keep up with my sport.

Little White Lies

Too terrified to look. Too afraid to peep. As I heard noises coming from that hole the builders made in our kitchen wall.  As I crept down the dark gloomy hallway I saw the staircase getting bigger and bigger as I got closer. I tiptoed down the stairs, I was scared that it would be a monster but I knew it wasn’t. There was a feeling inside me that reached into my brain and took every emotion except fear. I’m not a little kid any more, I have to be brave.

I snuck into the light and it was just my cat Candy, it was making weird noises scratching at the cover dad put over the hole. I saw the mess and saw all the bubbles from the dish soap flying everywhere from mum doing the dishes. “Mum, I heard a monster!”

“Come on Dan, it was just the insinkerator we were putting the food scraps from supper in the disposal.” I thought to myself it was just the disposal how was I afraid of that.

As I carried Candy back upstairs I heard Mum coming up stairs to tuck me up in bed again, I held Candy tighter as Mum left the room. Mum was in her bathrobe and I knew that that would be the case of her about to get in the shower.  As I drifted off to sleep I thought, “Tomorrow will be annoying because of the incident that happened last week at school…”  The morning came.   I woke up, got up, opened my curtains, put my bathrobe on and headed downstairs for breakfast. The cupboard creeked open as I turned the light on in the pantry and grabbed my fruit loops off the shelf. I sat at the kitchen counter and ate my breakfast. Before I knew it I was at school, I had to take the bus today because mum had an appointment at the salon for her hair.

As I walked through the gates to my school I had that memory of last night going through my head. The mean kid Jerry was standing right next to the gate and it looked like he was waiting for me. He was standing right next to the trash, there were flies all over him. It looked like he went dumpster diving. In class I could not stop thinking about the noises of last night they just seemed scarier than Candy scratching at the cover, “I have to go home and put Candy outside before she makes me scared again. So I raced home it felt like I got there faster than a heartbeat. Anyway I got back to class I was so late it was morning tea break…

Contempoary Craft Class.

I was over the moon when I went to a craft class called contemporary craft because I was excited that I got the chance to go. There were loads of people I did not know but eventually talked to them and became friends. It was here at the frimley school hall. I met a girl named Hannah she was very sweet she also did not know anyone, so it was perfect for everyone to help each other out and talk so that there would not be any lonely people. On the second day there were only girls and about two or three boys but on the first day there were about five or six boys. I enjoyed day one the most even though I stuffed up a few times.

Guess what my favourite thing at craft was… It was painting a canvas we each had to choose a canvas to paint and then choose the background colour my background was a paint called sugar and spice it was a sparkly darkish pink from resene. I chose to paint the background first because it was the easiest option. Then we chose our shape and the colours after I had a whole bunch of different shades of green for the leaves and for the body it was purple and blue (the purple and blue was also sparkly)can you guess what it was it was a pineapple not a yellow pineapple a funky geometric pineapple.

After that we moved on to key chains we rotated round table to succeed every activity. We painted these little wood beads and I chose a sparkly blue and a peach colour for the beads we hand painted each bead with tiny nail polish brushes. After you painted and dried them you put them on a key chain. I made three of the key chains. After we made them we moved on to the 3D fruits I did not get enough time to do the fruits so I helped tidy up.

I thought it was really fun from the experience that I had because we got to paint things from cups to canvases to plates and much more. I was a little frustrated because one of my porcelains did not turn out as perfect as I was hoping. I hope next time I can do the 3D lettering to hang above your bed on your wall I was sad I missed out. I enjoyed it and I hope I can do it again in the next school holidays because it was really enjoyable to go to considering I love arts and craft.
