Good morning from New Zealand, blog readers!
You should expect me to not update for five days which are Monday-Friday.
The reason is that I will be (are you ready?) going to Yr six camp.
Every year at my school seniors go to camp (Yr fives three days, Yr sixes five days)
The Yr five camp just ended yesterday and now it is the for the Yr sixe's turn!
Believe it or not, I am NOT excited. I'm scared.
Last year's camp was horrible because I had a fight there with my best friend (not Sam. We met after camp) and everything was not the way I planned it would be, so I think it will be like that with my dorm mates, Te Mania, the two Sams and my other two friends who shall be unnamed.
Anyway, I have all of my gear packed and I'm all ready to go!

Get Active! (Part two) (23/11/12)
Today we did the same things as yesterday but I said that I would explain the two games, the box game and Ti Uru.
The box game:
Set-up: Make a box with markers, cones, etc.
Objective: While riding bikes, avoid touching the ground with your foot, bumping or falling off.
How many players: Five-ten
Ti Uru is an old traditional Maori game.
Set-up: One small circle inside a big circle. Made by using markers, cones, etc. and one barrel inside the small circle.
Objective: One teams moves around outside the circle throwing a ball at the barrel while another team is defending the barrel.
How many players: Five or more (we played it with my class and another so there were probably 30 people)

Get Active! (22/11/12)
Biking, catching, throwing, balancing- oh, the possibilities are endless.
Today my class and another one had such a busy day excersizing that when we were finished we all collapsed to the floor.
First up was traditional Maori games. There were two men that taught us how to play games that the Maoris played. The first game that we played was called Mitimiti.The objective of the game is to lay out sticks and lay one stick in the center then place other sticks to form a horizontal mat then try to avoid stepping on the sticks. I think we played it five to six times. After that game was finished we played Ti Uru (you can find it out yourself, I'm tired of explaining now).
We played a couple of hand games then it was time for lunch.
Lunch was over and it was time to put on your helmet and head to the court with your bike.
When we arrived at the court there were three men who taught us some games to play with your bike. They taught us to scoot, ride in zig-zags, check our bike and helmet and taught us this bike game called the 'box game' (once again, I'm tired to explain but I will explain tomorrow).
"They make us do hard things and it's too hot to excersize." Samantha E moaned.
Luckily, the home time bell rang and we all ran off to our homes to relax and rest.

Dizziness (17/11/12)
Yesterday was HORRIBLE. I had a sore stoumach and dizziness. I was at church and then I had to get out because it was too loud and I couldn't stand up in less than one minute, and after church I had to co-MC for this 'assembly' thing. The pain faded for a little while but I returned a few minutes later.
When I got home The first thing I did was to collapse on my bed and boy it felt good to take a rest on a very painful and dizzy day.
Now I feel better on this day! Thank goodness I have recovered form the dizziness.

Marian's Everyday Life- Posting from school! Pt. 2 (9/11/12)
In my last post I was posting in school today.
I said that I will be posting when I arrive home so here I am (actually it's 8:10 now) to continue telling you about what I did today.
After assembly we had Golden Time and it was free time so I went on the computer and typed up random short stories that just popped into my head.
Lunchtime! we ate and I walked around the school (if you're wondering what my three friends were doing, they were playing on the playground and I told them I wasn't in the mood for playing).
After lunchtime I was feeling a little bit dizy but I still had some energy left in my body and drew some puppets for a puppet show. (my teacher sent my classmates and I to do a task about puppetry. You can see the explanation here.) After which seemed like 1,000 years, it was hometime. I immediately collapsed onto my bed and took a rest.

Marian's Everyday Life- Posting from school! (9/11/12)
Hello fellow bloggers,
Today I am at school! It's free time now (actually, all of the school are at assembly now and my teacher randomly let me go on the computer) and there was nothing to do from here except go on the computer and blog.
It's nearly noon, but I'll just post what I did so far today:
In the morning, my teacher told my whole class and I that we had to make a puppet show about a saint or a bible story. My classmates and I wrote the scripts, a sketch of our characters and the storyline. I'm doing the story of St. Maria Goretti of how she lived and how she died.
That's about it. When I go home today, I'm going to tell you the rest of how my Friday went.
Bye!

Jigwig (5/11/12)
Hello November! Sorry I haven't posted 6 days in a row. I have been doing nothing. Anyway, I have finally done something blog-worthy. Enjoy this post!
Samantha I. has created a new game called Jigwig. It is played on a playground (I don't know what the part of the playground is but it has four leather-covered chains) (two below to stand on and two above your head to hold on) and the objective of the game is to wiggle your legs to knock off people (but make sure the ground is soft, not concrete) and last one standing is the winner. You need at least 3-5 players. (You can play by yourself but it would be boring and dull without your pals.)
Well, guess who kept on falling off and guess who won? Samantha E. kept on falling off cracking up and Te Mania was the winner, while the other Samantha and me win and fall off at the same time. (How is it possible? Well, you see, you would be the last one standing then Samantha E. pulls you off and cracks up the entire time.)
We all laughed like little juniors and didn't stop playing the game until the bell rang.
KABOOM!
Okay bye.
