Model search 2012

As I was waiting in line my knees were wobbling, my heart was pounding and butterflies were fluttering around in my tummy like mad!  I was at the Model search at the Richmond Mall with about 45 other kids, including Bree and Savannah.  It was my turn! OH NO I screamed in my head.  As I started walking up my eyes were fixed on the judges. Then I heard a huge cheer coming out of the crowd saying "GO SOFIA''  Thats when I saw that it was Mum, Zac and Dad.  As I walked from one side to another I could feel my nervousness growing bigger and bigger than before.  When I walked off the catwalk I was relived and happy because I had done a good job !        
Then I thought how will Bree and Savannah do? One of my friends Elise came 1st, 2 times in a row.
After every one had their go we gathered in a bunch and listened.  Savannah's number was 32,  Bree's number was 19 and my number was11. We all listened very carefully as the numbers got called out, number 12, number 22, number 40, number 19.  Wow that was Bree's number!  She looked so excited as she walked up on stage to get her t-shirt they said she was in the final!  I was so happy for Bree that she got in the final and also for myself.  I think I did a great job.

Olympic Fever

Yesterday we watched this inspiring clip about a past olympic competitor.  It has a really powerful message about not giving up and always finishing what you start.  The Olympics will be our Inquiry focus for the first 5 weeks this term.


Falling off into the water!

I could hear his hooves pounding on the soft sand as we gathered more speed. We were going the fastest I had ever gone on a pony. I noticed that he was edging into the water. Then suddenly he shyed side ways into the silky sand.  Slowly a wave rolled in and he turn and galloped away. I could see the water rushing up to meet me I was waiting to hit the ground but I found myself being dragged through the water and let go of the reins. The water covered my face. I pulled myself out of the water my cloth's felt cold and heavy. I walked over to catch Danny Mum was running over to us. I was soaked to the skin. The water was about freezing! I gave Danny a pat I could fell sand sand up my back and my jodhpurs were heavy and wet. I was going to have to walk back to the horse float!
