I am really excited for 2014 and what it has in store for me! This year I'm in a BYOD (bring your own device) class which means everyone in my class has their own iPad that they bring to school each day. After doing some research I have realised how far technology has come over the past few years. I am also really looking forwards to Yr 6 camp which is going to be heaps of fun! We are going to Okains bay for three nights and four days and are tenting all three nights. Surely that's something to look forward to!
I have a lot of hobbies and things that interest me. First of all I really enjoy dancing because it is a way of expressing myself through movement. This year I am taking lessons in ballet, contemporary and stretch/pilates. Throughout the year I will be entering various competitions for ballet, possibly contemporary and hopefully by the end of of the year I will have reached a high enough level to sit the RAD (royal academy of dance) grade 5 exam for ballet. As well as expressing myself through dancing I like to express my feelings through music. This year I am learning both the flute and the piano for my fourth year. I am also hoping to take part in group lessons such as recorder ensemble, instrumental group and choir. One part of music that I really enjoy is that I have the freedom to compose my own pieces and songs. Another thing I like to do in my free time is make lots of arts and crafts things - a nice relaxing thing to do, espiecally on a rainy day!
Hi Sophie! I really like dancing too! What grade are you?
ReplyDeleteHi Madeline, I'm RAD grade 5 this year. I said that in my post!!! What grade are you?
DeleteHi Preethi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Okains Bay is about 10 kilometres from the main town on the Banks Peninsula, Akaroa.
Hi Sophie. I love the new background you have picked. It reminds me of lavender plants. It sounds like your hobbies must keep you very busy. Do you have a favourite craft you like to do? I love using coloured craft papers & glitters best. Some day I want to make my own paintings to hang in the lounge. Keep up the great Blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Cherida,
DeleteOne of my favourite crafts is cardmaking. I like using craft paper and ribbons rather than just drawing on the card. It's more my style and I find it more fun than drawing partly because you get to make more mess that way! I'm glad you like my background. I think that the purple and the aqua contrast nicely.
Hello Sophie what grade are you in dancing I will take a guess 4
ReplyDeleteHi Te Aroha,
DeleteYou were very close, I am grade 5 for ballet and I just do contemporary for fun - I am not sitting an exam for contemporary. Next time please make sure you read the other comments before posting your comment to make sure that your question hasn't already been answered but thanks for your comment anyway!
