I went in my dads car to Albury. I got a haircut at the Barbers, I told the girl I would like a fade cut. Then I went to target to look at shirts for the upcoming wedding. After we got sushi which smelt and tasted so good. On the way home we saw a huge kangaroo on the side of the road. At the weir we took out the boat and tube.
On the weekend I went to the Man from Snowy River festival. I was with my family. First we got pink hats with lots of sparkles. It was so cool to wear.
Next we had fairy floss. I didn't love it it. It was colourful and squishy.
Finally the horse race started.
On Saturday and Sunday mum, dad and I played with our friend. Mum and dad were sick and so was I. Stuck at home made me sad but I had my black cat sushi and made cotton candy. It was really fun to make. It smelt like yucky medicine, I did not like it at all. Later I played lego in the living room with mum and dad.
On the weekend I went to Bullioh to play foot and I had a lot of fun. First i kicked three goals and got best on ground. After I ate hotdogs. At the end of the game it was 100 to 12. Then we went home and had a spa and then watched a movie.
On the weekend I had a pancake with blueberries for breakfast, then we went outside and Sammy and I played building a cubby.
On the weekend I unloaded some hay off the truck. I guarded the gates and we moved some hay in the sheds. There were no mice,I checked. Then we went and played a game with my brother. After that we went to nanny’s house, by the time we got home it was dark.
On Saturday Sam and I went to Mitta for netball. I play under 11s. The Tallangatta girls and I started warming up for our warm up. We played cut the cake and ran up and down the court.
After we finished warming up the game started. I played in WA GK GS. We played amazing and we came a way with a win. Later Darcy and Brax and I ran water for the Tallangatta boys. They didn’t win but played really well. I had to watch the ball closely and heard a lot of yelling.
Last Sam and I went home and went to feed the horses. We got ready to go to the pub. I was starving and hunger. Give me FOOD please. So good I had a fun day.
On Sunday my family and I went fishing. The first spot we went was the pump. Thats were I caught a 47cm cod. After we went to Stacey’s Bridge, they gave me a $50 voucher and I won out of the parents and teens. Next we did a rubber ducky race, it was so fun. Then I saw Miss,Micallef roaming around so I decided to go say hi to her after talking to Miss. Micallef I went to go buy some fairy floss it was so yummy I put it all in my mouth. It disintegrated, it was tickling, my mouth. After I went to go see Katie’s, dad in the bronco horse competition and he won the prize!It was so cool seeing him ride a bronco,

On the 29th of April, the Year 5/6 students went by bus to Canberra. The trip had the Year 5/6 students experience so many wonderful places that will be cherished for years to come. Some of these experiences included The Royal Australian Mint and CMaG, MOAD (Museum of Australian Democracy, The National Botanic Gardens, Questacon, The National Gallery of Australia, The Australian War Memorial, Mulligans Flat Wildbark Learning Centre, Parliament House and The National Arboretum.
