I picked this quote because it reminds me to believe in myself. If I don't believe in myself I wouldn't be doing any sport. It's important to believe in yourself because when you believe good things happen to you in your life. When I believe in myself I can create an amazing life for myself. When I feel I can't do something, all I need to do is believe in myself and then I can achieve great things.

This week on my SRA I did a box higher than I usally would. That was because my teacher said the other SRA cards were to easy. I think its the right box for me. This is my results. I had a few fix ups to do and I fixed it up and got it right. The story was the ant lion and it was about a girl who saw a insect. The insect was an ant lion. The girl was wondering why it made holes in the sand. The ant lion was making holes to catch its food. There food is normal ants.

Last week on Friday it was Mothers day. I had to bring a jar for a really awesome activity. The activity was designing a jar. The materials we used were cellophane and a pipe cleaner. Mum and a I made cheqered jar so there were clear bits that you could see through and parts where it is red and put a pipe cleaner around the jar so it makes a bow. Then we went to my brothers class they made bracelets. After that we went to my other brothers class and made flowers for the jar that we designed.                                                                                                                          

Today I played in a rippa rugby tournament and my team mates were Luke, Heath, Mason, Marcus, Lara, Holly, Katie and Paige. There was about eight teams there. The teams that we played were Parawai, Te Puru, Miller Ave, Kerepehi and we made it into the quarter final and played Parawai again. The scores were 5-5 the first game, 7-7 the second game, we lost our third game, we won against Kerepehi and lost the quarter finals. I scored three tries in the tournament. I had lots of fun and I want to do it again!
