Halloween at Shantytown

On Halloween, Shantytown is the best place to visit. We got there at about Half past 5 in the afternoon (obviously) , and there were SO MANY CARS! We walked in and had to pay only two dollars and we got this bag with coupons for drinks, food and 2 other things. When we got there I walked around a bit with my brother, trying to find anything fun. Then my friend Marlin showed up, and we walked around and went in this fire maze. It was dark, it hurt my knees as it was on concrete, and it was very fun. After a while Marlins friend showed up and he went to hangout with him. Then some more of my friends showed up. They had just been in this hotel transformed into a scare house!
Then they came with me and we went in. It was so fun. There were lots of people dressed up who would jump scare us. There was this person on the piano who kept playing it whenever we walked past. After the intense fun we walked to this place where you can get lollies. Then there was a disco. They played Baby Shark and Old Town Road. After that we decided to go on the flying fox. Then, we decided that it was so fun that we had to go in the scare house again, so that's what we did. Then I had to go. It was the most fun Halloween ever. 

Japanese

On Tuesday we went to Mrs Gully's class and did Japanese. There were three rotations, and we had to do at least two. I did Origami, and made a paper fortune teller. Then there was an option to make a blog post which I'm doing right now. The other option was to put on a Kimono but I didn't really want to. 

Point Elizabeth

In the school holidays my family and I walked Point Elizabeth, which is a walk that starts in Cobden on the beach, and ends in Rapahoe. You can either walk to the lookout and back which is 1 hr 45 mins return. But to go all the way to Rapahoe and back it is 3 hrs. We walked to the lookout and back as I have some quite young siblings who probably wouldn't have been able to go to Rapahoe and back. It was a pretty cloudy day, it even started to rain a bit when we were walking around. When we got to the lookout we could see the waves crashing against the rocks. We had some biscuits whilst we were there. It was really fun and next time I would like to try and go all the way to Rapahoe and back. 

Shakeout

On Thursday 17th October we did a Shakeout. We had an early lunch so that it ended before we were meant to do the drill. For those who don't know, on Thursday we did a national shakeout at 1:30pm. Mrs O, our principal, said over the intercom that there was an earthquake and we needed to evacuate. Not real of course as this was a drill. We all took cover under the desks in our class and then walked out of the school grounds and up Dronfields driveway just across the road, as that was in the safe zone. Our school is just outside the safe zone. We only need to cross the road and then we are in the safe zone. We waited there for 5-10 minutes and then went back to class and carried on with work. 

It was actually quite fun, and great practice for if there ever is a real thing. 

RWC Activities

As we all know, the 2019 Rugby World Cup is happening right now.
At our school, we split into groups. There were about 15-20 people in one group. Each group was called a country. I was in Samoa. After an early lunch we went outside one afternoon, and did some activities.
First we played Duck Duck Goose against the Australia Team. They beat us. Then we played scramble and we tied. After that we played Rat's and Rabbit's. I can't remember who we played it against but it was my favourite. We tied. Then we played did a version of an egg and spoon race but it was Tennis Racket and Rugby Ball. We had another tie. Then after the egg and spoon race we played Rippa Rugby. I had a couple of good runs. We tied. It was my favourite after Rat's and Rabbit's.
Lastly we played Rob the Nest. We lost to Australia again. Australia came first out of the whole thing. They won every single game.
The top three teams got chocolate.

The RWC activities were really fun and I hope to do them again, or something similar.

My favourite kind of chocolate

My favourite kind of chocolate

So, we know there are 3 basic different kind of chocolates. White chocolate, which has no cocoa, milk chocolate which is 55 percent cocoa and dark chocolate which ranges from 60 to 80 percent cocoa.

Now, we all like different chocolate, but I'm gonna tell you my favourite chocolate. It is... drum roll please... white chocolate! Yes, white chocolate is my all time favourite chocolate. I'll tell you why.

Well, first of all, we all know how bitter dark chocolate is, right? Well, it is really bitter if you haven't tasted it before. So that's why I don't like dark chocolate.

Second of all, well, there is no real problem with milk chocolate, it's just white chocolate is yummier to me.

Lastly, white chocolate is so, so, so... I don't even know how to say it because there is no word to describe that yummy, awesome taste in your mouth when you try it. If you haven't already, you must try it.

That's why I think white chocolate is the best chocolate in the world (in my opinion).
