A cup of citizenship

Last night on the 16th of December 2013 , the Casebrook intermediate prize giving was held at Papanui high. There, I Nikhil Prakash won the year 7 citizenship award for boys. Cara won the girls citizenship. When my name was called, I had a major shock! I was never expecting it! I was full of joy, but I had to contain it since I was on stage. It was a wonderful and surprising night.

Burning blue - A Book Review by Jacqui

Burning blue is a really good book that I read in the weekend and is set in New Jersey,USA.

It's about two people (mainly) who live In Two different worlds,really.one of them is a poor boy called jay ,who is an amazing 'hacker' . His dad is an obese art critic who doesn't earn much,and his mother died in the car crash they were in a couple of years back,hence why jay has to work at a warehouse called bj's part time,where he stocks and works out back. The other main character is a rich girl called Nicole,who has won many pageants and people think she's going to miss New Jersey! Her parents are split up and she lives with her mum,but sky pets her dad and has 'dates' with him every so often.

She has a boyfriend,the lead wrestler for brandywine hollows high school, Dave.after being late for a period hanging with Dave in the hallway,a 'recluse' squirts her face (one side of) with acid and jay vows to himself that he would find who did it,with the help of an old 'friend' called Angela,who he finds out is also a hacker. But the recluse is not who you think it is…

Motorbike Crash

On the 23rd of November I crashed my kx85. I was going way too fast over a jump when the bike tilted forward. I then tried to pull the front up and succeeded but when I came down I accidentally opened the throttle right up. Because my bike is 2 stroke it has a powerband, so when I came down it hit the power band. It had so much power I couldn't control it and went straight over the next corner. When I hit the dirt I was winded had a sore foot sore knee and a sore wrist. I then had to walk back 175 metres back to the truck. We then went home to take my motorcross boots off and to change my top. We then went to A&E and by that time my ankle and calf became one. Then on Sunday the bruising was massive. I have to miss out on 3 to 4 weeks of motobiking.

Ashburton Athletics

On the 29th of November there was Athletics on at Ashburton. Everyone had to get to school by 7:00 in the morning and meet in Mr. Russell's room (room 13). At 7:15 we got onto the bus to start our long journey to Ashburton. We had a bit of a restless bus ride but we got there eventually. Most of the time Izzi was playing on her phone because she can be anti-social at times.
