pony camp







 
 
 
 
Today I went to pony camp.
There was two other girls there.
First we went to get our helmets and boots.
Then we went to groom (brush) our pony.
I groomed Sammy who is retired.
After grooming we went to meet our riding ponies.
My pony was appaloosa called Freckles.
Then we led our ponies to the arena  and saddled them.
After leading our ponies we learned how to get on our ponies.
Then we learned how to sit and hold the reins.
After doing so we learned to trot, walk and stop.
After we got off our ponies and led them to our stables and took them off their saddles.
Then we learned the parts of the saddle and bridle and cleaned the saddle.
Then we had our lunch and went home.

The paella had peas, corn, broccoli, cauliflower shrimp and chicken with rice.
The paella was delicious.

The paella was for lunch.
One of my favorite food is paella.

My mum carved a pumpkin face.
First she drew the face then she cut the top of and took all the seeds out.

That was magnificent.
The meringue was soft and easy to break.


school outing


 
 
I went on a school outing to the Aviva Stadium and the Jeanie Johnston tall ship.
First we went to the tall ship.
We learned about the ship and that the ship never lost a man during the famine.
The ship sank but still kept its record for not losing a man.
Then we went to eat lunch at a shopping mall.
I had a sandwich with cheese, lettuce and ham.
I also had a mini Cornetto and some Jammies.
After having lunch we took a bus to get to the Aviva stadium.
At the Aviva stadium we went to the press conference room.
Then we went to the changing rooms.
The changing rooms had two big baths.
Then we went to the seats and learned about Aviva's name.
We also learned about the shape of the building.
After we went to the gift shop.
I bought a badge and a note book that came with a pen.

We made a gingerbread house.
First my mum assembled the gingerbread house together.
Then she covered both sides of the roof.
After she covered the windows and doors.
After she left me and my sister to decorate the house.
We started to ice the spot then stick a skeleton head on the gingerbread.
There was skeleton gummies, pumpkin bubble gum, sugar ghosts, corn things (the one that is white yellow and orange) and licorice jelly bean.
My mum added pebbles onto the house.
After we got to eat some things from the gingerbread house.
