Semester 1 for everything!

Hi all,

Ok ok, for the past few months i've been VERY busy and i havent been able to write in my blog but now is my chance. I would just like to tell you that school holidays for semester 1 are nearly here and i've been working my butt and my hands off. Last week was like the school's atheletic week because we had to cross country (we have to run a big course around the school). Guess what i came...10th yeah...unfortunately i have to train because i'm on the school team it's unfortunate yet exciting. Yesterday (Friday) we had our interschool winter sports carnival too. Jessica Hancock and I brought Milo and everyone was drinking a little bit of it. I was playing Rugy Tag. Rugby tag is where you where a velcro belt and you have to tags on the side and then you have to tag the person with the ball it's like rugby accept no physical contact is allowed.

Our school won nothing! We had a lot of fun and that was the main thing i guess. Anyway getting back to stuff...I got into Rossmoyne SHS! I am so happy. I got in for the specialist music program there. I'm so excited! I still need to go for the orientation around the school so i know where everything is.

Now time to tell you all the big things that have happend to me with scouts....

1. Rottnest Invasion

The scouts and i went to Rottnest Island for a weekend. That was the first time i went on a ferry it was so cool there were three storys. The bottom middle and then the top aka deck. Our job as scouts over there was to pick up rubbish. We had to walk to the middle of the island and pick up weeds and rubbish. After lunch near the end of the day, we had realised that we had picked up TONNES AND TONNES of the wrong weed. We probably did more harm than help the enviroment. After returning to the camp again feeling very guilty of what we had done. We went down to the beach.

Later that night we went into the small town of Rottnest and had Chicken Treat for dinner! Then all the scouts played scarface.

The next morning we woke up and got ready to pack up. We had breakfast which was cereal and then packed up our bags, tents and other stuff into the craters that would go on the ferry on the way back to Perth mainland. After we had done that we took our purses/wallets and went into town and went shopping! We had so much fun. When we were there we also saw LOTS of quakkas. One of our tents a quakka had been through. They were so cute and cheeky those little critters.

2. Unearth Perth

All of the scouts in WA gathered at Perth, Esplanade for a very big camp in the city. It was basically like a BIG BIG treasure hunt. It was so fun accept we had to move to lynwood hall because the esplanade got flooded by all the rain. It was unfortunate we had to move but these things happen. But even then we did have a lot of fun at lynwood. We did a skit. (It's like a small silly funny play) and we had a bonefire and roasted marshmellows and sang songs! It was so fun!

That's basically all the big things that have happend but there also have been heaps of other little things going on *giggles* Like my friend elle is going to Malaysia for a holdiday and she's leaving on the 1st July. It's also winter over here in Australia, WA so we've been lighting the fire lots of times. (We've got it going right now ;D) This year is also my last year of priamry school. (year 7)

Love You all! Jackie xoxo XD
