Sport
Yesterday our Saturday netball team went to a tourterment. We did pretty well against the other teams. We won two and drew 1. if we had got higher points the other teams that we had won against then we would if got in the semi-finals but this huge school called Highlands got way higher points against the teams that we won against so they got in the semi-finals and played against a really hard team they were called Kaponga 2 quick. We played them on Saturday and we lost by seven goals. Robin said that we did really well against those teams. I was really tired at the end of all of those games because I had to play 3 whole half hour games and all I wanted to do was sleep.

Jones Cup
On Tuesday we went to Jones Cup. Even though we had these really ugly uniforms ED still won the Jones Cup. We won all our games and I only played one position because Linda Collins would not let me change. There were really hard teams but we still bet them. Luckily we had really good shooters and good defence because we would not have won. The hardest team would most probably Midhirst Blue. The score was 8-6 but I thought that we lost but we ended up winning!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday Sport
On Saturday our Netball team played against the second hardest team and luckily for them they won!!!
The score was something like 33-26 we could of done better but we weren’t fit enough so we got tired. We were going well in the 1st and 2nd quarter but then we just do tired but we still kept on going. Some people weren’t playing as well as the usually do but I think that they still tried. It was fun though even though we lost. I think that it was good that we lose against another team instead of just one and winning against all of the other teams. It was really hard though. Before all of this game happened we had to drive to town and then since there was some kind of car thing so we all got out and dad parked the car and then we went over to watch Roma play her hockey. When they were warming up Angus, Koren, Claire and Fiona were walking to the turf. Nina saw them and then she told me then we went over to greet them. We watched them hockey guys play for a while and then Nina, Koren, Claire and I got board so we went over to our mum and then we asked for some money to go and get some lollies. Mum said no because we she paid all this money for our teeth. They said that we could go and walk around and look at the food but Nina and I brought some lollies anyway!!!! Nina brought something for Koren but since our parents said no koren did not want any. I brought a Claire a Russian Fudge and she said that she had never tasted that before but when she did taste it she really liked it. Then we went to mum. Dad had taken Caterina to rugby and then we went to go and watch Caterina play rugby and then we went to our netball.

Caterinas birthday Party
On Sunday 11th May Caterina had a birthday party. All the kids in the school came expect Rhys. Caterina got a lot of money and a lot of presents!!!! We had about four or five games and my team won most of them. In the sack race I was in front of Kelly and Koren a so Kelly pulled my hair and my top so it was a draw so Kelly, Koren and I had to do the race again. Lots of people felt sick at the end of it because we had brought a lot of chocolate prizes.
I think that it was cool the Brooke brought her horse down because we were going to ride and most kids rode Te Waiata any way. We got all the horses out so the kids could ride them but when Henry a friend of ours got on Roma’s pony she kept on bucking when Henry as on her so he got of and I got on and went for a canter. She only did about three bucks and then she was good. I think that she was bucking because henry was heavy and she is cold backed. (That means that she always has the girth done up straight away so she bucks.) I just about fell of because my stirrups were way to long and Sunny (Roma’s horse) was doing so many huge bucks. Lucky I knew how to grip and knew how to stop a horse because when Samantha was riding Te Waiata and I was coming down the hill on Sunny I just about bucked right into Samantha on Te Waiata. Then I went for a canter and she did even more bucks but I still did not fall of. Dad said that we had to put the horses away and start playing the games. So we did that and then we played the games. We had teams for the whole day and the teams names were, The Flying Pigs and the other team was The Talking Fish. I thought that the teams were fair because we kept on having draws!!! Then every one left and wewatched a movie and then we had dinner and then went to bed.

Brenda Bellringer course
On the 30th of April Nina, Roma, Caterina and I went to a rally with our horses at the pony club grounds in Stratford. It was sort of a private rally but with only four people in the group not lots of people. On the first day it was pouring down with rain and since Roma and Caterina’s horses were at our friends place mum dropped Nina and I of first since we only have a double horse float. We were standing there in the rain for ages until Bev the person who ran the whole day said that we could put them in the barn.
We walked them over to the barn then we could not find a gate to get in or something. So we just stood there until this man came over. He found a way to get our horses in and then we stayed there until mum came with the other two and there ponies. A couple of minutes before mum came the man left and when mum came Nina and I tried to get our horses out the way the man did Shadow my horse got caught up on the wire and pulled and pulled. Since Nina was standing on the wire when Shadow went over Nina fell flat on her bum and then it was all dirty!!!!!
Once Shadow had got herself out of the wire both the horses were snorting and they were really scared. The same man came over to help us and so did Bev (the lady who ran the whole day.) when they got to the barn where we were they said to go and get ready while they fix the wire and make it look all tidy again!!!!!!! When we were leading them over to mum the horses where still snorting and they were really hyper!!!!!!!! I thought it was good until we actually started to work Shadow started to buck when I was on her but I was lucky not to fall of!!!! I was lucky not to fall of because we were in the sand arena and it was all wet but Shadow did not care!!!
On the first day there were two other kids that we knew with there horses that learnt with us but on the second day there was just the Polettis!!! Mum thought that the second day was better because the other girls were not there. (Mum also thought that they were rude because the kept on talking back!) on the frist day we learnt how to trot on the right diagonal witch was really hard because she asked us if we were or not but if we said yes and we were wrong she said NO and we had to sit one beet but I usually sat either 2 or 3 but I got there in the end.
After both the days we were really tired and so were the ponies but the quickly ate up the hard food that we gave them then we put them in the paddock and I think that they were happy then!
