11 lengths, but really difficult tonight. It was breaststroke practice, and we had to do arms first, then leave them out in front, then do legs, then count to 3 before starting with arms again. I got all in a cafuffle!! I think I may pratice on a sofa arm before we do it again!!!

My wobbly tooth fell out in my sleep last night :o)

Berkswich orienteering on the Chase. More of a yellowy course today with some decisions to make. Lots of uphill, too. 4th behind Eimear, Georgina and Tom. Had a stitch.

Collecting the remaining controls from Satnall Hills & putting out the yellowy controls with Mummy on Brereton Spurs. We had to do it all in a rush because Lucy got lost on the Satnall Hills without a map or anything, & Mummy was really stressed. I was too tired to run a course, so I just signed everyone back in and when I got bored of doing that I climbed a really cool tree, but fell out of it & scratched both arms loads and loads :0(

The first of the Lichfield childrens coaching sessions at Curborough. We did corners, slalom & limbo, and riding as a team, with relays at the end.
They worked my legs off me!!

Miss Amy's back, & so was Bugsy :0)

Humph - too late with the paperwork to get into the next session of after school sports. The letter only came home yesterday, but we went to the doctors this morning to get a new inhaler, & when I got to school & handed it in I was 25th in the pile :0(

Group B with Gez in the deep end. We swam 250 metres altogether, all in 25 metre length chunks, and did treading water, too. I'm tired!!!
Abigail H from Y3 is in my group, too, & so is Megan who was in Janes group with me, and Gez was really nice.

Had a choice of lots of activities & I really enjoyed the tug of war. I wouldn't tell Mum what else we did, so she can't write it in my log...

In school instead of after school to make up for the one we missed last half term because of parents evening. We did a bit of eerything, but alot of throwing & catching.

Berkswich orienteering on the Satnall Hills. I started last & beat everybody from Y5&6 - it was quite funny :0).
Really good on the minibus.

Mum tricked me into doing the yellow course at training tonight (& I still haven't realised it!). I was quite happy skipping, but Mum asked if I wanted to collect the controls in, so we went around together and I navigated.

It wasn't Miss Amy, it was Miss Emma, and we did some stuff from High School Musicak, so I didn't need to read the lyrics & script, I knew it all all ready!

Yellow course at the Brindley Saturday Series. My foot hurt too much to run, so I just walked in with Mum, but did the navigating. She caught me up at number 3 because I had gone straight past number 2, but she was collecting controls in behind me, so I didn't have to go all the way back to punch it, which was good, because it was a long way...

Up to Stepping Stones with Daddy. Did some races around the grassy bit there then back to Mammoth for a hot chocolate & some cake :0)

Swimming, football, badminton, bouncy castle. Foot still hurts a bit when i want it to.

Swimming, badminton, tennis, bouncy castle. I hurt my foot when I was bundled off the bouncy castle & needed an ice pack. It hurts a bit if I catch it wrong, but I seem to be able to stamp my feet OK when I strop.

Climbed 10 routes at Wolf. They've changed since we were last there. Mum wasn't helping me climb up, it felt like she was pulling me down. We started off having fun, but left having a row.

Swimming, badminton & football today.

Lots of lengths, diving in off the side, picking stuff off the bottom and generally having fun :0)

had fun lunt haw too put giya dawn
Had fun. Learned how to put the gears down as well as up.

First ride on my new bike, in my new trainers & it was all rubbish. Humph. I can go up the gears, but I can't get them to go down, and everytime I stopped suddenly in the middle of the path so Mummy could change the gear for me, she shouted at me. The really narrow path through the heather & gorse was really difficult, & the path that I chose to go down to get to Sherbrook was too stony/squiffy and too fast. Mummy could get up all the hills & I couldn't quite manage the last little bits & had to walk the last bit of the path up to Brocton Coppice, the hill just on the home side of Stepping Stones & the hill to get to the top of the German Cutting. Otherwise I rode it all. And I got my new trainers wet at the Stepping Stones because I stopped half way across & had to push my bike out while people were watching me. It's not fair. Humph.......

With Mummy & Nain & Taid, from Mortehoe, out to the lighthouse at Bull Point, then back to Morte Point and into Woolacombe for a lovely hot chocolate at the Boardwalk. I had wet trousers, socks & trainers for over 4 miles after I went for an unexpected paddle at Rockham beach. It was cold!

JK relay on Braunton Sands in the M/W40- relay with Sam & Heather. I was on the middle, short leg, which was yellow.
Sam came back in 3rd, but I didn't....I thought the course was OK, but Mum & Dad thought it was really difficult, and Dad said he wouldn't have let me go out by myself if he knew how hard the course was before I started!
The only one I found difficult was number 7, because I couldn't see the little path. I tried twice, and did what Mummy told me & went back to where I knew where I was (number 6) and tried again. In the end I went the long way round - I didn't have to ask anyone for help. And I wasn't last, and the team wasn't last, either :0)
And I was 30 seconds faster than Mummy on the run in (even though I fell over just before the handover, so I got really embarrassed & finished in tears - I'm in this photo: http://www.jk2010.co.uk/results/images/JK_0084.jpg just behind Peter Guillaume flat out on the floor!!).
Mummy might put my course up here one day because she's really proud of me.

JK Sunday W10B
They used happy & sad faces to help you. I didn't make any mistakes & I wasn't last :0)
I was finished before Mummy & Daddy. They were both second on their courses...

Muddy!
It was actually an easy course, but I went the wrong way with my compass at number 3 and asked some people (but they weren't orienteers) and cried a bit and asked someone else, and then was sorted for the rest of the course.
Finished happy but muddy, muddy, muddy.

Event: JK 2010
 

Could have gone to the sprint race today, but decided not to.
Daddy was second :0)

Lots of coughing & snot. Lots of inhaler. Tried to sleep in the car on the way to Grandmas, but couldn't.

Last day of term, forgot it was on, and so did everybody else so I didn't have any kit & had to do it in my uniform. Won the medal for trying hardest/listening best/whatever, though.
