Playing Field Hockey at Pridwin

This is me playing field hockey a couple of weeks ago.

So hello everyone. I am really sorry that I have not been posting as much as I wanted to. I have a very hectic school day. That starts with waking up at 6:00 to get out by 7:20. We stop learning at 1:30 and have lunch. We then do our homework from 2:00 to 3:00. And last we have sport until 4:30. So I am exhausted when I get home. Then I am usually invited to a friends house on the weekends.

My teacher is really nice man. He used to play rugby so he is a big man. So far I think my favorite subject is D&T. We have been building Lego to try to get the objective that our teacher sets for us.

That is all I have to say for now. So I guess this goodbye for now.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Its been very hectic with me and Quince starting school. Yes I had my first week of school. I played cricket and hockey. I fit right in with the other boys. (its an all boys school.)
I will  try to post picture later today.

We went to Pilansburg yesterday and saw a lot of animals. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

The cutest bird flew into our house today. Aww I feel so bad for it. We opened some windows and it flew away. (: for the bird, ): for me. I will get back to you guys on what type of bird it is.

Hi,
So there was a change of plans on Friday. We went shopping instead of going to the lion park.
We will go to the lion park on Monday.
Thanks
Alexander

Hey everyone,
Sorry I didn't post earlier, we were having some with the wireless.
We all landed safely on Monday after a grueling 15 hour flight. (I was watching movies for 9 hours and sleeping for 6.)
Yesterday I went on a tour of my school. There science and technology lab has some amazing animals. The one disappointment
is that there computer lab only has PCs. Today we are going to a lion park and will take photos.

Thanks for tuning in,
Alexander
