Basketball Season

This year I tried basketball. It's the first year I have played and I really enjoyed it. I'm definitely going to play next year. I have learnt a lot. We had a game last night  in the new Westland Recreation Center against Cobden, my team and I played very well.
Luke got a 3 pointer and a basket in the last second of the game. Which was really well done.
We won 51 - 6. After our game we had a presentation, I was the only one out of my team who got a certificate for playing well all season, I got to shake Sam Debsters hand, he is from the nelson giants. and he got selected for New Zealand.

The Performing Arts

The performing arts is something that I enjoy, but I'm not that confident in myself I get embarrassed easily when I do something like this but this term is about getting embarrassed getting put out of our comfort zone, and I'm going try, to do my best don't hold back just let it all out.

I am excited about this term and will put 110% into everything. If we wanted a lead role we had to audition. I went for the hunchback man in the time warp . On Monday we found out if we got the part and I GOT IT I was so excited but humble.

So congratlations to everyone that got the lead roles and all so nice try  to everyone that went for it.

The Element

The Element is a time to let loose do what we want to do. The Element is when we get to choose something to do anything at school and do it for and hour. Some people have chosen stuff like art, basketball  etc . I have chosen Baking, This week I have made Chocolate caramel muffins. (Out of a box)

Everybody was like Emma why are you making muffins out of a box. I said "YOLO".

If you have a request of what I could bake leave a comment down below. :)

Auditions

This term we have being doing drama, we are doing 5 mini productions. Yesterday if we wanted a lead role we had to do an audition. I went for anything I could.  So I went for, Tania off Mamma Mia, Sophie off Mamma Mia, Danny of Grease, Witch off Rocky Horror and the Creepy man off Rocky Horror.

It was a great experience for me. I'm not usually an outgoing confident person when it comes to acting/ singing/ dancing etc. But I had to get put out of my comfort zone and pretend nobody was there. So I did. One of my friends said that I look confident. I told her that I'm not I'm dying inside but I gotta keep on going.

Good Luck to everybody who auditioned. I hope that I got a place in the Drama production if I don't it won't be a big deal I will just have to be a backup dancer etc.
