Year 5 Camp

Yesterday I got my Padi card! A Padi card is a card that tells people that I have done my scuba diving training, this allows me go scuba diving wherever I want!
When I received my card I was excited because I have been waiting for it for months!

I am now a junior scuba diver; I did my first four dives in Tioman last November. Tioman is one of Malaysia’s islands and it is beautiful.
At first I was a bit scared to go in the water, but the instructor encouraged me to go. I’m so glad I did because it was amazing!
The first dive I did was 5 metres deep, and the deepest 18 metres.
We are going to go back to Tioman later this year when my sister Ziggi and Matt come over. I will be diving there again, hopefully Matt will come too.

In 3 days I am going to Bintan with my class for 3 days, I can’t wait!
Bintan is one of Indonesia’s islands, I went there last year with my family and it was lovely.
I am going to share a cabin with my friends Esther and Zoe; we are going to have lots of fun together snorkelling, rock climbing, boom netting, night fishing and all that fun stuff!
The best thing about camp is there are going to be no parents!!! Mum, Dad and Lucinda are off to Bangkok for a few days.

Below is a picture of the cabins that we are staying in.

Tell you all about it when I get back.

Mr Bean

Last week Lucinda and I went to the cinema to see ‘Mr Beans Holiday’. It was exciting because we went alone. My mum didn’t want to come because she can’t stand Rowan Atkinson!!! It was very strange being in the cinema on our own because this was the first time we had been out with no parents.
We got into the cinema and found our seats. After we had settled in our seats, Lucinda started to freak because she thought we were in the the wrong cinema! I assured her we were in the correct place.




The film was so funny, my favourite part of the film was when Mr Bean was phoning strangers. He phoned this guy, who said to him “Please say you love me” but Mr Bean put the phone down and didn’t say anything. The man thought he had been speaking to his girlfriend, so he threw himself into the river and he drowned!






The cinema that we went to was brand new. It was in a place called ‘Vivo City’. ‘Vivo City’ is a huge new shopping mall in Singapore. It is built on the harbour overlooking the bay and Sentosa island. The view from the top of the mall is great, you can see the cable cars that go over to Sentosa and all the cruise ships that come to dock in the harbour.
Inside Vivo city is a monorail station where you can get a train straight over to Sentosa island.
On the roof top are shallow pools, some of them have huge sculptures in them, at night they are lit up and they are beautiful. In one of the pools you can actually go paddling! There is also a open air auditorium where they have concerts.
These are some pictures my mum took at Vivo, on the top one you can see the Dragon Boat, the dots in the sky above it are the cable cars. The second pic is the mono rail, the train is coming from Sentosa straight into the mall.

My New Website

This is my new website, I am going to be writing about daily events and happenings, I will be uploading lots of pictures and maybe some video clips.

I haven't done much this week, but I have found a new website 'Pokemon Crater' This is a fun website; you have to find lots of Pokemon characters around the map. The aim is to find every Pokemon. Everyone is now playing this game instead of Millsberry.

My best friend Rabeca and her twin sister left our school last week, they are going to live in New Zealand. This is a picture of me and Rabeca taken at the international schools cross country run a few weeks ago. I hope Rabeca will check into my new site often and keep in touch with us all.

On Friday I went swimming outside with my friends from next door but one, Megan and Melody, we went to the pool outside our door, I don't have a picture of this pool, so here is a picture of the big pool further down!

Last week Lucinda and I had to go and sing in front of one of Singapores ministers, they were opening a new bicycle path near our school, we all had to dress in our national costumes, England does not have one so we just wore a t-shirt with the union jack on. We sang a song called 'di tanjong katong' this song was sung in Malay and it very hard to sing! The event was filmed and we were on the news that evening!

This is a photo of us that my mum took in the studio before we left.
