SAISA Day 1

March 11th marked the beginning of the Boys Basketball SAISA tournament. The day commenced at around 3:30 in the morning on a Tuesday. I felt like dropping dead from sleep deprivation.

The basketball team met up at the school at 4:00 and we set off for the airport with determination and fire in our hearts!

Surface Embellishment - An Untold Tale

I had yet another wonderful experience in Surface Embellishment today. We've moved on from fooling around with vegetables and patterns and have commenced a new chapter in this increasingly intriguing story. We're learning how to stitch shapes into cloth such as rolling hills and clouds. So actually we haven't really progressed from patterns. I have learned the stitching technique called the cross stitch and have utilized it with great efficiency during my stitching endeavors. Another successful day of embellishing surfaces!

Basketball update

On Tuesday we played against a school called Gateway - It was a great game and we were evenly matched. Towards the second half of the game we started to gain a bigger lead. Must be our superior stamina!
The end results were 69-57 in our favour.

Basketball Team

I made the basketball team and I'll be travelling to Dhaka, Bangladesh for the SAISA tournament. Great.

I also have an after school game today against the school that has cancelled on us twice in a row. Will they back out? Find out next time on Jack's Blog.
