P.E climbing blog!

I was trying the overhang
Here Mr. Whiting said I wasn't smiling enough, so I did!

During unit 6 of P.E (climbing), I had developed better skills and speed in climbing. In belaying I had gotten better at the technique of it. Also during the init I had more trust in my classmate when I was climbing and when I am getting lowered. My first climb was with Ashley and Petra, when I was belaying Petra she had little trust in me, but she managed and I didn’t drop her. On my 6 climb I did the speed climb in 11.22 seconds which I has proud of. The last climb that I did of unit 5 was the doing the overhang self belayed, which took a long time but I made it up and it was amusing. For the next time that I will climb I would like to do the over hang self belayed and blend folded.

Colonization poem of the Native Australians

The Native Australians lived in harmony but in just in a short time there lives were taken away!


We once lived in harmony with the land.
Then it was colonized.
White men trespassing into unknown territory.
Unwanted.
Who said they could just barge in like that?
Bringing their ethnocentric minds along with them.
Trying to get rid of our race.
Stealing our land.
Stealing our resources.
Stealing our cultures.
Stealing our lives.
We tried to fight back.
But while we may won battles,
They won war.
Their morale only get stronger as they destroyed our hope.
We look forward to a day when
The sun will shine on our faces again.
