What I did in Term 1

Okay, here we are, the starting of the first term. I got into all my classes and got my logins for online recourses. Now let me tell you about my schedule. In my school, we have ECAs {extra-curricular activities} and I signed up for a whole lot of them. On Monday, I have a musical ECA which is steel pans. Steel pans are very fun and we even played a concert for the parents! For Tuesday, I had choir, another musical themed ECA. I got to sing at a hotel. On Wednesday, I have netball club. I played many matches against different schools and won some of them. Finally on Thursday, I have swim squad and after that I have netball club. Friday is my free day and on Saturday morning I have swimming class for 2 hours. On Sunday I again have swimming and after that I have Sunday School.

Now I am going to tell you about my sporty weekend. On Friday 10th November I had the annual netball gala. It was in Abu Dhabi and we all had to wear our club netball dress. The gala was outside so we all had hats and electrolytes and energy drinks and all the other stuff. On Saturday, I had my Aqua Swimming Academy swim comp. I won 2 certificates and a medal. The first certificate was for 3^rd place in board paddling and the second certificate was for 2^nd place in backstroke. The medal was for participation. Finally on Sunday, I went in the early morning with my dad to go to the Dubai Ride. The Dubai Ride is a cycling event with 2 routes to choose. The first route is called the family route and it was around  5km. The second route was called the Sheik Zayed road route which is around 14km. We initially wanted to go on the family route but ended up on Sheik Zayed road route. Now let me tell you the crazy thing. When we decided to go back home, we suddenly realised that we were lost, beasue most of the roads were closed. We ended up going all over the places, and when we finally got in to the car, we had cycled more than 23km. We went almost 5 times as much as the family route. What a crazy day!
