She gets sold to a man that works as a clown at the circus called Beppo when she’s eight. She meets a nice lady called Madame Adeline. She runs away with Hetty Feather/Sapphire Battersea/ Emerald Star (That’s a lot of names, I know)When she get threatened to get a beating for falling down because she’s an acrobat.. In the newest Hetty Feather book, Little Stars, they become music hall artistes, and live with a dressmaker near the Cavalcade. They become popular almost immediately. They become invited to be actors in a production Alice in Wonderland by Marina Royal, Hetty Feather's new heroine.

2017 Athletics Reflection

In what ways did I represent my House well in the competition?

I was respectful and listened. I participated in different events and got house points for my house, Kowhai.

What did I do well and how do I know?
I tried my hardest and I know because I did my best. I completed every event to the best that I could.

What was challenging and how do I know?

Shot Put because the balls were heavy.

High Jump because I couldn’t get over the bar.

What am I most proud of and why?

Sprints, because I almost got into zones. I came 4th in my heat, I almost came 3rd. If I got 3rd I would have been in the finals and may have been able to go to Zones Athletics.

How well did I use a growth mindset to stay positive when the competition got tough?

I just kept on going. Even when I didn’t make it over the High Jump I kept trying and kept a smile on my face.

Did I manage to achieve my athletics goals and why/why not?

No, because I didn’t get into zones and that was my goal. But I tried my hardest in everything that I did.
