Madi

Madi Fox is a basketball superstar. After playing for South Australia in the Special Olympics National Games, Madi was picked to join the Australian basketball team for the Special Olympics World Games. People from all over the world compete in the games. This year they were held in Berlin in Germany.

Madi’s team played well and won a very close game to win a bronze medal. Well done and congratulations Madi!

skills he can do.

This is my first time going overseas and I am going for two weeks. Four other people from South Australia are going too. I really want to see around Berlin, I am looking forward to trying the food.

What is the best thing about playing Basketball?

I love how inclusive it is. I love playing defence because I like stealing the ball.

Do you have any advice for anyone interested in playing basketball or any other sport?

Practice your skills and look for an inclusive team to learn to play. It can be frustrating sometimes but keep practicing your skills.

What made you choose basketball?

I watched a friend’s basketball game, and I loved watching them defend and how they bounced the ball.

New Moon – Stephenie Meyer

By Mark Edwards This is the second book in the Twilight series. This book is about romance, Edward and Jacob both fall in love with Bella. Jacob is a Werewolf and Edward is a Vampire.

It’s got good characters. I liked reading about Edward & Jacob fighting for Bella. I would recommend this book because it is full of surprises and twists, and I love the characters. I would give this book 5 stars.

PODCAST On Purpose – Jay Shetty

By Kylie Chum Jay talks about various topics, such as mental health and life skills.

He also interviews celebrities and business people. In one episode, he talks to Lewis Howe, a baseball player with dyslexia. Lewis spoke about his troubles and how he worked on his confidence. This podcast has given me a fresh way of thinking and applying changes to myself.

MUSIC Rush! – Måneskin

By Kylie Chum Måneskin’s four members originated from Italy. This band ignited my love for rock and roll again. They performed as an act for Eurovision in 2022 with the song SUPERMODEL. The latest album ‘Rush!’ has awesome tracks. It gives off a villain vibe, but partying at a fun beach poolside.

My favourite Op Shops are Munno Para Savers, Camden Community Centre Op Shop, & the Salvation Army Thrift Shop at Marion which is where I found the cardigan. I like these shops because they have a good stock of clothes, some still with their tags on, plus bags, jewellery, and shoes.

The Buzz

I like being able to sort DVD’s and books. The people there are nice to me and help with my volunteer work. I put price tags onto items and I like sorting things and the team work. I would encourage others to look at volunteer work at an Op Shop because it gives you experience and might help you to get a job somewhere else.

Garden

Spring in the Garden When you are gardening, it is important to take note of the seasons. Spring is a great time to be in the garden, so this month we are focusing on gardening through September, October and November.

We interviewed Rob, who shared the secrets to keeping his Salisbury garden thriving. He gave us some tips about the 6 main tasks to focus on in the garden:
