Arts Week Fun.

The first thing I liked was the Celtic Kids Concert. It was cool how Bob Bickerdin played the: Baldron Drum, Irish Bagpipes, Harp, Guitar & The Fiddle/ violin. It was funny when he did the rap with the drum. I also liked the story he told about a leprechaun. He was really funny, when he told the story/ song about a boy called Jimmy how he did a handstand with a kilt on. He really inspired me to want to learn the Harp.

I also liked the Hinepau performance, I liked it when she was singing. It was cool how they switched characters. I also liked how it taught us something to remember to listen to other people even if you don't like them they still might be right. It was cool how her weavings came to life.

I also liked the Buskers. My favorite person was the magician. He got himself out of a buckle suit on a unicycle! He also did the pompom ball trick when he says the red one goes up & the green one goes down & it gets REALLY confusing. I really enjoyed ALL the cool things we did in Arts Week,

Awesome Art

First of all I got to sing with Suzanne because I was in the choir and got to sing with most of my friends. But the cool part was when we were half way through the concert we all got a lolly each and they were delicious.

Second of all we went into
the village for an i movie that two photographers set up for us. The cool thing was
that they could get a picture of a bird moving and it wouldn't be blurry.

Last of all the calender art I drew a picture of a truck it tunned out really well but thats only because we did it step by step in a book.

Arts Week Fun!

My 3 favorite things in Arts Week were : The dance , Choir and the Calender Art. First Dance!
Because it was fun and also I really enjoyed it when we did the slow motion running.

Then Choir because half way when we had a break we went to this room we got one lolly each and a cup of drink. Then we went back and sang songs. My favorite song was Beach Boys Medley.
My favorite part from Beach Boys Medley is help me Rhonda.

The last thing was Calender Art because I really like drawing and coloring in.

Book week!

On week five it was Book Week. And on Tuesday the whole school had to dress up in a character that was to do with the book that they had. Some people dressed up as Harry Potter and they looked exactly like him. And Aoife won a book because she dressed up the best in the middle school. I dressed up as Jack Stalwart. But the fun part was the opening ceremony when we showed everyone our costumes.

Amine and Carina's inquiry.

First we had an introduction about what it was about. Then we handed out the booklets.Most people did the wordsearch because it was hard. After that we showed you an experiment with leaves and blue water. Then we played Hangman. We didn't do a Quiz because we wanted something different.The inquiry was a bit short but it was fun.

On Wednesday the 30/7/08 Alice brought her pet mouse.
Her mouse was cute and pretty.

My holidays

In the holidays I went to a place called Staveley. Staveley is a place that is quite near Mt Hutt. It is a very small town and not many people live there. My family and I went skiing everyday except for one day. The one day we didn't go skiing we went on a really long walk. In one part of the walk it was called "The river walk". We thought we would just walk past a river but we actually had to walk through a river!!! We even had to jump over stones! One of the nights we were there the Morton's stayed with us. We played lots of games and stayed up until midnight!!! The house we stayed at had a hot tub and it was really cool!
