Duffy Theater

Today the Duffy Theater people came to our school and put on a show for us. The show was mainly about Duffy traveling back in time to make sure that his neighbor Ruby who was 81 years old went to school, learnt how to read and that her dad wasn't killed in World War Two. On the way he sang some songs and visited a different year by accident where he met a ninja and was given a ninja costume to wear as well. In the end he saved Ruby's dad and made sure Ruby went to school as well as learn how to read. 

Tabloids

On Wednesday afternoon was tabloids where we were playing for fun with vitamins and minerals including broccoli, lemon, coconut, carrots, potatoes and oranges. There were many different activities and 8 groups where we were divided in to. I was in the 8th group and my first activity was with Mrs Golder playing with broccoli going under and over. It wasn't that difficult although it was hard playing with the little kids as they weren't sure what to do at times in all of the activities. My favorite activity was Mr Reid's where you had to throw a ball at a coconut that was on a pole and try and knock it off, I didn't knock the coconut off in the end but there is always next time.  

First Day Back At School

School had finally started after having the 6-7 week holiday. Since then it was quite difficult for me as I had started a new class, new teacher and  was getting use to everything that is expected all at the same time. Although we didn't do much on the first day we still had our first assembly as a school and settled into our new classroom. Soon we started work on our Chromebooks and looked at our new class blog for Room 12 2016. Then at 2:45 school ended for the first day back.   

My I-Phone Clay Creation

For the past few days I have been working on an I-phone out of clay.

It was really difficult molding and flattening the clay as it was really hard. The colors I included was purple, pink and blue. Then to make it even more better I added the apple sign, back and front camera, a button and a phone case as well as the volume line. In the end I was proud of my I-Phone clay creation but destroyed it anyway because we couldn't keep the clay. 

Goosebumps

One week took my class and myself to finally finish our goosebumps book study, so we can put it up in our school library. 

We all had to contribute and get into groups to think about one thing we would want to include on our big cardboard paper. Then in the end the things we did include was about the author, a blurb, scary pictures, finger prints, a book saying open if you dare as well as my groups night of the living dummy series. Hopefully everybody that walks in our school library sees it and thinks that it is very cool because we put a lot of hard work into it. 

Touch Rugby With Trevor

For the past three Thursdays our touch rugby couch, Trevor had been teaching us the basic skills and rules of touch including a few games we played to warm up. 

Trevor taught us how to plant the ball which is when you put the ball between your legs, step over it then to the side, step back and one of your teammates is free to pick it up and run. There was also this one practice when you ran up with your dummy half, you pick it up run a little while getting touched, plant it, then your dummy half picks it up moves forward and passes it back to you. For our warm ups we played a lot of games including my favorite game where we were in a circle and heaps of balls were going around, then you would eventually drop the ball until there was only a little bit of people left.  

In the end we had some touch games with girls against girls and boys against boys. In these games we used all the skills Trevor had taught us even though he still had to remind us on what we had to do. Then soon later we had to say goodbye and go back to class. 

Tori Kelly

Everybody has a favorite singer right? A singer that they can listen to all the time and sing to their singers songs 24/7. Well that’s the same with me as my favorite singer is the fabulous, amazing, beautiful  Tori Kelly. 

She happens to be my favorite singer because she's inspiring and writes her own songs to perfection as well as, being able to sing high, low and in between with no trouble. Tori is my favorite singer because she writes music that I like to hear and her voice always sounds fabulous. But every time when I listen to her songs it feels just like she’s directing her lyrics to me so that it becomes a part of me. It feels as if she’s giving me an important message which really means something to me and will stay with me forever.
