Finding out what teacher we have for Intermediate!

 Hey bloggers, 

Today was an exciting day, I met my teacher for Intermediate. My teacher is called Mrs Power, the kids from my school I am with is Jaimie, Ari, and Jonathan. The first thing we did in our class was hear a bit about the school, and Mrs Power. Then we did a all about me sheet so Mrs Power would know all about us, and we also got a photo so Mrs Power could learn what we look like and our name. At the end of this we got notices and met back up in the hall. The last thing we did was go back to school, and tell everyone what teacher we got. Overall this was extremely exciting, and a little nerve racking. Anyway I can't wait to go to Intermediate next year, here is the link to the Intermediate site. Blog you later! 

Skateboarding!

 Hey bloggers, 

Who loves to skateboard? Well I do, and guess what I did today... skateboarding! For our new Kiwi Sports we get to do skateboarding. We have two teachers Ben, and Lawrence. I am going to talk about three things today, the first one is... What was great about the lessons and what was challenging. The next one is, what have we learnt, and the last one is, what have we gained from learning to skateboard. So you better get reading. 

What was great about the lessons and what was challenging?

I really loved getting free time on the skateboards. I like to just ride around and sway. It is also fun to ride with your friends and talk, and laugh when you get a skill wrong. I found crab walks very challenging, I actually can't do the crab walks. But I will keep trying and practising. At first I also found just riding around hard, because there was too much people so I kept on almost getting crashed into.

What have we learnt?

I have learnt how to Tick Tack. Tick Tack is when you put your foot on the bottom of the board, and your other foot on the top, and then you press down on the bottom foot. We also learnt how to do a crab walk, that is when you put your feet on the sides and tick tack. I also learnt all of the parts of a skateboard, and some cool tricks. 

What have I gained from learning how to skateboard? 

I have gained a new really cool skill, that I can do in the weekends.  I have also gained a new way to travel around, I can go skateboarding to the park now. I have learnt to have a growth mindset about skateboarding. I have gained confidence on the skateboard too.

Production!

 Hey bloggers, 

Last week was our school production, for our production the teachers chose to do a revised version of Jasmine and Aladdin. In the version of Aladdin I played Persia, Aladdin's best friend, kinda like the monkey in the actual movie.

 The story line is Omar the evil Magician who wants to take over the kingdom of Has bah, has got Aladdin to go in to the cave of Wonders to get the lamp, Aladdin got the lamp and the Genie popped out. So Aladdin wanted to take Jasmine to travel the world. But she couldn't go because Omar was in the palace, So Persia, Aladdin, Jasmine, and Genie, all stopped Omar. Then they all travelled the world together. 

 Now that you know the story line I am gonna take you through the experience of production. So the first thing that happens is we start rehearsing without props, we also had to practise online because of lock-down (but that is fine.) Then we start practising with props, then at the real venue we will be performing at we do some practises, and a dress rehearsal with an audience. 

So now I have told you the lead up, here is what happened on the actual night. I walked went straight to the dressing room go my cat outfit on, my cat outfit contained of: A tail, cat ears, a vest, some pants. That was my costume, then I went to get my make up it was the most full on one out of everyone else. Then I got my head set on, and did a mic test. After that I went back stage, I felt a bit nervous but really excited. People started coming in I could see my family, then it was show time. I walked on stage and felt so alive, I was so happy with how it was going. After the show I felt amazing. Anyway bloggers that's my production experience, please look at the photos down below.
