Rock This Party

This morning, we went to the hall to do some dancing and the song we danced to was Rock This Party. Kate was the person who taught us and she was really good at dancing. I thought we were going to watch a show, so I was surprised. It was good.

Pictures in the Mind

I have been practising using words in my writing that give readers pictures in their minds.

On the 14th of November, my whole school was excited about Athletics Day because we got to do discus. We got to do vortex. We got to do high jump.We got to do long jump and running and we got to compete against each other.
In high jump, I ran as fast as a car up to the black and orange bar and jumped and did a scissor-kick over the bar and on a big green mat.
A lot of people didn’t make it because they didn’t jump high enough and they hit the bar and, finally, there were three people. Josh, Moses and me, and the first one who hit the bar was Moses and then Josh hit the bar and that means I won.

Elgrego's Magic Show

Yesterday Elgrego came to our school and performed magic in an antibullying show.

When we were ready, Elgrego began his magic by birds appear. He put three birds in a box and he put a blanket over the box.When he took the blanket off, the birds had turned in to a big fat rabbit and he made a bird  climb up his hands. It was captivating.

He next did a fizzy drink trick. He put some fizzy drink in a cup and he put the drink in a box called the up and down box. He closed the lid and he turned the box upside down and he opened the box upside down and nothing came out.
After the drink trick, Elgrego talked with Seemore, the baby green dinosaur. A ventriloquist is a person who talks for a parrot.
Elgrego made Seemore come out of his egg, then Seemore told Elgrego and us about him because the other dinosaurs were teasing him because he was green. Elgrego told Seemore to use his wits - Walk away, Ignore, Tell someone, Say, "Stop it. I don't like it."
