Zentangles 2

We have been working on our animal zentangles for a long time and I am finally done. I have done the vivid and glued it onto a colored sheet of paper. My hardest thing we probably thinking of what zentangle to put on the face and to think of all the zentangles to put in the spots on the jaguars back.

Mine is the jaguar one with the red paper behind it.

Our amazing show 2

I have already wrote about the first part of the show. Now we have started doing full year 4-6 rehearsals. We have learned the finale dance and it is looking great. I have learned my lines completely and have started to add more expression and make it sound like I am really the person who I am acting to be.

We ahve started to also make props. posters and tickets for the show. The light people have also started to work out the light. Our dance is looking amazing. Well, really the whole production is amazing. I rate it 10/10.

Our amazing show

For the last 2 weeks the year 4-6 classes (room 1,2,3,4,5,6,20 and 21 and the flash mob) have been working on a show. We are thinking of calling it........ THE  MUSIC BOOK! 

First 2 teachers and 2 children had to work on a script. When that was done they had to sort out witch class did what dance. Our class (room 2) is doing party rock anthem. Then they held auditions for the speaking parts. I got the mum's part! We have been practicing our dance and it is looking great. This afternoon we are learning the finale dance!

The main story is:

There is 2 girls (Rebecca and Georgia) are getting a present for their best friend (Emma) Birthday. They go to the book store to look for a book about music/ dancing. The shopkeeper gives them a book and says that it is a very special book and they can't let adults see it. On the way to Emma's house they read from the book the dance that they read about comes to life. They bring the book to Emma's house as it is her present. Emma's brothers (Max and Chris) are there and they are really annoying. They keep trying to read the book with the girls even when the mum (me) keeps telling them not to. The boys put a yucky flavor in the girls cupcakes and the mum has to tell them off.b At the end the boys get sent to their room and watch our dances on their TV. Then all the kids read the book together. The finale (with all the classes who did dances) come on and do a dance. All together there were 10 dances.

Shake out

Last week we did something called shake out. It is a earthquake drill which everyone in the whole country does. We did it at 9:15 am. It is a practice so if there is a real earth quake we know exactly what to do. There is 3 simple steps to tell you what to do.

Here is a couple videos that we watched:

Kiwi 4 Kiwi morning tea

Today room 1 & 2 did a kiwi for kiwi morning tea. This is a fundraiser for an organisation called kiwi for kiwi.  All the profits that we made at this morning tea go to the kiwi foundation so they can: put up traps for pests like Possums, stoats, rats and hedgehogs. Also to incubate the kiwi eggs to that we can increase the population. Did you know that only 1 kiwi in every 10 eggs survive?

The Kiwi for kiwi morning tea is a competition and the first prize is a visit from the one and only......... BUG MAN! There is also second and third prizes but we are going for the first prize.

Yesterday each person in room 1 & 2 baked something yummy like: cookies, cupcake, lollies and cake and then brought  it in  to school today. Then in the morning we make posters, popcorn and set all the yummy food out on wooden tables in front of of room 1-6. There was 1 year 3-4 table, 2 year 1-2 tables and 1 year 5-6 table. When the morning tea bell went 4 children from room 1 and 2 went behind each stall to collect the money. All the food was 50 cents each. 

After morning tea we all put a slip of paper with our name and our guess of how much money we made in an ice cream box. I guessed $443.20. Then some children counted all the money and we got to a total of exactly $600.10. Amazing right?

I hope that we have raised enough money to help at least 1 kiwi and maybe even get a visit from the BUG MAN!
