What it feels like to be in the top six!!!

I am so proud of myself do you want to know why? Well in chess I played Ali who was in the top six and you will never believe what happened... I bet her so now I am in the top six!! I was really lucky because through the game every second time I moved, I got a piece. Well thats what I think. So I ended up taking all her pieces but her king then I got it in check-mate!! 

I never thought I would make it to the top six!!!! I am quite nervous about next week because my best friend Madison challenged me for a game of chess for next week already, and she is really good!!

I had a really good day and watch out Jason I will beat you in a game of chess!!

A colorful morning!!!

This morning at performance group it was really fun!!!!!! First we did some warm ups they were singing voices that Nicola played on the keyboard, then we played big booty. It was a great activity. Here's how you play it. You choose someone to start as big booty. Ours was Mia. Next you get numbered. I was number 7. Then big booty would say "big booty big booty big booty rest, big booty big booty big booty seven" (someones number). Then that person would say it. Then we got onto the singing!! First because Nicola wasn't here last week we sang our new song "Like An Eagle". Then we sang "Life On Mars". Nicola really wanted us to work on our opening our mouths so we could really get it out and be loud.

Next we had some fun with these new skirts! Nicola bought from a lady in Tauranga. They are big frilly tulles! We put them all on Mia. She looked like a big cake.

Omg

OMG!! This is my favourite song we sing at the performance group for talent development!!!! So today for talent development we first did  some warm ups they were...  YOU.  That's when you say the word "You" but at the same time pointing at someone, then as you go around the group you start quietly then you get louder, it's really great to play. We did the same thing with the word HASH. That"s a game when you count to twenty but 12345 has to be happy h, 678910 has to be angry a, 11 12 13 14 15 has to be sad s, and 16 17 18 19 20 has to be happy again h, We did more of those games using stop and fact!! Then time for the singing!! First we did Is There Life On Mars?.   I don't really like that song it's too slow!! Then we sang my second favourite  Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, it's a great song!! Then we sang Like A Eagle. I don't really like that song much either, it's another slow one and I like them to be upbeat. Then for  the last song my  favourite song OMG. I had a great day.

My great day.

Maybe I should learn more about chess I said, because it was chess time and Katie was doing a chess lesson with the big chess set. So first we got into a team black, or white, I was on the black team with Emily, Grace, Madison, Norton, and Me!!

Emily started. For the first moves we didn't have a plan but then we got some plans into the game!! Who would win? We still haven't finished our game but next week I will tell you who won. After that was morning tea. Then we had performance group. We warmed up then got started. We sang don't stop me now. Its really fun because you can open your mouth and yell! Then we used a new song called life on mars it was ok but not my favorite. Then we sang oh my. This is my favorite song that we sing!! I can't wait for next week at Enrich.
