Exploding in the wrong place!!!!

How embarrassing!!!! We were sitting all happy and then my face turned red. The performance group were watching our video from last Tuesday night (our performance) Then I remembered that I exploded in the wrong place. I didn't want to watch myself at all!!! Luckily Darryn wasn't filming me at the time but my sister was. My Mum keeps on watching the bit where I go wrong and laughing at me - its so embarrassing. Next time I will not explode in the wrong places.

Dance until you drop!!!

Hello!! This afternoon has been a hot dancy afternoon!! We have been practicing a dance for our performance. Today we learnt the verses and we practiced the chorus. After the dance I was very hot and could hardly walk..... but it was still fun.

I am still in the top six for chess!! I am coming fourth place. PS Jason you will have to try hard to beat me in a game of chess!!

One, Two THREE!!!

I challenge you for chess!! It was chess time and I decided to challenge Mia who was third place on the chess leader-board. The game started and on the fourth move she took my Queen!! I knew I was going to lose or maybe I wouldn't. In the middle our game it was morning tea we carried on playing and things started to get better for me. For about ten moves I got her in check then finally I got her in check mate!!! Now I am moved up to the top three and I am going very well. Maybe next week I could be in first place!!

A bit like a monkey!!

Musical, body movement, and language. Hello! Today at Enrich we got put into groups and each teacher took a group.  I was with Nicola doing a Multiple Intelligence results test. All you have to do is answer some questions - for example - do you like music and you would have to answer. There are five possible answers;     
1 you don't like music. 
2 you don't really like it.
3 you think it is ok.
4 you like it.
5 you love it.
My top three ones were musical, body movement, and language as I said at the start.

Then we did talent development. In performance group we did some warm-ups using our vowels and copying skills. Next we learnt a new song called Some Thing Are Meant To Be from the musical Little Women. It is an emotional song that can be quite hard to sing. After that we did photo shoots - we did this so we can get experience taking a professional shot for any auditions and Nicola is going to hang them up on our performance wall. In my one I am hanging in a tree a bit like a monkey. 

Goodbye !!!

Newspaper

 And  Nicola will be running her newspaper today said Katie - yay I think!! When it came to the time, I did some more work on my ideas. I did some questions for an interview with The Edge because they are my favorite radio station. I can't wait for next week to do more work on my newspaper ideas. I love doing the newspaper because I love to write!! 

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.
