Fiery shapes

Tick Tock Tick Tock, I was waiting for lunch to be over because I was very excited!! After lunch we were going to do one of my favourite subjects at Enrich art, and today for art we get a huge piece of paper and we get to pick what type of art we want to do but it has to been what we have been doing for the past three weeks. We had the choice drip painting, masking tape painting or impressionist. Everyone in my group chose masking tape including me because it is so fun!! Masking tape painting is when you get some masking tape and put it on some paper in random places the you paint in the gaps,  then when you peel off the masking tape you get a cool effect of white lines and colourful shapes.  I choose to do a firey one made out of three colours yellow, orange or red. 

This is my group painting.

This is me and my finished painting.

Its nearly Christmas!!!!

Hi everyone. I know Christmas is two months away but I am really excited, because instead of doing a passion project I am doing Nicolas Singing 201. Its a group thats kind of a carry on group from the Performance group!! The most exciting thing though is, at the end of the year we will be going up and down the streets of Invercargill singing Christmas carols. We had a practice today and we listened to the medley which is a mixture of a whole lot of Christmas carols. It's really cool and a wee bit tricky. Theres one bit of the song that is really fast and it's hard to keep up with the song!! After that we ran through the song a couple of times and we listened to the song 'Burn' by Ellie Goulding because we will be singing that song at the Year Six Leavers night. I quite like the song 'Burn' and it's easy, so that's good.

Mum get ready for the next two months! You will be listening to a lot of Christmas carols!!

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!!
