Year 6 Dinner and Dance

The Year 6 Dinner and Dance was on Friday the 26th of October and started at 6pm and went until 9.30pm. The theme for the night was 'A Night In Paris.' To prepare for this night we had practices to learn how to dance three different styles of dances. They were the Cha Cha, Rock n Roll and the Waltz. For some of the decorations we had to make stars and cut them out to then be spray painted silver. Each star had to have nylon put at one end of the star so that it could be hung from the ceiling. One of the decorations was silhouettes that went up around the room. We had to make stencils that were our templates to trace around onto black paper. These were blue tacked around the room, on the walls. Some of us had to blow up around 100 balloons. This was hard on our lungs. For the decorations we all volunteered and participated to get the job done. Firstly for our dinner we had entrees at our tables. This was, very yummy chips, dip, salsa, carrots and crackers. For the main meal we ate scrumptious chicken with a potato bake, coleslaw and a delicious bread bun. Our dessert was mouth-watering ice cream, fruit kebabs with melting marshmallows. The whole night was extravagant and glamorous with all the beautiful dresses and lovely suits. "The food was nice, I loved the chicken. Seconds were as good as the first."

Duffy Theatre

This afternoon we watched the amazing Duffy Theatre show. It was fun and interactive where some had to get up and help the actors. Five children got up to be the books, two were the swinging doors, we were the door bell for the door, five were wrapping paper, the front row were rocks in the ocean, and the rest of us were the stormy waves that the boat was sailing across.

Throughout the whole show we learnt about how Reading can be fun and a way to grow our brains.

The whole show was very entertaining.

Here's what some of us thought:

"I liked it when Louie dressed up and acted as a seven year old girl. It was funny. I also really liked it when they changed the song 'Party Rock Anthem' and did 'Everyday I'm Scruffying/Duffying'." From Tiana and Julia.

"I liked it when Louie made a new name for Piri Weepu. He called him Wiri Peepu. He was funny when he said 'Don't be Jelous' too." From Caylis.

"I liked it when Anna was dressed up as a book and pretended that books actually talk." From Ziyaad.

"I liked it when they did the sound effects from behind the screens." From Shohab.

"I liked it when Louie was running after Anna." From Shridhanjily.

"I liked it when James and Louie were beat-boxing and being a robot." From Andrew.

"I liked it when Louie said Nek-Minit." From Kara and Jada.

"I liked it when Scruffy said he was going to make Marvel into a rugby ball." From Dipkesh.

"I liked it when Louie came out and said that he was turning 103 when he was singing the happy birthday song." From Gloria.

"The whole show was very entertaining and had me laughing right the way through." From Mrs Crawford.

Camp by Tiana

My camp week was one of the best weeks of my life. My favourite activity was the Water Slide because I have never been on one before. My activity that I did not like was the Technology Challenge because my hat kept falling apart and it was a pain to keep it together. I did the rafts, water slide, kayaks and archery. I think Chosen Valley is a good place to try new things.
