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." By Zian "This was a memorable night and I really liked the dessert." By Shohab "My favourite part of the night was the demonstration dances." By Jada "The food was marvellous." By Kaya "I had lots of fun at the Year 6 Dinner and Dance." By Gloria "This night, I will never forget, especially when toasting the marshmallows over the candles." By Hayden "The time we had there, the place and the food were extraordinary." By Tiana "Extreme. Glamorous. Amazing." By Vaasu "My favourite part of the night was the dessert.” By Seemal “I had lots of fun dancing with my friend.” By Tyreece “I liked the whole glamorous stars hanging above us during the night.” By Shridhanjily “The dance was a wonderful experience.” By Jason “The most fun I had was competing in the dance competition.” By Aria “I liked eating the chicken.” By Ziyaad

Some Duffy Theatre Photo's

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.

Water Properties - Iceburg's

Hi, I'm Prajna and my buddy is Vaasu. In class for our theme everyone had to choose a topic but it had to be about Weather. So Vassu and I looked at water properties. The next step was to ask a question and find facts about it. Our question was 'How does an Iceburg form?' We looked at a couple of resources. These were books from our library corner and the school library. Unfortunately we weren't able to find any facts in these books. Finally we got our answers on the internet. We found out that Iceburg's are calves that break off from larger ice shelves. We also learnt that when the piece of an Iceburg is formed they float on oceans or lakes. One fact that we didn't know was that calves can be formed within seconds. We both hope that you enjoyed reading about Iceburgs and that you learnt something new. By Vaasu and Prajna

My favourite book

My favourite book is Rumplestiltskin because it is funny and everybody like it. You can never get tired of reading about Rumplestiltskin.
