Jessica Watson

This is Raenan's,  Starford's and my movie about Jessica Watson and where she sailed around the world.

Zirka Circus comes to town...

Wow! Going to the circus. We looked on in awe and I thought that it was amazing. These men were in a metal circle (kind of like a hula hoop) doing tricks. The second thing I liked was these two circles but they were connected. At first he was in the circle just going round and around. Then this Asian man jumped out of the circle on top of it. Suddenly he started juggling while walking around the outside of the metal rotating circle. It was a death defying act, he was blind folded while walking around the outside of the metal circle. Click here to go to their website.

The other performance that I enjoyed watching was when all the Asian men were wearing hats and they were all in sync swapping, juggling and passing them around. They would throw a hat up in the air and do a somersault and then catch it. The other trick that I liked was when this fire lord, he lit some swords on fire and stabbed them into a girl that was locked inside a metal box. When they opened the metal box, she had disappeared. They closed it again and then…three Asian ladies came out of the box. During some of their performances they made mistakes. Some people didn't catch stuff, one lady fell off her unicycle of did something wrong. Circus' are never that perfect.

Immersion assembly

Nooo! Back to school. I spotted something strange while I was entering the hall for our Immersion Assembly. It was the first day of school and the staff were dressed up related to the topic for this Term is Mighty Mariners.

The Team that I liked was Team 4 It was Miss Squires,Miss V,Miss,Mr Barks and Miss Barks. Mr Barks looked funny because he had a Long red beard and Miss Barks said they were from “Greenland”. Mr Barks said It’s called Greenland to trick you into coming to Greenland. They said it’s really cold there like ice cold. Miss V was a Polynesian sailor they use a net to catch fish and brought coconuts so if they couldn't find any water they would drink the coconuts.

The next Team that I liked was Team 2 Miss She as a pirate and Miss burne as James Cook. It was funny because Miss She was poking Miss Burne with her pirate sword while Miss Burne was talking.

I liked this Immersion Assembly I hope that next years one will be as good.

A Weekend Experience

On Saturday 26th June, my mum and I went to the Highland Park cinemas to watch Shrek 4 (Forever After). My favourite part of the movie was watching Puss in Boots. I liked it because Puss in Boots is fat and he can’t do flexible things. Plus his boots can’t fit him anymore. I really like that movie because its different to the other Shrek movies.

The next day I went to Rainbows End with one of my best friend’s Matthais and his cousin. It was freezing cold. We went on the Gold Rush, Invader, Power Surge, Log Flume, Roller Coaster and the Motion Master. After we went toilet we made our way to the games arcade. We played heaps of games like a fighting one. You get tickets from some of the games for prizes. Me, Matthais and his cousin got 74 tickets altogether. But we didn’t spend it. Because we chose to go on the rides first.
