Production Rehearsal

Production Reflection

We had production rehearsal this week and it was long and tiring but we slowly got better and the last result was awesome . We had to run through it 10 times and each time takes more than an hour so it adds up to over 11 hours of production practice . I am only in the first 2 scenes so I had to listen and wait for the rest of the production which took a while . It also benefited as a result because I got lots of work done on my reports . It took longer because lots of people were missing there cues and there was a lot of talking which interrupting the speakers . It is quite annoying when you are doing your on stage waiting for your cue . It was not looking good at the start of the week but has progressed a lot and we are actually looking really good and doing well . It takes a while to get costumes sorted because we only started sorting them out yesterday . It took a lot of time and effort to prepare this production but I think it is going to pay off . This year we have some confident speakers and some lower speakers that have learn a lot and are catching up lots . We have a intelligent bunch of kids and I think it is going to be The Best Production Ever !!!!

Speech 2017 Reflection . Olly

 Speech Reflection .

Don't you think a speech would be easy . Well NO . This term I was lucky enough to present a speech  . Lucky right . Wrong . I did speech this term and it was hard . I spent weeks trying to prepare and write it but overall I came out with a pretty good result . I think I went well in writing it . A bit average for delivering it . I think I spoke a bit to quietly and so the audience didn't hear me . But in the end it didn't matter . All that matters was that I had lots of fun . I didn't engage enough with the audience (eye contact) but my smile was what wrapped it all up .

Zoo Trip Reflection

🐅Zoo Trip Reflection🐘

"Slurp" The fruit suddenly disappears from my hand . "Crunch , crunch " Suddenly I turn around only to see the simian gobbling up the sloppy piece of fruit . A gooey source dribbling down his chin . "Ewwwww "I shout . It looked as if  the cookie monster was scoffing another one of his cookies . "Well he got his name for a reason"Boasts Aylee . We were at the simian cage lucky enough to go behind the scenes for a few animals . One of the people in our class (George.) His Mum works at the zoo . Lucky us 😃. We also got to feed the Giraffes . Their blue tongues were gross and slobbered all over my hand . It was disgusting! Hey overall we had an amazing day at the zoo and all really enjoyed it .

Environmental Reflection

Environment Reflection
We are destroying the environment with out even knowing it. Just for money. Letting oil spill into the ocean. Nets dropping out of our boats killing animals. Plastic bags flying out of our hands and we don`t even care. Cutting down trees where animals live, destroying there lives. Did you know that trees give medicine that cures are dioceses. Food that feeds us.We need to do some thing!

Tapa Turtle.

This term we have been learning about tapa cloth.

I learned how to carve.You had to carve away from yourself.I also learnt how to make tapa cloth.We learnt all the steps to make it.There were eight steps.They  are 1.Cut down a mulberry tree.2.Peel away all the white inner bark from the brown inner bark. 3.Roll up the white inner bark.4.lay out bark on wooden log.5.scrap the bark with shells.6.Beat the bark with mullets.7. scratch the inner so it looks like cloth.8.Then paint it with dys. I liked the maths rotations they were very fun.I liked circle power.It was a fun activity where we learnt about symmetry.My favourite activity was wrap it up.We learnt about geometry because in tapa cloth there is lots of patterns.I learnt how to find the lines of symmetry in shapes.I learnt what translation is.It is when you move a shape over,carrying on the pattern.I liked scrunching up the paper.
