My Variety show reflection

Variety Show Reflection

I enjoyed performing in front of lots of parents and learning the dance. I had fun dressing up in our costumes and doing our hair.


I think I got all the right timings for the steps and I smiled the whole way through on all the performances.


What I  found challenging was learning all the steps and getting them correct and in time.


I practiced the dance at home and we also had alot of practice at school to make our dance look perfect on the 2 nights.


I would change some steps if I didnt like them or give a suggestion to change something and try to come up with some steps so I can help more.

Our PCS Variety show

Variety Show Dancers

This week has been really busy we've had 4 full performances  on Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday and Friday. Teagan did our makeup for all 4 performances and Mrs P did our hair into buns. I had so much fun performing I think we did a excellent job on all 4 days. The Variety show is finished now on Friday we performed in front of the whole school so we could see the other classrooms performances.

Reading retelling a book

I had listen to some videos on story line online.  As part of what we were listening we also how to to see how  they were retold by famous people because our activity was to retell a favorite story of ours. Then I had to pick a book and practice reading it and making eye contact with the camera. Then I recorded ourselves. After that I uploaded the video into Windows live movie maker and saved on my blog. Its the first time i ever used Windows live movie maker I thought it was cool and fun too use and i loved all the special effects and things you could do.

Maths finding a fraction of a number

We have been learning to find a fraction of a number.This is how i worked it out.

Making Music covers

our music cover

In room 4 we have been making CD (Music) covers for our variety show that is happening in week 5. I am one of the dancers our song we are doing is E-learners gonna give it to ya. We changed the songs Uptown funk, move and bills into our own versions and made it into a medley. The title is word art and first we took a picture of a few people from each group then Sienna uploaded it on the computer drive. Then we had to cut the image. I made the main cover Ollie helped with cutting the image. 

Youth Town Hockey

The Skills To Play Hockey Today youthtown came and taught us some skills for playing hockey they come every 2nd Thursday this term they will be teaching us hockey. the first thing they taught us was to learn how to hold your stick properly you put your left hand on the top of the grip and you right hand on the bottom of the grip. then they teched us ball control we learnt how to dribble the ball how to move it side to side and how to spin the ball around us. They told us to always keep your hockey stick on the ground and if you were playing a real hockey game if you hit the ball with the round/curved side you will be out so you have to use the flat side. You also have to keep your legs apart but not too far only the defender can put their legs far apart.
