Brendan's discovery
Me in the ODT. Pretty cool, I have been spotted. I was in the paper because I entered the current events quiz. There were lots of schools doing the quiz. The group that I was in may not have won, but I had lots of fun. There were really hard questions. Some questions were who am I? There were some about flags.

Cross Country
The 15th of September 2011 was a cold, wet and rainy afternoon.
That afternoon our School had the cross country. It was held across the road at the big grass field. We went through the races pretty quickly and soon it was my turn!
I had butterflies fighting in my tummy trying to free themselves. Mr Bros then bashed the two wooden blocks together BANG! We raced off around the track we had to run around the field twice! Halfway round I got the stitch and started to jog. But when I noticed how close the finish line was I immediately broke into a sprint. When I received a placing I ended up getting fifth place! I was very proud with myself and hope that everyone enjoyed the cross country!

Cross Country
On Thursday the 15th of September we had the school cross country. I didn’t think it would be on because it was raining. After lunch we went over to the field to get ready for the races. When it was my turn I nervously waited by the starting line. Then Mr. Bros said GO. Then I ran around the track. We had to do two big laps. After the first lap I got the stitch but I had to keep running. Everyone was cheering. At the end I came second.

Stars on stage
I was in stars on stage. I didn’t want to do it at the start but I decided to do it any way and I'm glad I did it once we found out what we were doing. We had to do lots of practices including at lunch time and during school time. It took so long to get our dance right and the finale dance and getting it in time with the music. The best one for me was Taieri College. The worst thing about doing stars on stage was the heat. I really enjoyed it and I would like to do it again if I get too. I was in the card army.
Stars on Stage
On the 22nd of August we had stars on stage. We performed at the Regent theater. We had to get face paint of hearts clubs spades or diamonds. After we got our face paint on it was home time and I got my long sleeved top on and long johns or tights and by then I was really feeling the nerves. When I was ready we went to the regent then when I got out I started to feel sick. Then it was time to go in. When we got in we went and sat down and waited for our turn. Finally it was our turn. We went and got into my costume and went to the place where you wait to go on stage. When the curtains went down we went to my starting position and the curtains went up. The music started. Everyone went quiet and that made me even more nervous. When Alice had finished her first song the caterpillar’s song came on. It was really loud and then the next and the next, and it was finally the cards. When I got out there I felt fantastic. I did the dance and when it was finished I was glad. My favorite show was Taieri collage.
Thank you Miss Cooper
Stars on stage
On Tuesday the 23rd of August some of the people from Room 5, 6 and 7 went to the Regent Theatre to do our performance which was ‘Stars on stage’. Our theme was Alice in Wonder land. We all had to be at first church at 6:30 so then we would all walk over to the regent as a school. Mr. Bros got to first church at about 5:50 and then we all walked over to the regent. When we got over to the Regent Theatre we walked inside and I saw that the regent was just starting to fill up. We went and got our seats and sat down and we started singing along to the music. Then these people Damian and Niki from more FM were there. Before any of the schools started they showed different types of dances. Then he told us this weird zebra joke! It went like this, what is black and white and eats like a horse. Then all the schools had their go and then it was time for us to go on. I felt so nervous. We went out of the room and got all dressed and went out. Then it was time for us to shine. When it was my time to go on I was really nervous but when I was on I didn’t really mind because the lights were so bright so I couldn’t see the audience so I was fine. Then we did our final dance and went off stage and ran back to our seat and watched the last dance. Then Damian told us a monkey joke and it went like this! There were two monkeys in a bath and the first monkey said “hoo ah ah” and the second monkey said put the cold water on then. I really enjoyed it and I hope we can do it in two years time.
Stars on stage
Stars on Stage was an awesome experience to have to do and I liked doing Stars on Stage because of the practices and the costumes and the story. I reckon it was real awesome to be in it and my favorite character out of our story was the caterpillar because he looked awesome and he had awesome face paint too. The bit we had to do was hard and easy at the same time but I’m glad I got to do Stars on Stage for my first time in my life. I did it because someone said it was fun to do. I really want to do it again because it was fun to do and it was fun to have a costume on. On the night I was real nervous to do it but I got the feeling away from me before we got on. The best school was probably Taieri College I reckon. Their story was awesome to watch.
Stars on stage
I liked Stars on stage because the practices were fun and going into the Regent Theatre to practice and perform, but my favorite part was getting to perform on the 23rd of August with lots of other schools. My favorite school was East Taieri and they did Scooby doo. My favorite costume was the Mad Hatter and the King’s clothes. My least favorite part was the heat and the practices at lunch times. Stars on stage was an awesome experience and I can’t wait until next time. It was really fun. I enjoyed it and I can’t wait until next time.
Props for stars on stage.
For stars on stage I did the props with Lewis M and Max. First I did a tea pot. We made it with an origami water balloon. Next I made the tea pot lid. Then I put the handle and spout on. After that we made a hedge, with paint a blanket and newspaper. We scrunched up a piece of paper with paint and smashed it on the blanket. Then I did the last tea pot. That was the hardest because the bits wouldn’t go on. Then we had to paint the tea pots blue and red. I enjoyed making the tea pots.

NICE WORK MISS COOPER:-]
Making props for Stars on stage
For Stars on Stage Miss Cooper set Jack, Max and I a challenge. The three of us would be making props for Stars on Stage. I don’t know about the other two but I was straight into it. After everyone had left for a practice run me, Jack and Max started making teapots. Jack and Max were working together while I started on my three spouted teapot. When I got the shape of the teapot it started to look like a top hat.
When we had finished all the teapots Miss Cooper took them and put them in the library. The day before stars on stage Miss Cooper asked me if I could help her get ready for the big day.
It was really fun making the props and I really hope that I get to do it again.

Stars on Stage
On the 23rd of August we had our performance, ‘Stars on Stage’. At 6:25 I arrived at the First Church lawn. Everyone else was there waiting and Mr Bros was there and he was controlling everyone because we were very excited! When Jaylah arrived I ran over to her and I yelled out “this is so exciting” and she replied “yeah I know”! When Mrs Baines, Mrs Dillon and Miss Cooper arrived we all started clapping and cheering. Once they parked the car they came and met us and then we went across the road and took our seats. First up was Ravensboure school and they danced really well and they had stripy pants and a wig which was dreadlocks! Later on it was our turn so we stood up and walked down to our dressing room, we were all in a rush and we finally got dressed and we put our masks on and everything! When everyone was dressed and ready we then walked up the stairs and we then had to wait so long for the other school to finish their performance. Once they had finished we went to our spots and Miss Cooper put all the props on the stage and then we started our awesome performance. Alice did some great dancing and so did everyone else. When it was my turn to dance I was not even that nervous!
After our performance we were absolutely gobsmacked! Everyone did so well! I thought it was very fun and everyone else loved it too!
Thank you very much Miss Cooper for a fun experience.

Art with Mrs Dykes
On Wednesday the 17th of August room six at St Marys did art with Mrs Dykes. We had to choose between a turtle, lizard or a snake. First we had a brown colour for our background. We had to wait for it to dry. Once it was dry we did our animal in black paint. Once it was dry we painted dots with a cotton bud. It looked really cool. Then we did flowers and dots in the background. The whole class enjoyed doing the art.

Our poems
Our Poems
With Mrs. Dykes we wrote up in our books a poem called ‘Magic stuff’. Once we had written the original poem in our books we made our own remix of it. Some poems were really disgusting but still cool. We made up lots of yucky ingredients and put them into our poem. When we had done as much lines as we can we could, we copied the rest of the poem from the original copy. We typed them up and printed them out on a big copy and decorated them.

Poem Pictures
Poem pictures
With Mrs Dykes we are doing poem pictures! First we
write up the poem. We always use slope and flicks when
we write. Then we take them home to draw a picture
that would go with it! On every Wednesday we take them
back to school, so Mrs Dykes can see our progress with
the picture! Once Mrs Dykes has seen all of our work we
have to write up a new one! We all have fun doing it and
we put a lot of work into it.
THANK YOU!

Pacific Art
Pacifica Art
We are learning how to make Pacific art with Mrs. Dykes. We had to fold it into eight pieces. “None less than eight or more than eight”, said Mrs. Dykes.
We had fun sketching up Pacific arts and colouring it in. People chose four colours that they wanted on their art and in the end they looked great.

Stacy and Cecilia's poem
I’m mixing up a special stew
With dirty undies and a cockatoo
Strawberry lipstick and a mouse’s tail
Old man cat, and some ladies nails
A goat’s throat covered in goo
Ended up in someone’s shoe
And when it’s done the special lotion
Will turn into a gooey potion
It’s absolutely guaranteed-
Just one spoonful’s all you need
To take on something big and
Shrink it
But will my younger sister drink it?

Lilly and Jaylah's poem
Magic Stuff
I’m mixing up a special stew
First I’m putting in horse poo
Started cooking up a special dish
With seven week old moldy fish
I put in a sneeze,
Blew up old cheese,
And when it’s done, this special potion
Is absolutely guaranteed-
Just one spoonful’s all you need
To take on something big and shrink it...
But will my father drink it?

Laura and Jorja's poem
Magic Stuff
I’m mixing up a special potion
From stinky toenails and body lotion
Tuna dog food, expired Ribena
Mouldy carrots and shoe cleaner
Snails, snot and slimy goo
And when it’s done, this special brew
Is absolutely guaranteed –
Just one tablespoon’s all you desire
Then soon after you’ll spit it in the fire…
BUT will my father drink it?

Lachlan and Jack's poem
Gross Stuff
I’m mixing up a special brew.
From stinky poo and worms too,
Clip nails and 7 tails,
Action girl and 9 snails,
A big claw and chopped up paw,
Some really stinky wild boar,
And when it’s done this special potion
Is absolutely guaranteed-
Just one spoonful is all you’ll need
To take on something small and grow it.
But will my Monster drink it?

Josh's article...
Harry Potter at cinemas for the 7th time
By Josh Hyde
People are racing in to see the new Harry Potter movie. It opened October and its been a big rush to see it. Josh Hyde aged 10 had this to say “It is the best movie ever. Some people found it scary but I found it hilarious and interesting.” After these comments the people who were listening rushed in to see it. When people came out they talked to us. “We heard gasping popcorn falling people laughing. We absolutely loved it.” they said. John Hyde (45) had this to say “I laughed I gasped it was very good. Next we interviewed people about their favourite part. “I liked the fight at the Malfoys.” Stated Josh Hyde”. “I liked the part when they destroyed the Horcrux.” Says John Hyde. We recommend you see this movie at Hoyts or Rialto.
Welcome to the Room 6 blog for 2011
