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 22nd of August we had our Stars On Stage performance at the Regent Theater. We all had to meet outside First Church at 6:00pm in our clothes. We got our hair done at school into a German Plate by Miss Copper. I was a flamingo and so was Jaylah, Lilly, Janaya, Zara, Lorie, Ciara. We were all starring in the play ‘ALICE IN WONDERLAND’! Tayla Bell was the main character because she was Alice. Taylor A was a big part too because she was the Queen. My favourite act was the Tweedles because they worked great together and my second favorite was the caterpillar because he wore a very large suit in the show. His outfit was bright blue! I thought it was amazing!!

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.
