Dance Fever 24.8.13

This morning the room 10 students had dance lessons with Dance Fever. We learnt a few more steps to our hip-hop routine. Then we learnt this new move called the canon. We had to get this move in time with the song because it wouldn't look right if we did the move with wrong timing. Next we learnt the basics for our cha-cha as we partnered up. The as we were ending our lesson Kristina asked us to think about a theme for our school as apart of our costumes. Overall I had fun today. Even though my day hasn't ended I reckon today was the highlight of my day;-)

This is the story of ROSE TOWN

During summer break Sophia, Trent and their family went on a vacation for 10 days at Rose Town. It was basically a forest but it with houses it was alright. “Wake up Trent we’re finally  here” said Sophia with excitement. Sophia is 12 and Trent is 9. Once they entered the house they jumped with gladness it was everything they had ever imagined. There was a pool, tennis court, basketball court and the kitchen was even filled with lollies.

Then Sophia decided to go explore the town a bit more so she went for a walk, so she left and started walking through the woods. Sophia could hear crunched leaves walking behind her, she turned around but there was no one there. “There it is again huh” said Sophia. Someone grabbed her and hustled her to the ground. I felt scared. They anonymous person behind me punched the lights out if me. When I woke up I was in a old rust dark house in the woods. “Oh hello how are you feeling MUAHAHAHAHA (evil laugh)” said the anonymous man.

Before Sophia even got up the man chainsawed her head and it came off like a snap of FUN STICKS. The anonymous man began to laugh in a cheeky voice “MUAHAHAHA”. Sophia family is still waiting for her to arrive back to Rose town, but she never returned.
THIS IS THE STORY OF ROSE TOWN!
The end;-)

Inquiry Presentation

Dance Fever Recount

Today 2 dance instructors from Dance Fever came to teach Room 10 students. It was our first lesson. We learnt the first few steps of the dance. It was a little bit awkward for me and Gemima because we had to pose in 3 different ways. We first got told the rule then we got straight into it.  

Overall I had a blast because I got over my awkward feelings. I especially liked the end of the lesson because we got to play  a game. We had a Dance Fever dance battle at the end but the boys got all the points.
