WE DID IT
WE DID IT
WE DID IT
WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!
From this experience I have learnt that choreography is a lot harder than it looks, Revolting Children was my favourite of out it and the Time Warp, Time Warp was our class production and on the day when we went on stage, Nadia and I went to the front as we knew the moves by heart, but when we went onto the stage, about six of the class didn't actually go onto the stage. That is not counting the people that were away on the day so quite a few people didn't get to actually perform. One of the only things I enjoyed was dancing with Nadia as she is energetic.
Revolting Children, however, went much better than the Time Warp, with a lot more people going onto the stage and participated. That and we got a lot more time to work on it. It was a lot more fun because we all did the choreography almost perfectly and the singing was quite clear. If did this again I think we would try to get a lot more time to practice and maybe get some costumes or make sure we're all in perfect school uniform.

PLANNING A HOLIDAY FOR MATHS???
For maths, we were given the task of planning a ten-day trip, we were given three categories to choose from including 'Family On A Dime', 'Average Joe' and 'Money Can Buy Happiness'. At the start, we had to do all three including activities, accommodation, food and pricing it all up. But after our teacher realised that that wasn't going to happen he asked us to create a pamphlet on the holiday we had already done. I did this on a site called Venngage with the category of 'Family On A Dime'. Here is a link to my work.
And an ending question, if you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Greed
"More, more, MORE" The greedy man screeched.
Nobody could stand him. He was a good for nothing king and taxed his own people thousands of dollars a year. His name was not known anymore, people just called him Greed. He hoarded all sort of objects, money was his favourite, he had 5 dogs, 6 cats, 10 ponies, 7 horses, 15 birds, and what his people thought were thousands of other animals. He had over 50 servants and that did not include his cooks and butlers. Yet the man could not have enough, he could never have enough. But, he still wanted it. He ate enough food to feed a family of three himself. His poor butler had to go with the man everywhere and has never in his 30 years of working with the man had a day off.
But, let us get back to Greed.
At this time he was demanding blankets, it was the middle of winter and he was demanding blankets from the entire town. He couldn't buy his own, no he had to take them from the town as the ones he had were keeping those ignored animals warm even though some of them were sweating lakes because of the heat. But, the 'king' would stop at nothing to get what he wanted. He would even execute children if that meant he would get what he wanted.
So we called him Greed.

The teachers being vague so I'm writing about musicals I haven't seen.
I haven't seen Wicked, but I haven't seen many other Broadway musicals either so I'm writing about it.
I like the idea of going to see Wicked because I've heard so many good things about it and even heard snip its of the music and have enjoyed the shorts I've heard.
I probably haven't seen Les Misérables either, but do I care?
I found it really surprising when I found out that the whole Les Misérables is sung all the way through and doesn't have parts in between the songs that are normally spoken.
I really should watch Matilda, but take a guess of what I didn't do... Watch it!
I am not the biggest fan of Matilda because of how it was edited and how it didn't stick any closer to the original book by Roald Dahl, I still like the musical though.

Wandering through the graveyard it felt like something was watching me...
I didn't feel so confident visiting Grandma Rose anymore, I squeezed the bouquet of flowers that I held tightly and kept walking through the darkness. It felt like the spirits were watching me, judging me, shaming me. I don't think they approve of what I did. But, I had to keep thinking of Grandma Rose. Then out of no where I trip on a tree root and fall face first into the ground getting a taste of the muddy grass that who knows what walked across, or floated. I shivered at the thought and picking up the bouquet, I got up only to realise I found Grandma Rose.
Grandma Rose was a sweet lady, I say that because she was a baker. A great one too, she would use the sweetest icing to decorate cupcakes and adorn them with icing roses. But, she was always lonely, I never really saw why. Grandma Rose was talented, beautiful and kind, kind enough to adopt me as her grand daughter from the orphanage I was left at so many years ago. I couldn't even muster the kind of happiness I felt that day, neither could I ever weep so much again.
"What is it you're looking for, pumpkin?" I didn't believe my ears, I couldn't. I could hear Grandma Rose. I looked behind me for the prankster, but saw no one, but a man at a grave mourning his loss. He was quite a way away so it couldn't of been him. I looked to her grave again and whispered her name into the night black sky. I saw nothing, but the shimmer of stars. I thought that I was just hoping that she would come back, and my mind was creating that reality. Who doesn't? Who wishes to see their loved ones go through death?
Well, I do know someone, the person who killed her, Grandma Rose, you wouldn't guess...
It had been her own son.

I didn't mean to kill her...
It was a mistake...
If I could turn back time, I would...
Just so I could save, her...
My sister, Avalynn...
It started three months ago, we were a pair of travelling students from Tokyo, Japan. We never travelled too far, we stayed in Japan. We went from school to school, looking to see if we could find a more permanent fixture. It was just me and Avalynn, travelling, most of my greatest memories are with her. We had been to so many places, the foot of the icy Mount Fuji, Disney Land was by far the best, but what we had planned was the best yet.
We were planning to go to the Sapporo Snow Festival it's held annually in Sapporo, Japan. We'd been to one in Susukino before, but this year we were headed for Tsudome, it's a multi-purpose hall located in Sapporo, Japan, and then we were travelling through some cities and even getting a ferry so we could go home in time for Hanami.
But, this trip was her last, we were so close.

MATH :'( GAME :D
Over some time we learnt about fractions, decimals and percentages and had to make a Digital Learning Object (DLO) to show what we learnt. On this blog post I will be talking about the game I have made.
BUT THIS IS NO ORDINARY GAME.
YOU WON'T EVEN NOTICE THAT YOU'RE LEARNING WHILE PLAYING IT.
LEARNING ABOUT:
DECIMALS
FRACTIONS
AND WORST OF ALL:
PERCENTAGES.
But okay really, the type of game I have made is basically making your way through the maze and picking the right answers on the right levels, they always are the same answers though wouldn't be too much fun if you had to play it for too long.
I also added a tricky little thing where you will only understand if you READ THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE SCRATCH SITE. It is where you will find out how to work the game. But it isn't exactly finished so if you did play it, it would be often changed around.
Here are the sources I used to help me with this game:
How to make a Maze Game (On Scratch)
Research Source
Scratch Site
So, against the total subject, what do you think about a lot of Disney males, I mean Aladdin, Shang, even Maui, not having nipples? In other movies Disney males do still have nipples, don't ask it somehow came up in our maths class...
My friends and I are very frustrated and our now doing real research...
