Cinderella

This week we had a visit from a story teller called Kim.  He came to show us a play called Cinderella.  He told us that this play has lots of dances and music, but there were no dancers or actors which surprised me because he wouldn't be able to do the play all by himself.  When Kim called up the first group of children, I then realised that all the classes were helping with the play.

Room 2 and 3 were birds and they had to clean the cobwebs from 

the walls and ceiling and eat the spiders up.

 Their part was funny when they were running around the room pretending to eat spiders.

Room 4 had to play the part where Cinderella was heading to the ball.  The fairy godmother danced around the room and then gracefully introduced Cinderella to the audience.

The children from Rooms 5 & 6 had to play the part where everyone was dancing at the ball.  I found the steps tricky because I had to do funny things with my feet but I managed in the end.  The clock was struck, Cinderella ran out and everyone danced to 'Dancing Queen.'

Miniball

Our miniball players were treated to a special session with Brent Charleton and Lamar Gayle from the Otago Nuggets.

These two very tall men came to school to teach us some miniball skills.  We had lots of fun dribbling the ball up and down the court, trying to steal the ball of other players and passing the ball to each other.

Look at this great action shot!  He may play for the Nuggets one day.
