Capital E Festival of the Arts

On Thursday we went on a school trip to Capital E Festival of the Arts. All of the year 7/8 went. There was three really cool shows that we watched.

Title: Gabez
Actors: Masatomi Yoshida and Hitoshi Ono
By: Masatomi Yoshida and Hitoshi Ono

It was a silent comedy act that was really funny. They did a whole bunch of different short acts. The venue was cramped but the rest of it was amazing. My favourite part was when the rubber duck lost its voice.


rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Title: Tröll
Actors: Hannah Smith and Ralph McCubbin Howell
By: Trick of the light theatre

I thought it was really well done. It was unlike any thing I have ever seen and I think a lot of people will be able to connect with the deeper meaning in it. The deeper part was the troll represents depression and letting in the light was telling some one what was happening.

My rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Get NZ Writing - Write Your Own Story

We did a project about poems. We were all given an item. I got a ship in a bottle. Then we all had to write 1 or 2 poems each about our item. I wrote two poems. We also made a class poem using a google form. Then we sent them to another school. We had to get a lot of words and use a thesaurus to make them better. Then we had to use an anagram generator to find an anagram.  I also did some words in another language.

On Thursday we went to the moari land hub. We went there to learn about technology. First we had to make a piano with carrots. Me and Noah found it easy.
Then we had to make a game controller witch we struggled to make the down key work. Then we had to make an object with cardboard, paper and tin foil. We made a pool and Drew did a voice over so when you touch it, it played his voice over. We found it hard to make it all stick together. We did get it finished.

My Poems

The Kitchen
If i'm stupid I might feel the scorching heat of the oven.
I can taste yummy food  being cooked.
I can smell delicious food in the cupboard.
I can hear the jug boiling.
I can see my mum cooking.

The Beach
I love feeling the cold water on my legs.
I hate the taste of salt water.
My fish and chips smell great.
The waves crash thunderously on the shore .
The shimmering moon light reflects off of the evening waves.

My Room
I can feel my soft comfortable bed.
My lollies taste amazing.
My room smells like sweet and sour lollies.
The floor creaks whenever some one is coming.
I can see college from my room.

Soccer Pitch
The grass feels soft when I tackle some one.
Some times I taste mud that was kicked up.
The field is filled with the disgusting odour of sweat.
The sound of the ball hitting the cross bar can be relieving and devastating.
I can see mud every where.
