Some fabulous photos by Mrs Tombolato of our performance to the Junior school.

On the 4 of December the Middle School introduced us to their performance. Their item was called Rainbows. There was a boy called Robert who loved different kind of colours.

The first colour was red. They all sang a song called Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer, Pohutukawa Tree and Take a little Bit of Red. Two girls stood up with red ribbons and waved the ribbons.

The second colour was Orange. The marchers came on. I thought they looked fantastic in their costumes, and they worked so hard to learn the dance.

The third colour was yellow like the bright sun. The Bananas in Pajamas looked silly in their warm Pajamas. Then two people pretended to be Yellow birds.

Now the next colour is green, my favorite colour. The Irish dancers were amazing with their flash costumes. The Irish dancers were amazing!

The next colour was blue, the colour of the sea. For blue they did Blue Suede Shoes. It was just wonderful!

The next colour was indigo, the colour of beetroot. For indigo, it was these two girls who did an indigo rap. They were quite nice after all.

The next colour is purple, the colour of pretty purple poppies! They did the flying purple people eater! It was so funny!

Next they had a girl play the violin and I nearly cried! It was so lovely!

Soon it was the Rainbow Connection. It was all the colours of the rainbow! My favourite part was when they did the waltz. It was so romantic!

My favourite part was when they did the Irish dancing! I think I want to relive it again!

Oranges and Lemons March

This is a clip from our performance to the Junior school. The marchers look fabulous in their orange and white costumes.

Gardening

In the holidays I gardened with my dad. We took the roots out of the dirt and mud. I saw fat worms, short worms, long worms, and even skinny worms. The garden is about 10 metres long. My dad and I have only done half of it.

How we got the roots out was; first you have to get a shovel and turn the dirt or mud over. Then you have to get a rage and rake the roots out.

My dad was thinkling about getting a worm farm, and to get some vegetable plants, fruit plants and maybe he might get some herbs.

The next day we carried on with the work. My mum brought some drinks for me and my dad. We planted some chilli plants that were in pots. Then we decided that we should plant them into our garden. My dad planted the big one and I planted the small one.

It was fun planting and digging. I hope we do it again some day!
