Recount of a Folk Dancing Festival by Alex

Hooray! It was Folk dancing on Tuesday the 17th of August 2010. We went to the hall to practice the grand March before we left.

We went by bus to the ASB Stadium to dance. When we got there we did line dances, circle dances and partner dances. Then we had morning tea. After Morning Tea we watched a stage performance.

On the way out we got some balloons. We hopped onto the bus and got back to school. I really enjoyed the folk dancing festival and would like to go back next year.

Narrative of Peter and the Wolf rewritten by Alex

Early one morning Peter walked into the meadow. He saw his friend Bird. Duck was happy because Peter left the gate open.

Grandpa was disappointed that Peter went into the meadow. Bird and Cat were fighting. Cat thought it was a good time to get Bird. Instead he chased Duck.

Peter and Bird caught Wolf on a string. The hunters tried to shoot the Wolf. Peter said: “No, help me take him to the zoo”. If you listen closely you can still hear Duck quacking in Wolf’s stomach.

The Duffy Show

Yes! It’s the Duffy show.
The students and staff of Glenbrae School went down to hall on Wednesday the 21st of July 2010 to watch the Duffy Show.

The actors introduced themselves. Duffy spun the wheel. He had to be a cook. To be a cook he needed to relax.

At the end we had to say some words. I learnt to read more. The show was amazing.
