The Life of a Ballerina

Hi WWVs (world wide viewers),
Today I did more of my article on The Life Of a Ballerina.
I've writing about-
 Abigail Boyle and Lucy Green - amazing dancers in the Royal New Zealand Ballet,
My sister Kate - who does ballet as well as me,
My friend Breyah - a very talented ballet dancer and...
Miss Gina - my awesome ballet teacher.

Glued to a Screen

Imagine this: A peaceful room with a little bit of talking going on, classical music playing in the background and all eyes glued to a screen (not actually glued). If you can picture that, that's where I was this morning when I was writing an "article". Now if you know me REALLY well you'd think I wouldn't be able to cope but - I did. I was writing an article for the 2014 Enrich@ILT newspaper. It is on Old Babies. Other people are doing things like the latest fashion and sport - just like in a normal paper.

1,2, SMASH!

BANG! CRACK! SMASH! That was me smashing the tiles for my mosaic. I am planning to do a night scene  with a bright full moon, a dark sky and a meadow with lots of red poppies. First, I smashed the yellow tile into rather small pieces to make the moon. Then I smashed the black tile into teeny tiny pieces to make an outline.
This is all part of my passion project - Mosaics.

STRESS

Do you ever wonder what to do when you are stressed? Perhaps you wondered whether you should cry, or tell someone,  or maybe even do nothing? Well, the first two were good, but you definitely shouldn't do nothing. There is lots of different things to do when you are stressed.

One of the best things to do when you are stressed is to take deep breaths. It is also good to do exercise or just go outside and get some fresh air. I learnt all of this in Nicola's stress lesson today. I think that it is good to know what to do when stressed, so that when you are actually REALLY stressed you will get over it quickly.

Last Week of School!

Hi guys, guess what....IT"S THE LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL ( for this term) and I'm really excited!

Today, I grouted and cleaned my mosaic. Which means I'm pretty much finished! Katie got some bottled grout which was really hard to get out but I guess that's a lot easier than making the grout. 

See you later :)

Custom Glitter Text

As you all know (or should know) I am not the best at chess. So, today I was pretty surprised when I got what must have my 3rd or 4th win in my life. It started when I challenged Grace to a game of chess. Then we set up.  I was white and she was black. When we got started I tried to do scholars but Grace stopped me. Scholars is when you do four moves to get the other person in checkmate. Anyway I just kind of had to get on with it and come up with a new plan. After 5 or so turns I got one. Kill all her pieces so it's a couple of pawns and the King. Unfortunately I lost some pieces along the way but I still got her in Checkmate.

What week is it???

Hi guys, guess what week it is this week........GIFTED AWARENESS WEEK! Gifted awareness week is a week to be aware of gifted individuals I guess. We watched a clip about different peoples perspectives on being gifted. One person was saying that you had to be born with a sort of "gift" to be gifted. Another person said that you could try really hard and do lots of practice in an area you're passionate about, and you could become gifted. So you see, it is kind of like a debate. I think you have to be born with it but as you can see nobody knows - at the moment.  We also discussed how gifted people stick out.

See ya' later! :)
