Narrative


Hooray it’s guyfawkes and im gonna invite some friends over this year.

On a nice dark Friday night the Knight Riders and bad boys took their fireworks to Auckland its was me, the Knight Riders, bad boys and the Pyrotechnics crew.

When they got to Auckland they went to the Auckland Domain for the family Friday where they went to the Auckland domain and they were letting off little fireworks for the opening.

then they were just waiting for the end so they can let off the big fireworks such as the ground shaker and the sky rockets and stuff.

They had a few fireworks left over so the fused them all together and lit them all off at once. It was like the the entire night sky lit up and it was day.

Dance fever


Today a group called Dance Fever came to glenbrae school to teach us all hip hop. They first tought us the leg manuvers such as steping to the left and bending our knee. after we bend our knee we pull the other leg towards eachother.

Then we pulled off alot of other steps that I can’t really put into text. But anyway it was really fun and next week I hope we learn even more next time.
