MAGNETS

• Some things will stick to magnets, especially iron.
• Magnets can be used to push or pull objects together
• Magnetism is a force
• If we took all of the iron out of our body there would be about a nailsworth. The iron that would come out of our body could be magnetized. 
• Magnets are used many ways in our everyday lives.

Olympic Writing

Yesterday we had to write a piece of writing for our teacher (Mrs Baker-Sherman) about us competing at the olympics. What we could compete in was up to us. It didn't have to be an olympic sport it could be anything- (eg. skateboarding, rollerskating...) I choose to write about competing in a dance competition.

WALT-  Create a piece of personal writing using complex sentences, adjectives and similes.

I have spent more time at my studio than my house over the past years. There in week days dancing and teaching, there in the weekends teaching and doing jobs. There every second I could possibly be. I was there if sun or shine. I was there late nights and early mornings practising. Stretching when I woke up and before I went to bed. I was a starstruck lover, in love with dance and my studio.

It’s a magical thing to watch! It’s the language from soul, it’s dreaming with your feet, it’s my life.

I stood in the wings. Seeing the other competitors leave their hearts and souls on the stage.

It had all lead up to this. That moment when I step on the stage it all begins... For real. I was as nervous as a mouse getting chased by a cat. I remember what Corrine told me ‘Practice like you’ve never won, Perform like you’ve never lost.’ all I had to remember was ‘Dance with your heart not your mind, dancers aren’t great because of their technique they are great because of their passion!’ I took my position on stage. I know I have a beautiful dance and beautiful costume. Now I just have to actually do it!

There is no greater bliss than dancing and performing. And I’m doing both at the same time! I feel invincible, wonderful, amazing, excited, nervous! But most of all I feel happy. Dance has me some really hard times. It’s kept me going when I was sad, mad, doubtful of my worth. It is my passion and my life and now I am pursuing it. I dance like there is tomorrow and as the crowd cheers as loud as a siren and screams ,of amazement, like crying baby. A smile as big as Cheshire Cats’ creeps across my face.

I danced amazingly! Or so I am told. For those 3:00 minutes I danced, I completely escaped the pressure of the world! Now for the moment I have been waiting for my whole life. “The winner of your Olympic 2024 Dance Talent Competition is…” `

Lego People Art

In the first week of term we had Mrs. Lovatt as a reliever for whole week. One of the art tasks we were given was to create our own lego people. The class was given the basic outline of a lego person and then we let our imagination run wild. We had everything from pigs, unicorns, superheros, surfers, cheerleaders and gymnasts.
