We Are Honored To Be Your Students, Dancing Sensei by Henry

If you are reading this Jess, we of Room 12 would like to thank you for going out of your way to teach us hip hop moves for 6 weeks. They have been an amazing time.

In the past few weeks, we have developed confidence, style and last of all, had fun! This has been fantastic for us because we were able to create our own dancing routines and we will continue with this. We all hope we will meet you again in the future.

With great honor,
Henry.

Duffy Award. Caught being good- By Leanah

On Monday the 11th of June I received a caught being good book. I received it at a school assembly, in front of the whole school. My teacher chose me because at reading time I had answered all her question that she had asked me with all the correct answers. I was allowed to chose the book that I wanted to read, so I chose Rocket And Groot!!!!

Hip Hop. It's been great. -By Katrina.

Hip hop has been great this term.

We first started off with a warm up followed by a game. When all that was finished we then had to get into our groups and practice our routines. After getting into our groups we all then separated apart. 

The group I was in had me, Izabella, Pupuke and Alexandra. When my group found out we were going to perform in front of the class we were shocked because it felt terrifying.

To me it felt standing in front of the whole class and dancing felt scary. While dancing I had butterflies in my stomach. I felt like I was the only one who wasn't being energetic but that was fine. 

After a long time of dancing I was very sweaty and tired.

Hip Hop-By Mary-Ruth

Last Tuesday, Room 12 were with Jess, our Hip Hop dance teacher. I was so excited we were doing hip hop because it is one of my favourite things to do.

We were doing some really difficult stretches but at least I was warm. After we were all warmed up, we had to learn some new moves to the song Lean and Dab by ILoveMemphis. At first it was really hard but when I kept on practising, it started to get easier.

Katrina's Duffy Award: The Baby-Sitters Club #10 Logan Likes Mary Anne by Katrina

 I was chosen to receive a Duffy book because I had read in the holidays. 

 I had remembered an old saying and it was "Never judge a book by its cover." 

After thinking about that I read the blurb on the back of the book and it said, "It used to be that Mary Anne (character) had to wear her hair in braids and ask her dad before she did anything, but not anymore. Mary Anne has been growing up ... and the Baby-sitters Club members aren't the only ones who've noticed.

Logan Bruno (character) like Mary Anne! He has a dreamy southern accent, he's awfully cute --- and he wants  to join the Baby-sitters Club.

The Baby-sitters aren't sure Logan will make a good club club member and Mary Anne thinks she's  too shy for Logan. Life in the Baby-sitters Club has never been this 
complicated------ or this fun!"

 It sounded very interesting so I chose it.

Please remember this old saying when you choose a book.

Kiwi Sport Hip Hop!😀 by Tupouseini

Today we went to our hip hop class in the Multi Purpose room. Jess, our coach, demonstrated some warm ups and we had to space out and copy her. After warming up she started the first set of her choreography. We danced to Up Town Funk by Bruno Mars. At first I was finding the dance difficult but after practicing it a few times I finally knew the dance.

My favourite part of hip hop was playing musical statue but there was a twist. Instead of walking we had to dance. I was trying not to move when the music stopped. Luckily we were allowed to blink and breathe. We were dancing to Finesse by Cardi B and Bruno Mars.

Sadly our session had to come to an end. We all had fun. We all left sweaty and tired. We couldn't wait for our next session.
