Anti-Bullying Show

Yesterday the whole school went into the hall to watch Elgrego's magic show.
When we were ready, Elgrego began his magic, by making birds appear. To start his magic, he opened the box and let us see that there was not a bird. Then he twisted and turned and pulled and then he opened the box and there was a bird. The whole school was amazed. The next trick that he showed us was a book. There was nothing in there, then he clicked his fingers and said, "It better work. It better work," and a bird appeared. The other tricks were amazing but my favourite trick was a cage with three birds in it and then he said, "It better work. It better work," then he put a blanket over it and a rabbit appeared.
Next, he performed a magic trick with a fizzy raspberry drink. He poured the fizzy drink into a plastic cup. He put the cup into an up- side down box then he turned the box to the left then the right then he turned it upside down. The whole school was so excited to see if the drink had spilled then he opened the box and not one single drip had spilt.The whole school was amazed and we clapped.

After the drink trick, we watched Elgrego talk with Seemore, the baby green dinosaur. Seemore was sad because at school people were picking on him. Elgego is a ventriloquist. A ventriloquist is someone who talked for puppets like Seemore. Elelgreo asked Seemore what the kids had been doing. Seemore said, "Well, they have been teasing me because I'm green. Also, when it was my birthday and I took my basketball to school, a big bully came and threw it onto the roof."
Finally, Elgrego performed the brick wall trick. First of all, he told us about what he was going to do. He was holding a curtain so he  couldn't walk around the brick wall, then he said, "It better work. It better work," and he walked through the brick wall. Everyone in the crowd was amazed and clapped. 
At the end of the show, I thought it was the  best show I've ever seen.

Panthers Win

On Saturday, my netball team and I went to the netball Hopu Hopu grounds.We walked outside and played on one of the new courts.The whistle blew. We started with the ball. Aarianne got the first goal.The other team started with the ball. When they got to the end and passed, I jumped up as high as I could and I got the interception and I passed the ball to Maru and we got the second goal. It took ages for the ball to come down to the Diamonds GS. When the ball got down, C was so tired that she passed the ball straight to me.We took the ball down to Aarianne and got our fourth goal. At the end of the game, the final score was 10/0 to PANTHERS. I felt really happy because we won!!!
