Jabbowockkes

My favorite dance group in the world is the Jabbawockeez. They are very amazing at dancing. They were the first ever in history to win America's Best Dance Group competition. I first saw them on T.V and they were talented. I wish I was in their group. After they won the competition, they toured around the world. They always wear masks so they can be even cooler. Now many dance groups have won the same competition.

At the Life Education Bus

Yesterday we lined up from biggest to smallest for the Life Education bus. Once we were on the bus we sat down and listened to Lynne to find out what we had to do. Afterwards we saw Harold who was talked us all about homework. He said we should help him with half of his homework because he was too lazy! The first task we did was to name three systems in our body. To help us we looked at a skeleton to see where the different body parts were.

We talked about the body system for awhile until it was time for a break. We did the banana split song. It was so funny we even made the caravan move up and down with all our laughing and jumping. Our next task was to find out what the Liver is and what it does. We talked with the Brain, which is a computer that helped us come up with more ideas. We looked at the body and figured out that the liver is the biggest organ of all. And it has over 500 jobs to do. One of them is to sort the food out. It also breaks down the bad things that are not good for you. After learning about the body our class got to perform the Humpdy Dumpdy haka that Lynne taught us. We said goodbye to Harold and Lynne. Harold was kind enough to give us books to leave with. We made our way back to class. My highlight was jumping up and down on the bus. I hope I get to go back to the Life Education Bus!

My Holiday Story


During my Holiday I went to the movies and watched Kung Fu Panda 2. I watched it at Sylvia Park. We brought some food with us to eat during the movie. Once the movie started it, it talked about the first part of Kung Fu Panda. The movie had an excellent battle scene at the beginning. It told us about the bad Peacock and his army of wolves and how they killed off all the panda in China, but luckily Kung Fu Panda was saved by his mother. At the end there was an awesome part about how Kung Fu Panda controls the fire rocks. I had fun watching the movie! I am looking forward to watching Kung Fu Panda 3.
