What an exciting night !!!

This is me in the extravaganza

On Wednesday 21 of September  at 6 o,clock in the evening my whole school went to our extravaganza .  Every class had a part in the extravaganza.   My class was doing cartoon heroes.   I was one of the lego ninjargo.  When we got back stage we had to be super quiet because one of the seniors was reading her speech to the audience.   Well we were getting everything ready.   When the lights shone on me I froze and felt like I was melting in the heat.   I felt adrenalin going through me.  As soon as I saw the audience I felt like running off stage but once I did my part in the showing off our dance moves I found it was quite fun.

EXTRAVAGANZA, 2011 by Emma

What an exciting night!

I arrived at the high school when Ella and I got changed in the toilets into our costumes.
It took a long time until we did our performance, so I played connect 4 and watched E.T the movie.
Soon enough my class and I were in the hall lining up ready to be out in the stage.
I had goose bumps for a long time!

Soon I was behind the curtain then the music went on and I came out.
It was very bright and  I couldn't see because of all the cameras.  There were lots of people
dressed as Sponge Bob but I was dressed as Elastic Woman.  In the first part of the dance
I was nervous but at the end I wanted to do it again because it was so much fun!

It was so good I thought we were CARTOON HEROES!

After the Cartoon Heroes performance
we did a Can you move it like this  one!

Spongebob and I

                                    

On the 21th of September we did the Extavaganza.  My costume was Patrick Star.   We had  to be very silent.    After an hour we had to go.   It was nerve racking we walked up a long hall way.   Adrenalin was rushing though me.   We got on stage.   The curtains  unrolled.   The lights were flashing.   The music started. We walked out behind the big screen.   I did the Patrick Star pose.   I was sweating like mad as  it was boiling inside my costume. Then it finished.  I was so happy to get out of the costume costume then it was back to the class room.  I cooled down for a while then I had to go.

This is me dancing on stage in the purple .`

On Wednesday night on 21st  of September we had our cartoon heroes extravaganza.  Just before we we went onto the stage we were lined up in the hall .   My stomach was churning.  When we went onto the stage steps we could not see a thing.  We got behind the painted book cover trying not to knock  them over.  The music started blaring.  When I got on stage all I could see was the flashing lights.  I scanned the crowd, looking for my family.  I saw Izzy putting her fingers to her cheeks, telling me to smile.  I was dressed up as the evil queen.  I was sad when it was over.

It was Wednesday September the 21st, the night of the extravaganza. I was dressed in a chipmunk costume because our classroom was doing cartoon heroes for our theme. The changing rooms were very hot.   Well probably because I was covered in fur. We had to be very quiet in the changing rooms. Then it was time to go on stage.  There was lots of adrenalin running through my body.  When we went on stage Flora and I weren't at all nervous. I did some shuffling and so did Flora.   We did jump jam too.

Here is me on stage doing a pose.

On September the 21st there was an extravaganza at the Motueka High School.   I was My Melody.  No one knew who I was because My Melody is  a Japanese character.   I was really excited when we were on stage.  It was nervous and exciting at the same time.   I was trying to make my moves strong not weak or  floppy.   I  could see my mum taking a video of me.  It was really fun on stage.

On Wednesday the 21st of September we had a school extravaganza at the High school hall.  I had an awesome night  but I was really nervous  and  before we went on we had to wait for Room 4 to come off the stage.  Now it was our turn and I was master chief and suddenly the curtains opened  and it went so fast it felt like 10 seconds .

I was dressed as Tinkerbell.    I was not that nervous.   I had performed loads of times. We were on soon.   Hooray! I stood out  really well .  I was grass green from top to bottom.   My costume was very cool. We did our act.   Emma and Greysea and I were on in a sec.   We won the talent quest so we had to perform our bit yet again.  We were all in green tights and black leotards.  We were very good at gymnastics.  We were bending to the song Dynamite. I felt like blowing up with dynamite right that minute.

READING by GREYSEA AND ROSANNA.

Reading is very interesting.  You can learn a lot from reading.  I think if you start off reading easy books then read harder read big you will get smart.  If you read you have something to do.  You  can always read books if you are bored any  time. Books can bring out emotions and feelings .  You can see books everywhere, in shops, in Town.  I love to read books. Books can give you a source of information.  We can read books from the library to get books out to learn all the new big words,  the spellings and meanings. We can read big dictionaries to get lots of information  and spelling.  I  love books. We can  learn lots from books. Books are AWESOME!
