J-Rock

J-Rock

J-Rock is an opportunity for senior school kids ( 9+ ) to get up and moving, dancing, acting, and start grooving. It is a fun memorable experience.

David St School took part in J-Rock and our theme was 100 years from WW1. We chose it so everyone who watched it and did it, knows how important it is to remember the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect us and give us freedom.

First we started with auditions and you could audition for, Poppies, Families, Hip Hop Soldiers, Postman, Normal Soldiers,
Ragtime and Nurses.

We rehearsed for about a Term.

The time flew by and finally it was the day we were going. We hopped in the cars with the parents who offered to take transport and off we went.

Once we got there we were shown around inside and were taken to the place where we had to put our bags. We went to a stadium and got to dance to songs and it was really fun. Then we went to watch some of the college rehearsals. After that we had a few things to eat, then went outside and had free time.

It was a few hours later that we went and got ready for the show. We got in costumes, had our hair and make up done. Finally we were ready to go. All of the audience was already waiting and the announcer was keeping them busy while we were getting in our positions.

Then the curtains opened. The whole thing started.

All too soon it was all over. I was so proud of myself. The teacher took us back and we went to the change rooms. After we were all changed we went with parents and we all went home.

That was the end of the amazing day.

Tillman The Surfing Bulldog.

While reading the news I found this article about a bulldog named Tillman who loves to surf. He has been too many surfing competitions. In mexico one time he caught the biggest wave ever! I found it interesting because dogs don’t usually surf. It is similar to when my dog comes swimming at the beach with my family. I found out that he likes to go skateboarding and so that must be why he likes surfing. I think that because they are similar and skateboarding is like surfing but with no waves. I think it is cool because he looks like he is really enjoying himself. He started surfing in the summer when he was hot and he was obsessed with it and ever since then he hasn’t stopped.  Click here to see the full article. Surfing Tillman!
