What could the great Alfonso pull from his hat?

Birds, rabbits, carpet snakes, and on

ce a Siamese cat.

What did he do to the lady?

He cut her in half and left her on the floor in pieces.

What did Alfonso forget to say?

He forgot to say abracadabra.

What do you think is the main idea of the poem?

The main idea of the poem is what the magician did to the lady and what he pulls out of the hat.

What is the new trick the magician is training to do?

He is training the goat how to float.

Does Alfonso use complicated tricks or words in his show any more?

No he doesn't. He sticking with pulling rabbits and birds out of his hat.

         

Do you think the information in this poem would be useful if you wished to become a

magician?

Yes, because if you wish to cut a lady in half but then do it incorrectly then that would be a mistake.

What question would you ask Bertie?

I would ask him, “How did you forget to say abracadabra when you say it how many times when you do other magic tricks?”.

Can you think of a possible problem with teaching a goat to float?

The goat might accidently float to another dimension out of nowhere.

Can you think of a solution to Bertie’s problems?

Just incase of a problem, he might have to practice a lot.

Do you believe magician’s require much skill, practice and training?

Yes, because if he never practiced anything and he was performing it, he might’ve killed someone.

ICT Technology!!!

Today at ICT we were taught how to use the photo shop. We used the photo shop and edited our photo we took on photo booth. The tools we used on photo shop was a pencil, and the paint bucket. We used the pencil to draw outside our photo, coloured it in using the paint bucket, and we also layered it. We had a lot of fun during the lesson. Danielle and I didn't finish, but we are allowed to finish it next week. We did a little funny things with our photo while editing. The hard bit was the out lining. Danielle didn't do that much of out lining because is was too hard for her. But it was still fun because the things we learnt here was the things we have never leant before. That was the most fun bit.

Our First Best Softball Lesson!

Hooray! Today was our very first softball lesson this year with some coaches from Auckland Sport. We started off with a well warming game of red light, green light. Whenever she called out “Green light” we ru

n as fast as we can, when she called out “Red light” we stop as quickly as we can to not lose, and whenever she called out “Orange light” we walk. That was how we played the game and that was our warm up. Everyone was huffing and puffing because of all that running we did. We were as tired as sleeping koalas.

After that quiet game of red light, green light, we were taught some skills. The skills we learnt was the skills we already knew, but she taught just incase we do it wrong when we’re in a game. We got into pairs and we practiced our throwing and the way of how to throw. She told the correct of standing when you’re throwing. My buddy was too afraid to do that, she just stood there throwing and catching the ball. We practiced our throwing and catching for a while.

Our instructor told us to pass the ball back and forth to each and see how many passes we did, and we weren't allowed to drop the ball. MY buddy and I kept on dropping the on our first throw we didn’t even make past five, but when kept on going and going we made past 100. We were relieved.

After that we heard the next classes footsteps stomping down the court, and we felt sad because our time was over. So we said our thank you’s, and off we went to our classroom. That softball lesson was the best first softball lesson this year.

My Best Holiday Recount!

Yahoo! On Saturday it was our umu day. Sometimes every Saturday we have a umu. It was only my dad and I that went because all my other siblings were naughty and my mum was sick. I was staying with my cousin and her brother’s girlfriend. We had a great time together. We played some games, we talked, we watched a movie, and we even walked to the shops at night. We laughed a lot during movie time.

During movie time, we watched a very funny movie, but it was also kinda nice.The movie was about a father that had to move to Japan and work there. He didn’t want to go because he didn’t want miss his son’s birthday party, so he came back for his kids and his wife on the exact same day he went to Japan. “Hahahaha” I laughed out loud, that movie was funny. I laughed as loud as my dad being stupid.

While we were doing that, my uncles and my dad were at the back singing Samoan songs, laughing, and talking very loud. “Lalalalalalalala” my uncle’s sang a loud. My auntie’s were at the dinner table minding their own business and laughing. I thought that night there was laughing than talking, listening to music, singing, and all sorts.

It was actually a bit boring that night, except for the movie bit. We did a lot of fun stuff and that was the fun bit. When I heard my dad calling my name saying “Hannah, Hannah, Hannah!. It’s time to go home!!!”, I felt sad because I wanted to do a more fun stuff, but then “Nooo”. At least we got a to do a bit of fun that night. It was the best night ever.

The GREAT Reading!!!

Today I was reading a book called 'Statues Of The World' written by Yvonne Ison. The book is about how the statues come in shapes, and sizes and what they're about. I am so proud of myself for reading high levelled books.

My Perfect Non Fiction Reading!!!

Today I was reading a book called 'The Return of the Flowers' written by Discovering Australia Dreamtime and Beyond. The story is about when Earth was created beautiful flowers covered plains and blossomed in the trees. I am so proud of myself for reading harder books like non fiction books and I am going to read very hard books next time.

Our Amazing Last Football Lesson!!!

Hooray! Today was our last football lesson with our instructor, Ben. We were so happy that we had another football lesson today!. At the start it was raining and everyone thought we had football in the hall so we dragged our legs down to the hall and then we saw Ben in the court so we dragged out legs the opposite way from the hall. At the court everyone was pumped up ready to go. We started off with a warm up of octopus like always. We had two enjoying games of it. Everyone was running as fast as the wind. After those two games we were out into six teams. We never learnt any skills we just had a little tournament like before. “Get yourselves on the yellow line!” shouts Ben. As he started counting “1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6” everyone was excited. The tournament started and we used the whole court. This team verses this team and this team verses that team and so on.

The whistle blew and everyone started kicking, running. We could even hear people say “MARK THE GOAL, MARK THE GOAL!!!”, they were as loud as headless monkeys. Our team won a couple of games, but the third game we played, we didn’t win because there were some really good players in that team, even our teacher was in that team and he won a goal. The last game was a game of revenge. I tried marking our goal and tried getting a goal. Everyone was screaming, yelling, and shouting. Then the whistle blew and the tournament was over.

At the end everyone was all puffing because of all that writing. One of our friends said thank you to our instructor Ben for teaching us some gangster skills. Then we left with in a good manner. Everyone was pumped and ready to do a lot of work because of the mini tournament.
