Production dancing

Welcome back viewers of my blog! Today I will be talking about how our production dance practises ave been going in the past few weeks.

So far I think that the dancing has been really fun and the moves are not that hard to learn and the songs are pretty catchy too. 

The first dance we learned was called 'Robin Hood'. This song had a catchy tune and the dance moves are pretty cool.

The second song that we learnt was called 'No Money'. It is a nice up-beat song. The moves in this song are quite faster than the moves in 'Robin hood' and harder to dance in time with but I still find it more fun because of its moves, the speed and music. 

In the dance sessions some things that I think would help lead the dances to success is to listen carefully to the instructions that the teachers give us and to try my best to execute the moves as properly and with the best timing I can possibly do (AKA just try my best).

That's it for now peeps!

Josh R News

Hello!
Welcome back to Josh R News. Todays news update: A man who jumped of a plane from over 25 000 and lived.
I'll hand it over to Joshua.

Thanks Joshua.
Now to the topic. On July 30th 2016 a 43-year-old man by the name of  Luke Aikins became the first man ever to jump of a plane at an altitude of 25 000 feet off the ground without a parachute or wing-suit. The only thing stopping him from hitting the ground and certain death was a 100-by 100 foot net suspended by 4 200 foot tall cranes. On his perilous jounce down Luke would have to use his experience combined with riding the air currents to get him to his desired location. He also had the help of sensors that beeped every time he went off course.

What made his 'safe' landing possible was the net that was made with high density polyethylene cord which is 2 times stronger than steel yet can stretch to max proportions. It was then given the nick-name, the Fly Trap. Upon landing Luke Aikins changes his positions to facing up at the sky instead of down. This allowed him to bend as much as he needed without a risk of  back injury.

This was definitely a dangerous stunt.

DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!


That's it for now. I'll hand it over to Joshua.

Thanks Joshua
That's it for now on Josh R News. See you next time with our next news update.

Olympic games

Hey guys!
Right now the Olympics are going on so on that topic today I'll be talking about an Olympic event I've watched this week.

The event I chose was men's under 56kg weight lifting. What i liked about this event so much is seeing how strong the men that competed were. What was amazing was that some of the weights that people lifted were up to 5 times the lifters weight.

I thing that a have a pretty good understanding about this even because I feel that it has fairly basic rules. All you have to do is stay in the marked area, lift the weight with fully extended arms for a few seconds then try to lift the heaviest weight in the end.

The top 2 weight lifters had really close scores while the one in 3rd place trailed about 20 kgs behind.
This is what the top podium scores looked like:
1st-long QingQuan- China
2nd-Om Yun Chol- PRK ( Peoples Republic of Korea)
3rd-Sinphet Kruaithong- Thailand

Thank for reading guys!
That's it for now!

Medieval stuff

Welcometh backeth readeth'rs. Lasteth week wast medieval week f'r mine own syndicate. ev'ryone in mine own class wast did split into groups of 4 and each of those folk hadst their owneth topics to maketh their activities bas'd off. Mine own group has't chosen medieval sicknesses as our topic.

Ehem, ehem! Sorry if you could not understand my amazing medieval talk back there. Anyway I've come here to talk about the activities on medieval week.

I think that our medieval lesson was actually pretty good apart from some facts we forgot to put in for our quiz. Our teamwork skill went well because we were always filling in for each other when we forgot what to say or our words got jumbled. Another thing that went well was when it was time to construct our power point most of my group pulled together and got the job done.

I also think that we could have worked better as a team when we first started. Our group basically had two different ideas and weren't sharing ideas any more but we eventually worked it out.

I enjoyed all of the other groups activities but the one that was my favourite was probably the merchant group. They taught us all about being a merchant and also set up a really fun trading game where you had to try to end up with the most money.

That's it for now guys. Thanks for reading and see you next time!

Kapa Haka

Kia ora readers! Welcome back to my  blog.


A few weeks ago our  syndicate has started to do Kapa Haka. This is where we do traditional Maori dances and so far I am finding it quite enjoyable. I feel as thought I'm participating well and I'm trying to do the moves as properly as I can. So far in Kapa Haka I have been finding  it quite easy to copy what the leaders are telling us to do so it it just a matter of memorising the moves a bit better myself. I think one way of improving my performance during Kapa Haka is to try hard do the moves in time with the music and listen carefully while the leaders are explaining what to do. Overall I think that Kapa Haka is fun and enjoyable and is definitely worth the time.

Hey
Thanks for reading folks! I hope you liked my review on Kapa Haka and see you next time! O.K maybe not 'see' but you get what I mean. HAHA! LOL! Now eye (see what eye did there!) can see you through these eyes!

NOW I'll see you next time. Bye!
