Thank you to all teachers and Students of Cheltenham school for making it a day we would all remember. ||
 * Last Friday Apiti School was invited to Cheltenham school to have a fun, sporty day and celebrate the Glasgow Commonwealth games. Teachers and students of Cheltenham school recognized this as a great opportunity for all students to come together in a way everyone will have a great time in witch we would all have lots of fun. Some examples of these activity's are, Sprints, Shot put, Discuss, Gymnastics, Archery, and of course lots of FOOD and EXCITEMENT. I believe this was a great idea as students could get outside and stay fit and healthy.

After a few more families arrive we jump off so we can start to get ready for the opening performance - Stomp. Now that everyone has arrived, Nikita and Fiona put everyone’s makeup on. As Stomp Kitchen was the opening act, I had to get all the boys in their places on stage after Zahn had said the opening welcome. While Jackson and I sneak over to the other side of the stage to hide in our spots, the other boys walk on and take their places behind the bench. Now it is time for the big opening act, as Mrs Fielder clicks play on the music. I jump out of my place and go join the boys in a loud pan bashing, pot smashing, knife slashing fiesta. 1'2'1'2 goes the first selection of beats. 1&2&3&4 goes the second. Half way through and we are ready for Jackson to come on stage and scream, "ORDER IN!!!!" Perfect timing as Jackson comes along with his notepad and his Pencil. Now for the taste test. As the boys walk around the table, Dylan handed me a pot and a spoon for me to taste his food. I agree with him and the other boys and I potwalk around the ends of the table to pick up the rest of the pots and pans. Finally the act had finished and it was time for David to say his sheep documentary in front of the data projector with his microphone and a slideshow for effect. While David was saying it, in the background, Juniors were getting in their costumes for their play - "Cinderella". As their play was going to take a long while, it meant that I had time to get in my costume for the Senior play of - "Badjelly the Witch" Because I was playing the part of "Rose" I had to wear a red and white dress, black and white stockings, a blonde wig and the worst thing of all, MAKE UP!! In the meantime, while I was getting my make up put on by Nikita, Hannah was in the middle of singing her original song she wrote. Then Franklin said a poem, and Savannah said her poem, and finally, after waiting a long while, it was time for the Seniors to take place on stage and act the story of "Badjelly the Witch" by Spike Milligan. The fairy tale tells the story of Rose and her Brother Tim(Zahn) who lose their cow Lucy into the great Black Forest and choose to go and find her or they might not have milk on their porridge again. As Zahn and I take place on stage playing string games together, the lights come on, and we are ready to get started on our adventure. As we run out to look for Lucy in the shed, the door was open, and Lucy was gone!! So we ran to the field where Lucy used to eat grass and shouted, "Lucy where are you?" but there was still no sign of Lucy our cow. When Zahn saw Lucy's hoof marks in the mud, he showed me, and, with nerves bursting out of every part of my body, I broke out and said, "Let's follow them, and see where she's gone." || ||  media type="custom" key="25281116" width="240" height="240" = = = = =__2013__= I am learning music, movement and dance media type="file" key="Huntah Drums 2013.flv" width="360" height="270"media type="file" key="Jaycee Zahn Huntah Dance 2013.flv" width="360" height="270"
 * As Tyler and I arrive first, along with Hannah, we find we still have heaps of time. So we jump on the XBox to fill in some time.

=​​=  __ 2010 My Learning in the Arts __   This year we performed:   ** ‘A Cultural Slice of New Zealand over Time’. **  I felt the Production was successful because we got into it quickly with no stopping and we knew it well. My Roles in the Production were a taniwha and a villager.

The best part of the Production was 'Rata and the Totara tree' because the actions were perfect and we all knew what to do. This meant that our show looked more packed with interesting actions. For our concert next year I would like to do a play like 'Shrek Forever After'

**Model-Taniwha**

Buckman, the taniwha, thumps onto the stage. He is scary, hungry and fierce with his red, sharp fangs. These fangs let him attack giant whales. As he smashes caves under the water, he is nearly shot. But he is built for strength. The orange and red on his body represent this strength. He is the strongest taniwha in the world because all of the other taniwhas have green and blue. I was inspired to create this taniwha as his big sharp teeth are good for ripping and killing prey. ||
