Rapunzel Journey

                   Rapunzel Journey

Today Friday the 28th of August 2014 room 2 to room 7 have been to a Rapunzel show in the hall of Torbay School. Rapunzel show was a rap and singing show play, kind of. There was 3 characters in real life their names were, Ben, Jack, and Jane, these people acted as a whole lot of different people. This play started as the x factor that was really funny. The judge was called Simon cow, that was a cow. Simon Cow was really funny and rude, a lot of times when he wanted to say that he didn't like something he would say, don't mean to be rude but... and really he always said that. Simon cow got really bored of everyone because they all didn't have any talent, until Rapunzel came out and wanted to sing the song yellow. He started to read a paper while she was singing but instead of reading the paper he lifted his head out in a surprised look and decided Rapunzel's performance was the best of the night. He wanted her to sign a contract and keep singing songs, but songs she wouldn't like but she would have to sing it anyway, her father wanted her to sign it so she could win $100,00 but she didn't so one day he tricked her and used her voice. My favorite part was the start at the x factor.  

Maths challenge

Today Friday 15th of August 2014 we have been doing a math challenge our class was set into 6 groups of 3 or 4 and then we got to name our team my team was called the FoxyCats because Ella was in our group and she likes cats and i like foxes Mathew and Hendrix were in our team as-well.

This math challenge had 20 challenges that were quite hard first we did easy ones and then it got harder and harder, as it got harder we had sheets with mazes on them as we completed the mazes we had to answer some questions on the bottom and that was alright. But then it got serious with a very long and mixing up sheet with 32 questions i think, and me and Ella didn't really get it until it to the 18th question we started to get the hang of it, so there was these numbers and we had to try to add them together i think and then we had answer what they were called like perfect or a prime and some other names i don't remember, but then the most annoying part when we were done and brang it to Mrs Kilkolly and then she couldn't read it and we got some wrong so we had to start it all over again on another copy of that sheet OHHHH! that was annoying and we came 6th out of 6 groups but never mind the prize was a lolly and i didn't feel like the taste of a lolly but never mind at least we learned some new things thats what math challenges are for.

My wearable art journey

     My wearable art journey

Today Isabella and Kaitlyn have been working on our wearable art.
We created the base of our dress and stuck newspaper all over the dress.
Also we made a necklace out of string and a bell.
Our original plan did not work, we changed our costume and now it looks great.
We found out that our plan did not work.
We wondered if our dress would fit. I wondered how i could tie the dress on.
The most challenging was trying to stick everything to the dress. 
Now we need to start creating our hat gloves and shoes, and the back of the dress.
Tomorrow we will start working on the hat and gloves.
Isabella thinks that the most fun part was to wear the dress. Kaitlyn thinks the most fun part was making the skirt.

Tuesday 12th August 2014
This is my design so far. Today i need to work on bringing a coat hanger.

• 
  I need to work on the shoes.
• The gloves.
• The hat.
• The Te-shirt needs more detail.
• And last of all we might start on coloring the skirt.
• Fixing up the Te-shirt and maybe the skirt. 

Wednesday 13th August 2014

Yesterday Isabella and I started to change our dress again. We took the Te-shirt off and started it again, I brang some dark pink wallpaper and we stuck that onto another plastic bag but before we actually did that i cut out a flame picture in the middle of the wallpaper and then stuck a peace of golden holy plastic paper now it looks like fire on the Te-shirt. While Isabella worked on the fabric flowers i started working on the hat, the hat now has a plastic broken purple necklace stuck on to the sides and then i stuck a red feather to the side like fire. When Isabella finished the flowers she helped me out on stabbing a whole on the side so we could put a hair clip in through the whole so it could clip into our hair and not fall off. And thats mostly all we did for yesterday and now we will start something else today. 
Thursday 14th August 2014
Yesterday we completed the hat and Te-shirt. 
We had difficulty with sticking all the fans to the dress in time. 
We found out that making earrings wouldn't work in time.
Working in a group was quite fun because i got more help and ideas.
My outfit reflects the element fire because we have bits puffing out like fire and also we have a cut out picture of fire in the middle of the Te-shirt.
