Kate Middleton At Enrich!

"Welcome, welcome, to the lovely gifted school of Enrich. We are so happy that you have come here".
"My greatest pleasure."

We welcomed Ella the year 13 from James Hargest College down the red carpet. We bowed and cheered her on as she just had birth to the new prince, George. 
Your probably thinking, she's not Kate Middleton she's Ella you said. I know I did, but she really did look like Kate Middleton. Just jokes, she looked nothing like her (not in a bad way!).

"Hello everyone, my name is Ella and I'm here to teach you a few dance moves for your ................ (secret surprise) that you are doing." she said in the most royal way possible.
We all sat there in the most dull way, that I almost felt sorry for Ella, teaching kids that aren't even interested. How horrible.

Up, in, click. Up, in, click. We started to learn our dance moves for the secret surprise. It felt like we learnt heaps but we only just started. I can't wait to learn ALL of the dance moves, it will be out of this world like a rocket launching up into space! I am so so so desperate to tell you what we are doing but the nasty witch is keeping our mouths locked up in the dungeon and we can't get them out. It totally stinks, actually it doesn't stink because our beautiful girly mouths don't stink, they smell more like exquisite perfume. If I have to use another word than stink, I'll have to use, well, it sucks. I should stop moaning, because I guess you get sick of me moaning each week so I promise (try to) next week that I won't moan, even if I really want to get it out, I won't.

I can't wait to get my body moving again next week because I love to dance,

Clara!

The Coughing Man

The man wouldn't keep quiet! 
We were 'trying' to watch the musical of Little Women but this man kept on coughing. No, not anyone at Enrich, the person who was videoing the musical on Youtube. Ella Rose was looking around to see who was interrupting us, but then realised it was the man recording Little Women on the computer. 
I'm not here to give a big lecture so let's actually get on with performance and not someone coffing!

At performance.....WAIT that is way too boring to start this marvellous adventure! Let's start that sentence  again.

Take 2-

All my life. I've lived for loving you; let me go now..... 

That was the last heartbreaking line of the musical Little Women. Little Women is about four sisters, and one of them called Beth is dying. One of her sisters (Jo) is very close with her and they love each other very much and don't want to be apart from each other. But Beth knows she has to go. This musical is very depressing and sad - so sad that Violet actually started crying, that's how sad it was. 
Our group (Friday) is doing the solo group one so since it is a 'solo' Nicola is going to choose one or two people to sing those lines. She's going to choose people who sing it beautifully like the two sisters who sing it. 
I hope my mum will let me get the book because I am really interested in it and I want to learn more about it, anyway,
See ya later!

Helpless Babies at Enrich

Sigh. We're back at Enrich.

"Excuse me! What are you talking about? Enrich is a mind blowing, jaw-dropping place to come to. Even though we only come here for one day per week. You can never say that about Enrich!"

Now if you think this post will be all about me going on about how Enrich is such an awesome, breathtaking, stunning place to come to, well you are 100% wrong. Why would I go on about how awesome it is, (even though it REALLY is).... that would just be so boring? Why don't I talk about how awesome our day is going so far and how we did this very entertaining Technology Challenge? Whoops, I wasn't supposed to say that to you, it was meant to be a big surprise. What a shame. 

Anyway, why don't I tell you what the Technology Challenge was and how we were heroes. Yes heroes. But I can only tell you how we were heroes if you promise not to tell anyone. It is huge secret between you and me. 

This top secret challenge was about saving flour and sugar babies. Yep, that's about it. Carrying flour and sugar babies on a homemade stretcher. This seems like an easy challenge but when you find out that you have to make the stretcher out of newspaper, string and tape, your mouth drops. Like, literally drops. Only having twenty minutes to make this stretcher seems like a long time but it feels like you have walked ten steps. A team of four, twenty minutes, newspaper, string and tape=Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Go!

My group (Violet, Kady, Pearl and myself) started to get to work on discussing our ideas and choosing the best one. We chose Pearl's. 

Lots of newspaper, roll the sides up. 

String attached to the end of newspaper.

Tape, tape, no more tape.

The time is up. The battle against good and evil has begun.

Four flour and sugar babies sitting on our stretcher, helplessly waiting to be carried across the course. Violet and I are ready to carry the babies to the other side of the obstacle course. Katie is ready to start the timer. The babies are ready.

Go!

1 handle destroyed. 2 handles destroyed. 3 handles destroyed. One more to go, Violet drags the last handle across the floor until it falls off. 

Our stretcher was destroyed but the babies weren't! We won! Our babies are still alive. No we didn't win - we lost like most of the other teams. There was only one team that won and it wasn't us.  I have learnt that when in a group we should all work together to get the job done (properly) like Bob the Builder says. 

Thanks for reading,
