RAP punzel 29|8|14

Today the year 4-6's went into the hall to watch a playhouse company play called Rap Punzel. It was a parody of the Disney Rapunzel. At the start it was set in 'A LAND FAR FAR AWAY'S GOT TALENT with XFactor Idol' & Simon Cow, Rapunzel & Fresh Prince Rupee were the main characters. At the end of the show they did a parody of 'You can't touch this' by MC Hammer.

I really liked the show. I wish I could see it again.

What is a thrill seeker

A thrill seeker is someone who enjoys thrilling situations.

I have never done a thrill seeking stunt.

Thrill seeking stunts are dangerous because if they fail it could be fatal. They could be fatal because if you did one you could fall from a great hight or something could fall on you.

The Haunted House

On a cloudy morning deep within a leafy forest lived a troublemaking teenager named Steve ready to prank anyone who walks in his house with a pain.tball gun. Steves mammoth mock of hair was like a sheriff hat & his velvet red skinny jeans stuck to his legs so bodaciously awesome that rabbits fainted in the sight of them. Steve had a broad chest with lots of muscle. Steve’s house was a beautiful house including three prodigious floors complemented with green walls. The roof of the house was covered with plantation

Monday

9am

Today we are going to make a tuxedo representing fire with two foam boards coming up from the back.

2:30

But......... we changed it-see below.

Tuesday

This is my design so far.
Today I am trying:

• To make & finish a t-shirt out of bubble wrap & CD's
• Create some shoes out of egg cartons
• Start some trousers if we have time

Wednesday

Yesterday we completed a t-shirt & two egg carton shoes.

We had difficulty getting the t-shirt on me.

We found out that if you get the little hot glue gun on your finger it feels nice.

Working in a group is great because we get everything done really quick.

I don't think my outfit reflects my element yet but we will do more stuff today.

The Torbay Learning Model helps us know what to do.

The Final Result

Overall I feel that our costume is awesome becasue we worked really hard on it.

The biggest success was the trousers.

My most enjoyable part was watching the spray painting.

The hardest part was putting the t-shirt on.

If I was to do this again I would do it by myself because Matthew takes over.

I have learnt how to handle a hot glue gun properly.
