Hi,my name is Caitlin and I am 9. I go to meadowbank school where I am in year 5. There are four in my family my Mum,Dad,my Sister and me. I like climbing trees and that is part of the reason why I just adore monkeys. My dream is to be a monkey wizard in a mansion tree-house with a huge libary (because I love reading, my favourite series are the Harry Potter books because I love adventure and magic) in the Jungle. I want to make friends with the monkey and have fun with them.

My hobbies are singing, sports, in particular netball and am about to start soccer for the first time. I also really enjoy dance, hip hop and Jazz, I enjoy just dancing to the music. I participate in dance, swimming and art class after school. I have travelled in some places around the world, including Indonesia where I lived for 3 years and one day I would like to go to Europe and see the Mona Lisa in Paris.

On that we are playing around with story creater were you use backrounds to make a picture including people objects and speech.This is a myth that I summerised. =====

The Snow Maiden Summarised By Caitlin

Once long ago was a wood cutter and his wife that lived in Russia. It was winter and the floor outside was covered in snow. the old couple was sad and lonley. When some road was clear they made a snow daughter that they magiced to life. The Snow Maiden was named Snegurochka. Two months passed and it was time for the winter celibrations. Snegurochka went to town quite often and soon got dizzy with her love and being out in the sun. She was made out ice so she went for help but the god said 'No'. One day she went out with her boyfriend and melted in the sun, then she was gone. The old couple were very sad because Snegurochka had brought lots of joy to them and to every-one else around them. The end !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Masks + Myths

This term we have been learning about masks. We have darwen them and we have made them out of paper. In writing we have learning about myths so our class read a myth called Pandoras Box. This myth is about 2 bad boys that a powerful god named Zeus wanted to get revenge at. So he created a girl called Pandora and a box to the boys with a note saying not to open it. Eventully she opened it and out came Poverty, death, deisese, sadness, misery and last of all out came hope. I found a mask for each one of these items. Please see them on this document.

__Pandora's box__ I am a Narrator in the story. My mask represents a narrator. The golden curls and plaits are presious and important witch means i'm ment to be here. I have choosen to add the sequens around the eyes to make them glow. My mask has got a gold and red theme so I added a golden sqiggle with glitter and a jester type hat for an extention. Red objects are the springs on my fore-head and the swirled circle above that.

The narrators dance starts off with a sequence of poses and then we freeze. After we go back to back in the centre stagewe do big strides to show were important. My favourite and most enjoyable part is when I push Holly and she twirls then the narrators move into our final posistions then we go off.

Here is a photo of my mask

On October the 8th was the start of our school holidays, AWSOME. We had two weeks of fun. Out of all the fun the best things I did were see my cousins and go to the Rotorua Agrodom. The Agrodom was spectacular, but scary. There were five rides the bungy, the frightening swoop, shweeb, speedy jet boating and the fearfull extreme. My favourites were the fearfall extreme and jet boating. In the fearfall extreme you get blown up by a windmilland and fly, its so cool. Jet boating was fantastic you go at top speed round a track then do a full spin. I loved it sooooooo much and I would defintly recomend it. The only disapointment was I didn't get to go on the Rotorura lodge ooooooohhhhhh.
