J-rock 2013


ASB 2013 Stage Challenge and J Rock














On Tuesday the 25th of june 2013 we headed of to J-rock and performed for over 100,00 people. I took part in j-rock because iI thought it would be a Great experience and it was for our ngatea primary school J-rock theme was technology and how it was back in the days. Like Telephone's, Cars, Internet  Television and Music. I was in the Television scene It was about a sleepover and how bored we were until we had an idea to watch TV and dance to the Music. It was scary thinking about it but when we were doing it I loved it I hope I do stage challenge when I get into collage and have another great experience

Upstart Magazine

This term I wanted to publish my writing in the upstart magazine and and they are publishing it in the june/july issue so i am really looking forward to it. this is the piece of writing. 

My Best friend Aimee 
My best friend Aimee is a funny and creative friend she always knows  how to make you feel good. When
you ever need a hand she right there next to you. Even though I have lots of other friend she still is my
favourite.  She’s like another sister to me.  Whenever I want to do something crazy she’s always has an honest opinion . Whenever I say something funny she laughs really loudly she is super smart a she runs as fast as a cheetah.  The way I feel about her when she around is happy and cheerful.
       
 Aimee is  a superstar netball player like laura langman. She is great cook makes the best tomato soup and pear and mixed berry crumble.  She is a circle of sunshine and as bright as a rainbow. She likes to listening to lady gaga and groove to her dance moves,  her favourite colours are purple,green and blue.  She

Has silky golden hair her eyes shimmering in the light she always smiles at everyone she has great fashion sense.  Aimee is my best friend ever. She always smells like bright red roses swaying in the wind
she is a really cool friend. When my sister or brother she just says to stay a way from them before something bad happens. Aimee is not just a great supporter she always makes everybody smile.
