Caitlin N's Jazz Dancing Exam

Last weekend I did a jazz dancing exam and it was probably the hardest exam ever! The level was SLS and that stands for Stretch Leap and Spin.

We haven't got our results back yet but the grading is out of 5 stars. I really hope I get either a 4 or 5!

I practised every day in the holidays and I think I did really well.

I got a banner and this is what it looks like...

New World little shop swap

For casebrook challenge I am planning and organising a little shop swap day.

I got the idea from the swaps that I am doing during class, and with my family and I thought how cool would it be to organise a day were the school could swap their little shops. 

So I made posters, and with some help from  Mr Leith, got it into the school notices.

It is going to be on the 31st ( Thursday ) oct. I' m REALLY looking forward to the day and hoping we will do lots of swaps!!!!!!

The Rotary Speech Finals

On Wednesday night I went to Breens Intermediate in the rotary speech finals. We arrived at 8:00 just in time to hear the first speech.There were 5 categories, each one was a year level. The levels were from year 4 -8. There were five people in each category . The people in the category of the person that was speaking were sitting on the stage waiting for their turn and once all five of those people had spoken they went down and the next category came up.I  was sitting near the back of the hall watching the speeches. There were funny ones serious ones and some that were pure nonsense. There was a good one about awkward moments and another about L & P.We worked our way slowly through the year 4's,5's and 6's and then it was time for the year sevens. I walked up onto the stage with the other year sevens feeling so nervous I thought I would explode. I sat down on the seats at the back of the stage but as soon as I did I was called up again. I was first. I walked to the front of the stage and waited for the bell.Ting a ling .I started speaking as I felt my cheeks go red. But the nervousness stayed. When I got to my third cue card I felt it disappear. This was actually fun! Three minutes and thirty seconds later the bell rang again, indicating that I only had thirty more seconds.I talked my way through my last cue cards, finishing with  Maya Angelou's quote-" people won't remember you for what you did or what you have... But how you made them feel." I felt a rush of relief and accomplishment as I sat back down.The other speeches went by in a blur.Soon it was time for the judges to decide so we all had some chocolate milk or tea and a biscuit while we waited. Then it was time.They presented awards to the year 4's,5's and 6's. A disappointing speech about a blobfish won for the year sevens but I got second! This was better than first because I didn't have to do my speech again! I liked the speech finals and although it was nerve- racking I would definitely do it again!
