Our Production

It all started on a cold wet Thursday night. We all ran to the library to get our faces painted  and started to talk to our friends. I was a native, so I had to put lots of make up . Later on we got into our lines, there were monkeys, rats, natives, sailors and lots of main actors.  We started to walk to the hall, I was really
nervous.So we arrived and all of my family was waving at me.So we went through all the songs and speaking parts and then it was my dance. It was good my native dress did not fall off because it did in the dress rehearsal and then it ended. I went to the libary and got my things and went home. S.P

The Awesome Production

On Thursday, the 23rd August Botany Downs performed an amazing production, The Pirates Of The Curry Bean,  Everyone on stage had an awesome time. I'm pretty sure the audience had a great time with all the laughter,action and adventure. Our production was filled with singing and dancing. The people with the main roles did a great job, with all the rehearsing and the learning of the lines.All the senior syndicate participated in our production and we pulled of a great show in front of our family and friends.

The Visitors

    Some people came to our school, they were Koreans.  We first greeted them with a Botany Downs primary classic.assembly.  First we sang the national anthem.     Then they said some words, then our principal said some words, then we did our school song after that.  We did some stuff a couple of minutes later.  The assembly ended.. The day after that we got our people,they were both girls.  All other classes had four people we only two it was a shame but on the other hand I myself  quite enjoyed them.

Pirates of the Curry Bean

Lights camera action! On the 23rd August the year 5 and 6 performed the Pirates of the Curry Bean. It was an awesome preformance! We did two shows. The first one was at 1:00 and the second one was at 7:00. At the first preformance there weren't many people but at the second preformance there were lots of people.

 There were lots of characters in the production. Like Jack, Liza, Pearl, Red Beard, Louie, Fiddlesticks and many more. I was Liza. I enjoyed being Liza, it was fun. In my opinion it was an awesome preformance. It was also very funny!

Our Trip At Kelly Tarltons



OCTOPUS



On Wednesday the 20th of June 2012 the senior syndicate of Botany Downs Primary went on a trip to Kelly Tarltons! We went on a long bus drive there and back .On the way there Georgia and I sat together. We looked at Mission Bay Beach and the beautiful veiw of  Rangitoto. We started talking about what we would do if we lived in Mission Bay and the volcaino erupted. Not long after that conversation was over we were there at the famous KELLY TARLTONS. We walked past the sting rays ,sharks and through all the other marine life and had to get seated in a special room where a lady talked to us .The funny thing she told us was once when a octopus lived in Kelly Tarltons when all the guests had gone it had saw tiny little whole in the top of it's tank so what it did was it climbed out of the tank wiggled across the gift shop floor and over to the cray fish tank. Did  I  tell you that crayfish is one of the octopus' favourite food ,so anyway he crawled into the crayfish tank and ate all the crayfish. When it had finished its unexpected meal it crawled all the way back to its own tank. They got it all on tape !
