Ewww! The smoke smells disgusting!

On the last Friday of Term 2, the whole school went to the Aotea Centre. We went there by bus. People were really annoyed because they kept on talking. After a while on the bus, we arrived and inside the centre it was enormous. It felt as if we were going to meet a royal family. Then we all had to put our bags away in a little corner.

          The teachers lead us to a room in the Auckland Town hall where we were going to watch a performance from the dance company. We had to wait for St. Therese to arrive so that we could watch the performance at the same time. After a while, the dance company started to dance. When they rolled up as small as a rat, I was frightened because it felt like they were going to turn into monsters when they started moving in slow motion. Their dance was amazing because they did their moves gracefully.
          After they performed, the people did another performance but this time we had to focus on what kind of koru shape they formed during their dance. It was really difficult to see the shape of the koru because they were all moving very quickly.
          Then after they were done, we exited out of the room. We took our bags and headed to the Aotea Centre. St. Therese went before us and when we arrived at the centre, we had to put our bags down together again in a spot. St. Therese went to do a different activity and we were making stories. A man told us that in a story, there is a beginning, middle and ending. Meanwhile, we thought of the story and it was about Goldilocks and the three bears. That was a lot of fun!
          After that, we watched a different performance. It was funny because when the girl tried to get in the lime light, it kept on moving as if the light was running away. I didn't really understand the story because they spoke in Te Reo Maori. When the girl turned backwards, smoke came out from a machine and it was meant to be like passing gas. Some people were complaining about the smell of it. However, the people that were sitting on the top seats and I didn't get to smell it.
          After the show, we went back to our school. I was happy because we got an opportunity to go on a trip with another school and see professional performances.

We are learning to use and understand descriptive language.
I know I can do this when I use appropriate adjectives, similes and verbs to describe events.
