Revised Recount

LI: to revise recount writing
This week for writing I edited my first recount about PBS 60th anniversary celebration. We had got given 40 minuets to complete our Recount. On my first Recount I only had two paragraphs but luckily I got some feedback from Mr Ogelvie witch helped me think about what I needed to do fix when it comes for our test.
I think that my edited writing was ten times better than my non edited work.

Production Recount


It was Term 3 and Pbs was getting ready for a big show. The show was based on dances. Each class got taught a dance from our dance teacher,Zoe. Most of the songs we danced to was hip hop. Especially my class. Our performance was typically a dance battle. The Songs were like a remix of what we had to dance to. It was very easy for our class because we have been giving some of our work time just to learn our dances. It was a really rough time trying to dance while getting our work done in time. It was very hard although maybe half of the class got their work done before friday.


Three people in our class including me equals four had pacifica straight after we finished our dance! Luckily our teachers found a way to do our dance and get ready in time for our Pacifica dance. For our Pacifica dance the girls wore a ilander dress,the boys wore a samoan lava lava.
Our rhythm of beat was from a drum. After the pacifica group was done we thanked everyone who came and took a bow to all the parents who came to watch us all  dance. Everyone in our school who participated in  to the dance lessons. It was very fun watching other classes perform and

Also the Pacifica and Kapa haka. ( Non edited recount )


Pbs Celebration of 60th Anniversary

Last week was the 2017 Pbs students and Staff Members 60th anniversary!  A letter was sent out to all students. Before the letters were sent out Staff Members had a brilliant idea for Pbs students 60th anniversary celebration. It was loud and clear that a Dance production was picked. I think it was a great idea because it showed of how bliss our dances where.  

Before Lunchtime LS1 split into five dance groups. Three groups stayed back as two groups went to the hall. As we arrived in the hall
We met our first ever dance teacher. Her name was Zoey.  She taught the first group Gangnam style while the other group Single ladies watched. Most of Gangnam style moves were identical to the dancers in the dances of the official song. After their Dance lesson it was time for the Single ladies group. Most of our dance actions were made by zoey. Then one part of the dance was from beyonce!

When Single ladies and Gangnam style was done they got told their next practise was  2 weeks time and the Three groups that stayed back had One week till their first dance lesson.The three groups name was Dougie,Whip nae nae and Harlem shake. The first group to practise was Whip nae nae. Their dance was fun moves from zoey and the dance itself. Harlem shake was the same for the actual dance. Last of all was Dougie. Dougie had great moves all from Zoey.

Since all five groups practise 2 weeks after their first practise,Mr Wong recorded all group lessons so we can practise more than Once a week. Now that our dances were recorded , we then gave up work time to practise our dances Separately.  It was very hard for us to practise in our learning time although most people completed all nine tasks.

Days after our practise,Our dance teacher put our groups dances together. We started to practise together as the teachers recorded.
As soon as everyone knew their dances we had to do some run throughs so teachers will know how it goes on the two nights of performance.

After our first day of school run throughs Mrs Burke gave 4 groups their clothes they will wear on the night. Harlem Shake was picked to dance in uniform. Most groups got picked randomly for what they have to wear. Douggie and Whip nae nae was chosen to provide their own clothes. Their clothes had to be Street clothes because of their dance and song they are dancing to.   

Everyone knew what to wear. So then Pbs had a run through with their dance clothes on. I think that Pbs danced ten times better then when we had to wear uniform.

It then was time for the first night of the production night. Everyone was nervous and excited. The first dances on was the junior classes.
Then it went on to the seniors. After the second to last dance it was time for Ls1 to show off their moves. Also after Ls1 had their dance it was time for Pacifica group. Three or four people were in Pacifica so they had to rush!

It was then the end of our first Production night. I had fun dancing because I knew all the dance moves and all my friends were involved. ( edited Recount! )
