Review:
          RAP-punzel

In the 12th of November, the actors of N.Z. playhouse Auckland came to our school, C.T.K. (Christ The King) Owairaka. The actors names are, Ben, Jack and Jane. They were here because they are presenting shows to every school in Auckland.

Ben came out from the curtain and was dressed up as Pinocchio, one of my favourite fairytale characters. He told us what to do when the signs appear. There was one that said applause, one that said laugh, and one that said oooh, . After we practiced doing  what the  signs had said, Simon Cow (like Simon Cowell) came out from behind the curtain too. He expected us to clap, but the applause sign did not come out, so he argued with Pinocchio about how an amazing  producer he was.

Then it came to the judging of the acts. First was, one was Jill’s act (from Jack and Jill), Simon Cow asked if she was going to fetch a pail of water and that's what she did, she pretended that she was gonna spill it on us. He thought this was too boring so he pressed his button and Jill walked away. Next was Sleeping Beauty. Her act was to sleep beautifully. She, at first was yawning, then, she snored. Simon pushed his button but she was still sleeping. He had to kiss her on the cheek so she could wake up. Finally came Rapunzel, her act was was to sing. She sung a song called yellow (the lyrics were changed) but Simon just thought it was going to be just as bad as the other’s acts so he read his newspaper. She started singing and Simon was drawn to her voice. He said that she won the land far, far, away’s got talent winner, but she had to sign a contract to get the prize. The contract said that Simon Cow will have total control of the winner and would have to do what he wants. Rapunzel didn't sign it and still lived a poor life. The really funny parts was when prince rupee’s pants were falling down and when he was hiding behind his horse.

In my own opinion, Duffy theater is similar. This theater is good for all ages because they have slapstick humor for people who don’t get the joke and sophisticated humor for people who do get it. They had a good amount of props and also had fun playing with words. Expect their performances to always be hilarious.

Mary Mackillop centre
I hear voices chattering and laughing about Ben playing on a trampoline. I am in the yard of the Mary Mackillop centre with the school for our trip. It seems as if it is midday. I see an interesting water ball.


A bunch of people gather around the sphere. I feel water dripping on my shoes. The water makes a splashing sound when it reaches the small pool underneath it. I spot one person out of the corner of my eye touching the water sphere. I smell the food some of the people behind me are eating.

I wonder why they have this in there garden. Maybe the sphere represents Jesus and the water represents the water of his baptism.

Out in the wild sea, there is a boat, and in the boat is the hero, Hiccup, his pet dragon, Toothless, Hiccup’s friend, Fishlegs and the others.


Hiccup has found a coffin,Everyone on the shore reads the words  “DO NOT OPEN” on it and underneath it, it says who’s the coffin is, it’s Hiccup’s Great Great Grandfather’s! he was the toughest and meanest viking of all, he went missing with his treasure for 100 years or so. Will they open the coffin to steal his riches, or leave it as it is? And will Snotlout, Hiccup’s cousin, seal the treasure for himself.
  
This is a very exciting book. It is one of my favourite books and I hope the author will make more books about it. I rate it 8 years and over just because it’s a really interesting book but it has some words that might be too complicated for younger ages.

Book Review:the welkin weasles

Book review: The Welkin Weasels
A book by Garry kilworth

The Welkin Weasels is a fantasy book. It is sort of like the Hobbit except the characters are mostly woodland creatures. The character I know so far is Sylver, the main character,Prince Poynt, Falshed the sheriff, and a stoat/ weasel army. The story takes place in  an island that has been ruled by stoats, weasels (maybe ferrets), moving statues and other things since the humans left.

Sylver’s band of weasels are trying to find the humans because the wall keeping the sea away from the island was about to break. The wall is important to the creatures because if it weren't there, the island would be flooded. Then you would ask, “Why do they need the humans?”. The humans are the only ones who can fix the wall but Prince Poynt doesn't want the humans to come back because he will lose all his power and he will never taste the wonderful taste of cooked food again. They learned how to cook when the humans left.

My favourite part of the story is when the weasels caught Falshed, tied him to a pole, stuck it on a raft, and made him sail away. I would rate it nine years and over because it’s an incredible book with magic but not so much comedy. It’s a very good and I think everyone should read it.I would like to hear your say of the book.
