Ballet in a Box

Earlier this week Muritai School were lucky enough to have some dancers from the Royal New Zealand Ballet company come to visit. They put on a show for us in the hall.

Room 5 really enjoyed the show. Here are some recounts we wrote about it...

Ballet in a Box

Today Muritai School went to the hall to watch a ballet show. At the show there were ballet dancers. First of all the ballet dancers stretched with two bars. The bars looked like a pole. Next they did jumps and turns. They jumped as high as the sky. Last of all they played Cinderella. They played Cinderella so well. We clapped and clapped.

The Show

Today the whole school went to a show. The ballet people there were amazing! They're really flexible. It was a really long show. They were the best dancers. It was my favourite show. At the end, they played a show for us. The show was awesome! There were three boys and four girls. They jumped as high as a kangaroo. My favourite part was when they jumped really high. They're really good at dancing.

A Ballet

On Monday we went to a ballet show. We saw some people's legs in the air. We saw a play of Cinderella. There was a grasshopper which danced with Cinderella. They danced and danced for a long time. I liked it. They are very flexible. They were nice, everyone liked it. There were four girls and three boys. They were like gymnasts. The whole school clapped. The boys jumped so so so high. They were like kangaroos. The girls were not so so high at all. Why is that? Hmmm! Because boys have more energy than girls, that's why. So now you know why that is. Now do you have a picture in your head?

Beautiful Ballet Dancers

Today the whole school went to the hall to watch a ballet show. The girls walked on their tippy toes. The boys didn't. There were three boys and four girls. One of the dancers was called Emma and another was called Sarah. Emma and Sarah were teenagers. First the ballet dancers twisted and turned. Then the boys jumped really high. Then they did a ballet play of Cinderella. The ballet dancers were amazing. I hope they come back next year.

Ballet in a Box

Today the whole school went to the hall to see a ballet show. First they did stretches on the bar to warm up. There were four girls and three boys. They were amazing. Then they did extremely big jumps and turns. It was amazing. They looked like kangaroos. After they had done the amazing jumps and turns, they did the show of Cinderella. Cinderella looked beautiful I thought. When the ugly step sisters were trying to impress the Prince, they were amazing. I hope they come back next year.
