Production Dances

For the past few weeks the year 7 and 8's have been learning their dances for the production. The first dance that we learnt is to Robbin Hood and it is for the year 7's, the second dance is to No Money and it is for the yer 8's.
My favourite dance is the Robbin Hood one because I prefer the moves in it. I think that the Robbin Hood dance is my favourite dance that I have done in all of our school. I also really like the No Money dance so it's annoying that the year 's don't do it as well.
Next week we are learning our final dance, the finale.
I'm really excited for the school production!

Worlds Longest Pizza - Dogo news

In Italy the world record was broken in May by some Italian chefs who made the worlds longest pizza.
Last year in June, 80 Italian chefs come together and broke the record for the worlds longest pizza-a pizza that was around a mile long- but then in May this year they broke the record again.
250 chefs come together once again and made a pizza which was 1,853.88 metres long or 1.15 miles long. It took the chefs 11 hours to make the pizza this year but last year it took 18 hours since they had a lot less chefs.
For their ingredients they used 2000 kg of flour, 1600 kg of tomatoes, 2000 kg or cheese, 674 kg of pizza sauce, 99 kg of lettuce, 200 litres of olive oil and for the crust 674 kg of margarine, 8981 kg of flour and 249 kg of salt.
When the pizza was ready the adjudicator confirmed that the world record had been broken and the hungry people got their HUGE pieces of pizza, all of the leftovers were given to the food bank.

Riddle!

Can you figure this out?

I'm one word but I hold many more
I can be the size of a bee
Or I can be the size of a beanbag
I'm a mini teacher
Except I can only help you in one subject

What am I?



Sorry that this is quite easy, I'm not very good at making up riddles!

On Sunday I watched the women's beach volleyball. I've never really watched volleyball before so it was quite interesting. The teams who were playing when I was watching were Netherlands vs Venezuela and Netherlands won. So far, for volleyball, the results are...
1st - Brazil
2nd - Russia
3rd - Japan

They are only up to the preliminaries and the quarterfinals will be held on the 17th of August.

Book Groups

For book groups I'm in a group with Julia, Jennifer and Katherine and we are reading the book Running Out Of Time by Margaret Haddix. So far the book is really good and if I had to describe the book in 3 words I would say intense, mysterious and dramatic! 
I think that my group is good at staying on topic and everyone got to say there opinion. I think that it is a good idea to have book groups because it is good to hear what other people think of the book.
Running Out Of Time is a great book so far and I definitely recommend it (even thought I've only read the first 4 chapters!)
