Strike!!

I hear the sound of the drums piercing my ears.

I feel the vibrations that the drums were making

I see the fire glow like glow worms in front of me

I see all the kids staring at the drummers

I feel the heat of the flames on my face

I hear the wonder women lightly tapping the cymbal with her drumstick

On Friday the 17th the whole school went to the hall and watched the strike performance.

It was loud, exciting and just amazing.

They did fire tricks, lots of drumming and they also asked people from the audience to do some drumming but I wasn't one of them.

It was amazing to watch and hear and I hope that they come back next year.

All I could see around me was people staring at the drummers.

Savannah’s feedback I liked the recount you did but next time maybe ad some more description otherwise it was great!

Time Capsule !!!

For our week 5 inquiry, we had to make a time capsule to represent a few things that we thought were important to us. But the things we choose couldn't be too big because we had to pretend that we would put it in a time capsule and send it into space.
