1OJ CHILDREN:  Please send me a comment telling me what you would like to do in our circus.  You might like to include what things you need, what you might wear and if you are planning to work with someone else.  I look forward to reading about your plans.  from Mrs. Johns

 Yesterday we did a play.  It was called A Home for Hermit Crab.  I was a lanternfish.  My favourite part was when we all had to sing and dance.  My Nanna, Poppy, my other Nanna, my Dad, my Mum and my brother came.  The play was good.  Ella’s brother was wearing Ella’s hat.  I was laughing.  At the end of the play my Mum took my costume home.  Lauren

 On Thursday we did a play and it was called A Home for Hermit Crab.  The best part was when we did the invitations and when the parents came.  My Mum, Dad, Pa, Nanna and Granny came to the show.  There were fifty or less and they reckoned it was good.   Brittany

On Thursday we did a play and it was called A Home for Hermit Crab.  My favorite part was when the music was on.  And my Mum and Dad were there.   Neve

 We did our concert yesterday and a lot of people came to watch us.  My favorite bit was doing the dancing and making the costume and having lunch with our parents.  I think there were fifty people watching us in our concert.  I reckon when the people came they were all excited.  I liked the concert.  It was fun.  My Nana and my auntie came and watched.   Baccara
