Capital E

On Friday all the Year 3 and 4 children took two buses to Capital E to experience the National Children's Art Festival. First was Pulse a performance by a group called Strike! This involved some amazing drumming and some incredible tricks with fire. Great to watch but something we won't be trying at home!
Then we had the Petting Zoo where we got to see and pet some VERY realistic Dinosaur puppets. William even put his head inside Dolores the Dinosaur's mouth! Wow he is brave! I'm glad he is okay and will still be at school on Monday...
Last but not least we went to watch a very moving performance called "Kia Ora Khalid" set in the school playground. This musical is about the migration stories of the families of four children and what it means to be a kiwi in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
