My Puffer Jacket

My Puffer Jacket

My puffer jacket supersizes when I let it free.

My Jacket is black with a silver zip.

If you look closely you can see thousands of intricate hexagons.

When I wear it, it's snugly and it protects me from the weather.

It was bought 2 years ago from Mountain Designs.

In the winter I wear it to netball. In the summer it hangs in my wardrobe.

When winter returns and I wear it again, I feel like an eskimo In my Igloo.

I love my Puffer Jacket!

Our Band Wet Cement

Yesterday at 9.30am on the first of November, Stoke School held a showcase for primary and intermediate bands called RockFest. Thirteen bands participated. In our band there was Hunter, Tom, Luke, Taylor, Lilly-Mae, Izzie, Harriet, Leah, Eylish, Safari, Sapphira, Josie and I. The three songs that we played were, "Rolling in the Deep by Adele", Bang, "Bang, Bang by Christina Perri" and "The New Divide by Linkin Park ".
Before we started I felt nervous and worried about making a mistake. When I got up there I felt a lot more relaxed and I could concentrate on my music. Once we started, we sounded great and we played together really well.
As part of the day, the top band in New Zealand The Peasents played for us in the 11am to 12am break. At the end of the day Music Planet donated thirteen fifty dollar Music Planet vouchers which each band received one of. Each of the bands were numbered from one to thirteen and went in the draw to win an electric guitar which was also donated by Music Planet. We were about to go home when they did the draw for the electric guitar and even better we won it.
So after a long day we all went home happy and proud.

Changing a Unicylcle Tyre

Unicycles are great and it's been a lot of fun falling off them, but then we get up and try again. We've used them so much that the old tyres were so worn out they popped. On Friday, we were learning about how to change a unicycle tyre with Mr Neal. Kids took turns at helping change the tyre. Next time we are going to learn how to fix a puncture.
