Memories from MOTAT

This is what MOTAT looked like to Room1.

Strike Percussion

STRIKE PERCUSSION

Today at 9; 30 Strike Percussion came to Dairy Flat School! When I first heard that strike percussion were coming to school I got really excited.

When we first walked in Strike percussion introduced them selves to us. The leader Tom first said to us "hi I’m Tom and this is my band Strike Percussion". He also said "on my right hand side is Flipper. Let me explain why his name is Flipper". Just then Flipper did a full back-flip right in front of us.  It was amazing and everyone was stunned. When everyone snapped out of it Tom introduced the Hitman, the best drummer in the world. Once everyone was introduced they did their first song called Territory.

After Territory,  Tom called up Mrs Forlong and Mrs Thomson who had a battle of the drums. Mrs Thomson’s numbers were 2 and 4 and Mrs Forlong’s numbers were 1,2,3 and 4. They battled the drums to death until they were so exhausted they collapsed. Tom said "you teachers are even stevens in drumming". 

Next was the log drum’s from South Africa.  Before they started that part of the show they picked 6 people to play the log drum’s.  The beat was ba ba ba ba bababababa. After that it was a massive bow and it was all over.  Personally, I thought it was the best show ever in my life!!!!!

After all the fun was over it was time for prize giving. When all the kids were in the hall they handed out the trophies . There were a lot of shiny gold trophies ,a medal and a certificate were with it to!

After the prize giving was over they did the raffle. Erin Travers won the raffle it was filled with goodies. The food looked so yummy it looked good for eating right away

Animals spend a day at school!!

The  Amazing Ag Day

On Saturday 18^th October Dairy Flat School had Ag day which was annoying for some people because they had to come to school on a SATURDAY!

The kids at Dairy Flat School had to raise an animal like a goat, a calf or a lamb. They have to walk it around some posts and stop at the stop sign for ten seconds then go anticlockwise around the next post. After this the kids have to call their animal. Nearly all of the animals just stayed in the same place or they jumped over the fences and ran away!

After the kids walked and called their animals they had the rest of the day to have fun and buy yummy food. The donuts were awesome.  The cinnamon and sugar made your mouth water.  The kids mainly used their money for junk food like lolly pops and donuts. By the end of the day all of the kids looked sick.

The parade was amazing. Heaps and heaps of kids dressed up themselves and their animal and marched around the field. If they looked good enough they would win a prize, one of them won a bouncy ball! The prizes were endless. There were awesome prizes too, like earphones.

Last of all a band performed ‘We Will Rock wicked'. At the end of the day Tom Peppers said he felt amazing because he had had a very fun day!

Ag day at Dairy Flat School

On Saturday 18^th October D.F.S held a festival called Ag day. Kids had to bring animals or a scarecrow. But it was on a SATURDAY at school!

The children had to bring a lamb, chicken or a calf and had to call them, lead them and dress them up like a pirate. There was 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place. If you got a place you would get a ribbon with 1^st,2^nd and 3^rd on it.  
         

If they didn’t have an animal they could bring in a paver, scarecrow or Lego construction. They also had 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd but instead of getting a ribbon you got a certificate.

  While that was going on the D.F.S instrument players played some boss beats.  Jacob.L thinks it was hard but fun.   Tom P., a D.F.S student can’t wait until next year because he had so much fun.
