Lorraine Auckland Live

Yesterday at Auckland Live a lady came out of nowhere dressed like the olden days. She was wearing a long brown and dark brown dress, it was nice. She came to show us around the whole backstage scenes and the lighting. That was fun. Then she told us a bit about herself. Their were a few other schools. There as well they were younger ones then us. They were year 5’s and 6’s. We all splitted into groups like a school mixed with a couple of other students from another school. There were 5 different subjects that we got to learn about.

{1} There was a lady and she talking about what she doe’s for her job. And her job was the lighting on the stage. We got to have a turn. We were shining the light on the other group who was ahead of us and on the next activity. That was funny.

{2} There were 2 men and they were to backstage men who are in charge of the 90 something ropes. They were talking about their job. And what it’s like to make a mistake.

{3} There were 2 ladies and their job was to run around putting fake blood on the costumes trying to make them stand out. She showed us blood bags made out of glad wrap. She even told us the recipe but sorry i'm not allowed to tell you it’s a secret.

{4} There was a lady. She was the costume maker and dresser. She pulled some people out to dress other people.

{5} There was a lady and she is the one who makes the wigs for the actors. It was fun for me.

Magnets.

Today Mrs R. Moopanar told us about how magnets work and what they pick up. She asked for some idea to go on the board. These are the ideas that some students thought of about magnets:
. sticks together
. Picks metal up
. Compatible
. Black/Grey
. Magnetic force
. paper, plastic, brass

Mrs R. Moopanar told us what the magnets are called
. Bar magnet
.U shape magnet- horse shoe
. Donut magnet
. Natural gravity
. man made magnet
. lodestone rock
. north/south

Thank you Mrs R. Moopanar for teaching me about magnets and what magnets are for and what magnets can pick up. I learnt the many different names of the magnets because i never knew any of the names until now.
