Fuse Circus

The Navigators is one of the Fuse Circus's busker shows.


Room 2 walked down to Trafalgar Square to see the Navigators perform. We left the school at 10:55. The sun was burning when we got to Trafalgar Square, and we had to sit down waiting for the show to start for 15 mins.


Two of the cast came out to entertain us until the show started. Then a man came out onto the stage with a funny green hat on and played a sort of game with the audience to start the show off. "I will ring that bell up there then the show will start!" he said. There was a pole up next to the bell and he did all sorts of acrobatics up the pole and then rang it.


The two ladies who came out earlier to entertain the crowd came out onto the stage as well as another woman and a man dressed in bronze and brown. The show was all about the cast being on a sailing boat and there was a storm and the captain of the ship got lost in the storm and the 5 of them had to sail the ship to land.


There was the man with the funny green hat, a woman dressed in a white and blue frilly outfit, another woman with a white and frilly outfit, another woman with a red and black lacy outfit and the man dressed in bronze and brown outfit.


Throughout the story of sailing back to land, they all did amazing acrobatics that fitted in with the story which showed how agile, flexible, strong and what great balance they had!


At the end they brought out the buckets for the money and one of the men said "If you give $10 then the crew will get coffee,  if you pay $50 the crew will get lunch and if you pay $100 then you get Lila (one of the woman cast)!!   That was very funny!


It was incredible to watch but I don't think I'll ever be able to work as hard as them and do those frightening acrobatics!!!!!


bye, till next time

Rock Sculpture!

Hi everyone,

Dave (my teacher) said that we need clothes that we could get wet in and suitable footwear. He didn't tell us what we were going to do or where we were going. I thought it was something to do with water but i didn't think we were going to sculpt anything!

On Tuesday the 9th of Feb Room 2 walked down to the Maitai River by the Nile Street bridge. We didn't know what we were doing there. Dave said we were going to build a sculpture, a circle made out of stones in the river. Dave looped a long skipping rope around a stick and pulled it around the stick to  mark out where the circle would be.
As someone pulled the rope around children put down rocks and pebbles at the end of it. The circle looked awesome even though we had just started. We kept adding rocks until it was 9-10 inches high.

Halfway though the process of building it I dropped a rock on my finger. The rock had ripped some of the skin off and it was bleeding a bit but it wasn't till later you could see all the bruising and it was really really swollen. It was bad luck because it stopped me helping a lot more than I was.  Continuing the bad luck, when we up on the Nile Street bridge somehow I grazed my back!!!

The stone circle we had made looked awesome once we had finished!!!!!!

See ya! Ella (with the sore finger heha).
