Haiku


 Stingray in motion

Jets soaring through deep water

Scavenging for food

WhatNow Recount

 WhatNow Recount


Last Sunday room 8 and 7 got invited to WhatNow at Shantytown and we had to be there at 7am, but the people didn't come until 7:10 to unlock the gate. When we were allowed inside the gate it took another ten minutes for the whatNow people to get us ready and tell us what to do.


The first live video was us getting off the train in Shantytown. We did a practice run which everyone thought was real and then did the real one on live tv 15 minutes after we had done the practice run.  The second clip was, say it don't spray it, we filmed it in front of the old fire station in Shantytown.


 They picked five people to say this tongue twister if they got the tongue twister wrong they would get squirted with foam and if they got it correct they wouldn't spray them with foam, the tongue twister was, “Sheila seldom sells shelled shrimps in Shantytown”.


Next we lined up to go to the movie theater, we walked into the movie theater and everyone walked into this massive dark room which was the movie theater which we were not supposed to go in. Then it cut to a clip that Erin had filmed the day before.


The next activity/clip was a clip of Room 7 and 8  gold panning while the WhatNow person spoke to the camera and the person that works at Shantytown taught  Erin the WhatNow person how to gold pan. I found gold and took it to her and I got on television.


We then did our second to last clip by playing, ‘Target The Teacher’.  Before we started the clip the people that screamed the loudest were allowed to play. Jack got chosen but I personally think Wyatt broke the sound barrier and should have gotten chosen too. 


When we went live Ms Newton had to answer questions and if she answered right everyone got sprayed in foam but if she answered wrong (which she did) the few that were chosen were able to hit the target with a ball.  When they did gunge poured onto Ms Newton. 


The final activity was multi gunge at the post office, Erin got the foam gun and shot us all with it except Xavier and Alex. They went right to the back and dodged the foam because they didn't want to get changed. Erin said, “ I haven't left enough mess behind so let’s make some mess”. Erin gave us all a gunge bottle each at the end.In conclusion it was a fun morning and we got to watch ourselves on television when we got home.


Wild things
