The Chinese Performance
At 9:30am the whole school went to the Auditorium to watch the Chinese Peformance. I felt excited because I haven’t watched a lot of shows before.
The first peformance was the drummers. The Chinese girls played them very loudly and very fast. The Chinese Performers also played the cymbals. They were was so amazing because they kept the beat and played in time with the drummers. I couldn’t stop my feet from tapping and my face from smiling.
The next performance was the Tea Pouring. A long time ago when the Chinese sailors worked on the boats they used to drink a lot of tea to cool themselves down. They used a teapot with a metre long spout and they practiced tricks with it. I thought their tricks was spectacular.
My favourite peformance was the Shaolin Monks. They were like ninjas. One of them was like a rope as he was so flexible. They were dressed in bright orange and yellow costumes that made them look like very colourful. They showed us their kicks and punches and their tricks with the chain whip and the bamboo sticks. They told us that they do this to keep fit and healthy.
I think the Shaolin Monks were inspiring. It makes me want to join up. I think they all used the Habits of Mind persitance because they never gave up and kept on trying. They trained for between 10 – 20 years! I would really like to watch them again. They were so AWESOME!!!!
