Little Shop of Horrors

On Thursday 15th May the year 7 and 8's from Sacred Heart school were invited to a musical called 'The Little Shop of Horrors' proformed by Catholic Cathedral College. 

The musical was about a boy called Seemore who grew a plant in his bedroom, which then turned into a monster plant which only feed on blood. Seemore called the plant 'Audre two',he named the plant after the girl he liked called Audre. 

There was also a live band who played the songs. Seemore was jealous of Audre's boyfriend. One day when Seemore was at the dentist where Audre's boyfriend worked, Seemore took a gun but he was to scared to shot it. Audre's boyfriend loved to put a gas mask over his nose and mouth the inhale the gas. In the end the gas killed him. Seemore then took the body to the flower shop called 'Moushnik's' owned by Mr and Mrs Moushnik, where the plant sat and he feed the body to the plant. 

The plant then ate Mr and Mrs Moushnik while they were trying to look for some money that had gone missing. Since the plant had, had so much blood it grew so big and sprouted little Audre two's.

On Thursday the 15th of May Rooms 6 & 7 went to a play called the Little Shop of Horrors at Catholic Cathedral College. The play was about a boy named Seemore who worked at a flower shop. Seemore made giant plants that only fed on blood and people. A girl named Audrey who also worked at the flower shop had a troubled boyfriend and when Seemore found this out he went around to his work at the dentist to find that Audrey's boyfriend had, had a Gas overload and died. 

When Seemore went back to the flower shop the plant needed feeding so he feed the plant Audrey's boyfriend. When Audrey's boyfriend disappeared Seemore became Audrey's boyfriend. Mr and Mrs Mushnick, the owners of the flower shop, worked out that Seemore feed the plant Audrey's ex-boyfriend and Seemore didn't like that so he killed them and feed them to the plant. 

The plant then bit Audrey and made her very sick and then she died in Seemore's hands. Seemore then feed Audrey to the plant. Because everyone had been feed to the plant Seemore feed him self to the plant. There were hundreds of little plants that sucked blood and ate people

On the 15th May 2014, the year 7 and 8's of Sacred Heart School went to Catholic Cathedral College, to watch the production of Little Shop Of Horrors, performed by the students of Cathedral College 

Beginning with a song performed by 6 girls, the play went on to tell the story of a girl named Audrey, a boy named Seymour and his creation, the Audrey 2. The Audrey 2 is a plant that with its unique appearance brings great attention to an unpopular flower store, in which Audrey and Seymour work in for an old couple. At first it seemed that nothing could be better for everyone until Seymour discovers why the Audrey 2 is dying even when he cares for it. 

Acting and music was amazingly used to tell the shocking tale of Seymour , his man-eating plant and how it affects all those around him. While managing to find itself a meal, the monster of a plant also found himself succeeding in turning a innocent young man into a killer. His first victim was Audrey's creepy and violent boyfriend who found other people pain enjoyable and loved his job as a dentist. His second and third victims were his employers who had recently asked him to let them adopt him. 

The plant didn't think that was good enough to it took Audrey by its self. Tricking her into letting it eat her. The whole thing had back fired for Seymour, ending the life of his beloved Audrey and loosing his employers who were very close to him. The messed up love story had come to a horrible ending and the fame that the Audrey 2 had brought him wasn't worth it anymore. In the end Audrey 2's we're being sold all over America and the Audrey 2 had eaten Seymour as well. I

n this story there was no happy ending for anyone, it ended leaving the audience wondering what happened to the Audrey 2 and everyone who had bought one.

Music lessons

Adrienne Hale is a pleasant teacher who indoctrinates us with her musical knowledge every Monday. This year so far we have started to play the recorder, learning new chords. We are also currently composing our own music and later in the year we will focusing on the annual end of year play, where all students participate in a wonderful production. By Violet

Each and every Monday, Adrienne Hale comes to Sacred Heart school to share her wide knowledge of music with the students. They go to learn a variety of skills class by class. During room 7's lessons, although it has only been a few weeks, Adrienne has began to teach the students how to play the recorder, write note, what certain notes values are, about rests and even how to compose their own music. Many of the children are extremely talented in this area and can creatively write a piece of music and play it on the recorder. These lessons are very enjoyable and personally I am delighted to attend them.  By Willow

Cycle Safe 2013

On the 25th November Room 7 of Sacred Heart School had their first day of learning about cycle safety. To teach the students about cycle safety, the cycle safe team spent the day at Sacred Heart. Cycle Safe is a program sent around Christchurch by the Christchurch City Council. The team is split into two units and each unit has a certain amount of schools each. The Cycle Safe Crew teach students about road rules, what road signs mean, how to bike safely on the road, how to do a 4 step safety check on bikes and many other interesting facts that will help students later on in life. In conclusion, it was a fun filled day of new learner facts and skills. 

The end

By Willow

The morning was opaque and a bit nippy due to weather the previous day but the day endured on to be a pleasant climate to be learning the requirements for biking on the road harmlessly. Firstly we observed on what the cycle safety team had to say and they then briefly informed us about what we will be doing later in the morning.

Each individual was spilt into groups of approximately 10 people then we ambled towards the other instructors who were inspecting our bikes seeing whether they were in good condition.then we continued to repeat four simple steps to check if your bike is road worthy to be driven.

Then we followed each other towards the main court and drove our bikes around cones we imitated this for several minutes while signalling with our hands we continued with a 20 minute interval and returned back to be tested on the basic cycle safety rules this persevered until each person in your group had finished when so they had spare time to ride around on your bikes this lasted until lunch time.

When lunch time was finished so was biking due to weather conditions but we had inside session defining what the road signs meant, this was ended by a couple of convivial games.

Overall our first day of cycle safety was a success learning about the basic road and cycle rules.
