Hi I'm Madison! Welcome to my Wiki Page!

Pics 4 Amber-Lee!! <3



Laughing happily everywhere
= Bright stars = =__ Magnificent Maddie! __=

Blue sparkling, aqua coloured eyes; shining as brightly as the twinkling stars on a clear summers night. Hair as golden blonde as the rays of sunshine beating down onto the boiling hot sand. She dances, pirouettes, and leaps gracefully along the cold, hard, wooden floor; watching eyes peer in amazement and awe as she finishes the most amazing dance in an easy split. The crowd claps and cheers as she twirls and spins off into the unknown.

=__Canteen all the way!__ = =Keep the canteen! What has it ever done to you? The canteen helps the school and parents in many ways. The canteen makes money for the school, provides healthy food options, and parents can rely on the canteen so that their children do not go hungry. = =The canteen isn't all that bad! Pukekohe Intermediate School is making money from the canteen. This money could be used to buy computers, interactive whiteboards, books, and other resources used to help pupils with their learning. = =What if there was no food in your cupboard for school lunches? Parents would have to rely on the school canteen for their childs lunch so that they don't starve to death! = =The school canteen can also be used as a treat at the end of the week, or even if you have forgotten your lunch and have a bit of spare change in your pocket. = =Many people think that the canteen is unhealthy. This is not true! Intermediate students are old enough to choose a healthy balanced diet from the canteen. They sell fresh fruit, sushi, salad rolls, and healthy drinks too! = =If the school canteen goes then most children would have a mental breakdown! And if all of the school does their bit and puts their rubbish in the bin then everyone would be happier! =

__My favourite camp moments:__

My favourite activities were the water activities (raft-making, bridge jump, kayaking); <span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">down at the bottom camp. Even though the water was freezing cold!

<span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">One of my favourite moments was Matthew's story-telling of Candyface.

<span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">A suggestion for the camp is to probably make the food a bit yummier! <span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Other than that, camp was a fantastic experience to be a part of, and I was glad <span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">that I took up the oppurtunity to go!

<span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Roasting marshmallows was really fun and delicious to eat! <span style="color: #ff5900; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 140%;">Archery- I wasn't too good at archery because I kept on missing the target, and I only got it on the board once =)

We surveyed three different classes - rooms 37, 36, 28. The categories were Always, Sometimes, and Never with the questions what do you buy, why do you buy it, and what would you like to see (in terms of food) at the canteen.

We all thought that we went quite well but we need to improve our skills by not laughing and working on putting our costumes faster.

<span style="color: #f900ff; display: block; font-family: 'comic sans ms',cursive; font-size: 140%; text-align: center;">Here is a sum up of our Shakespeare play: media type="file" key="Movie on 2011-07-13 at 09.46.mov" width="300" height="300" align="center"



Seminar Question Answers:

1.Nowadays anyone can become a dance teacher with very little training which is a real shame for the industry! There are courses through Tertiary providers such as Unitech etc that offer training for dance teachers. However when I was coming through we had to have completed all of our major dance examinations with the syllabus provider (and this is how I do it with my teachers) received our solo diploma and then completed a teachers certificate (showing we knew all the work in every level and could apply teaching techniques that were relevant to each new step and age group. I also went on to the New Zealand School of Dance which is our most recognised (within the industry) tertiary dance school within New Zealand.

2.Benefits are being able to apply experience to how you teach. Having an eye for technique and performance and ways in which to draw the correct techniques from students or help them to understand how and why steps are performed or should be performed in certain ways. Also reduced risk of injury due to anatomical knowledge and correct step execution. You also will be paid more due to your experience and have more control over the direction your classes will grow or develop, whereas an assistant will be directed in their class development.

3.There are many benefits with dance teaching, you can take your skill anywhere in the world and be employable. You can take choreography to companies if it is of the highest standard, you can open your own school if you have the correct qualifications and affliations. Many go on to become examiners or syllabus creators.
