They were a Carnival on Saturday Melissa, Leah, Mia, Honor, Phoebe, Abby, Neil, Rosie, Emer, Sofia, Anne, Ann-Marie and I went on an alien float which we called the Da Yellians  It was silver and it had a big point at the front of it and big sticky out bits and we all made different bits for a float. I was wearing my green suit which  mum bought me and then I wore my green t-shirt  over top of it  and mum  put my hair in plaits  and used Kirby Grips  in my fringe and Lucy and Imogen painted my face green and did my makeup. When we got there I saw all the other aliens. Auntie Anne brought her radio which was battery powered and mum brought her CD which had lots of songs that sounded spacey. We had sweeties that were Milky Ways, Mars Bars and Flying Saucers. We threw the Milky Ways and Mars Bars but we ate the Flying Saucers they were very yummy .The were prizes for the float that came 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd and they were prizes for the people that were walking got prizes too, The people that walked also got prizes. The float that came first was Da Yellians second prize went to the Christmas Float and third prize went to the Pirates.

On Saturday I went to the carnival. I was dressed up has an alien. We had to make the float. I got tinfoil and I wrapped the wood with tinfoil. I cut out the planets and I stuck the lights on the tinfoil cases. It was 1km to the Hall to the weaving shed. I went on the float. We had things to sit on then we threw sweeties. I went to the barbecue I had a hot dog. I went to see the sheep race it was fun. Honor and I was looking for candy. The Jarl squad came to the carnival and the Jarl squad was singing outside next to the barbecue. We went to the weaving shed to had a drink. We came 1^st in the carnival.

A lot of the pupils went on the alien float but I went on the star wars float I would of gone on the alien float but I was Yoda so I went on  Star Wars. They were an R2-D2 it was a bin with explosives and if you are a fan of Star Wars there was a Jabba the Hut it was made out of foam that was pentad. There were 3 Yodas on the float and one storm trooper and a C-3PO and a Darth Maul and a Darth Vader. We went about half a mile it started at the main hall to our weaving shed. At the weaving shed there was a barbecue selling chicken nuggets, chips, hot dogs and cheese burger. There were more than 200 people maybe even more.

On Friday in the weaving shed there was music playing called Merrie Dansers accordion, fiddle key board, flute and bass.

Making The Float

The carnival was on Saturday, before Saturday we had to make a float for the carnival for us to go in. We had a meeting at Honor’s granddad’s shed because the float was at Honor’s granddad’s shed. It was a trailer to start with but then the adults made it have sides and a roof on the float. John, Honor’s dad, put a triangle on the side of the float. Some of the adults put a star sheet on the sides and the roof. The kids were allowed to make some alien things to go in the float the adults did some too. Honor’s mum got some little lights from the nursery so we used them in our alien things. Then it was ready for the carnival.
