The Lion King

I am helping out in The Bridge School's "The Lion King".  I am playing one of the raffiki's or narrator's of the story. I am doing it, because the director, Andrea asked me to help her out.  She needed more older kids in the production.  Today was the first day that we all practiced on stage.

I'm on the very left side.  I have to sing two songs and help out with the others.

We worked on a lot of the scenes in the first half of the play.  It was long, and at times boring.  Mom tells me that the actual production will go faster and be more fun.

The Lion King - Play Practice

Last Day at the Bridge School

June 4th was the last day of school and it was at Seahurst Park (the beach).  It was a beautiful morning.

We played some games, had a race with a backpack...

 I played mainly with Andy (he is one of my best friends-there is also Vaugn & Sabrina)  Andy and I will be moving on to Kent Mountain View Academy this fall.  I am glad that I will not be going alone.

 I got Mom to stay at the beach with me all morning.  She brought the dogs and her knitting.  (She's wearing the black sweatshirt.)

 Andy and I went on a rock hunt.

In the evening, we had a Moving On Ceremony at the Bridge School.  Our teachers had something nice to say about each of us.

I am going to miss the Bridge School but I am looking forward to 3rd Grade at Kent Mountain View.

Mock Trial at the Burien Courthouse

During the month of May, our school has been learning about the government (remember the Capitol?)  Today, our whole school did a mock trial of The Three Bears vs Goldilocks.  Goldilocks was on trial for bad behavior!  But first, we had to walk to the courthouse.

 We had to go through a metal detector.  The Mom's took longer than the kids.

 The defendants. (Left to Right) Goldilock's mother, Goldilocks, and their attorney.

(Left to Right) Momma Bear, Poppa Bear, Baby Bear, and me, their attorney.

                                                 

 Malia is the judge and she actually has the robe!

 The Plantiffs and Defendants, ready for action!

 The Coho Room sat in the jury.

 I opened the questioning staring with Momma Bear.  She is on the witness stand.

  Then I had Poppa Bear and Baby Bear.

 Goldilocks got sworn in.  After all the questions were asked the jury retired to another room to deliberate.  They finally came back in.

 Goldilocks was found to be innocent of bad behavior!!!!!  I was surprised.

This was a lot of fun and it was neat that we got to use a real courtroom!

Baby Bear on the witness stand!

Rowan is the Bear Family's attorney. Baby Bear (Andy) is on the witness stand to testify against Goldilocks eating his porridge, breaking his chair, and sleeping in his bed.
