= E.O.T.C =

== On Tuesday of E.O.T.C week we went orienteering and my mum was the leader of our group. We had Chiara, James D, Caitlin, Nicolai and Angelina in our group. We found almost all of the clues, but we think one was lost. My favourite part of the day was when we got to paddle in the mud hole. ==

== On wednesday we went to Rangitoto on a ferry and we walked right up it. When we went to the top we had lunch and when we got down we went to the lava caves. Miss Bryant found the Lava caves hard because she is claustrophobic. ==

== On Thursday we did lots of different activities before we went home from school. That night we all came back to school at 5 to camp in the school hall. We got to go night orienteering. We stayed awake late and our teacher Miss Bryant only got 1 hours sleep because everyone was talking so much. When we woke up at school we had breakfast and we got to wear mufti to school on Friday. ==

__ Overall Experience __

The best part for me was staying overnight at school. I have never done that before and it was a lot of fun. Overall I found the whole week was a lot of fun and the best week I've ever had. I highly recommend that if you are in Miss Bryant's class next year, bring a lot of food. Good luck with trying to get Miss Bryant to do the sleepover again. I think she missed her sleep.

Though British fashion designer Alexander McQueen is no longer with us, his legacy continues to live on. It was quite apparent in Kate Middleton's elegant ivory and white satin wedding dress designed by his former assistant Sara Burton and now in this gummy bear dress that was crafted as a unique tribute to the designer for the inauguralcover of Twelv, a magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and culture, that made its debut in May 2012. The brainchild of the magazine's editor - fashion designer Hissa Igarashi and his assistant Sayuri Marakumi, the stunning gown was inspired by Alexander McQueen's 'Parrot Dress', a vibrantly colorful gown that met with the approval of even the most ruthless fashion critics when it was unveiled by the designer, as part of his Spring/Summer collection in 2008. As you can imagine creating this gummy bear replicawas no easy task. The two designers began by building a dress frame using steel wire, which they then covered with a sheet of vinyl. After that began the painstaking work of hand- gluing each and every one of the 50,000 pieces of candy in a perfect rainbow colored order, a task that took them about three weeks. As you can see, the end result was a stunning piece of art that weighed a whopping 220 pounds and took three men to lift. While not quite ideal for a party, it did look good enough to devour!
