El Grego Show

On the 26th of July, El Grego came to Hoon Hay School with his assistant/wife Sue. They did the You've got the Power show. They had brought heaps of animals, such as two rabbits, an African grey parrot and lots of other parrots. His show was mainly about standing up to stop bullying and be a school hero. This was the poem he had to help us remember it:

Honesty
Empathy
Resilient
Oppurtunities

and this time he added one extra one:

Respectful

My favourite trick he did was when they had found a boy in the school and he had been all measured up ready for the trick. The boy (his name was Simon) was put into a box with flaps and only his legs and face stuck out the ends. El Grego then closed the box and said a magic word and then when he lifted up the middle flap,  Simon's middle had gone! My second favourite trick was when he got one of his parrots and then put it into a box. The box was on the table and then when he lifted the box up and the bird was gone! Then after that he explained that inside the table there was actually a cage (the table was covered with a blanket) and when the bird had gone into the box, the box was actually covering the trap door that the bird had been trained to open!
