Today I made a storyboard about what I did in the holidays. I found it easy because I learnt really quickly how to use it. I found this task quite interesting because I usually write about my holidays in a google doc.

Fourth day they celebrate when Bali took over his new kingdom it is also the is the new year. Fifth day the day when sisters worship their brothers.

The ladies from the show that we watched wore a sari. The original lengths of a sari is about 9 metres. I thought the show was really good. The ladies wore bells on there legs that were 7 kg's a bell. I was blown away by that. They have 2 bells so that is 14 kg on there legs. This is a picture of the people who came do a dance.
