Illstyle and Peace Comes to Village School

by Amanda G. and Sadie J.

IllStyle, a Hip-Hop group that gives a good message, came to Village on Monday. During the performance, the hip hop group showed different styles of dance and at the end they shared a very inspiring statement to the whole 6th grade.
¨They were trying to teach us that hip hop is not just dance but that it also has a cultural history behind it,¨ said Kate Dulac a 6th grade student at Village School. ¨They did a good job at teaching it, but it was was still fun at the same time.¨
We learned about different styles of hip hop: popping, locking, and breaking. Locking was created by Don Campbell.  Popping was invented by Boogaloo Sam, and breaking, we were taught at the assembly, was invented by Kool Herc, these names are all very interesting!
“The people had a good vibe, guys playing music, the other members of the group dancing. It was fun!” Says Trevor Paine, another 6th grade student at Village school. “I [can] see them performing on the streets in Boston,” he said.
Not everyone had this positive of an opinion. “I don't know if I would want to see it it outside of school,” said Maddison Walker. “It was enjoyable but it was also confusing,” she said.
The group is called Illstyle and they have been performing for quite a while now. They want to inspire people to always be positive. “You can do it too, and your dreams will definitely come true. We have become our dreams and so can you. Think positive and faith that will sail you through. Tests will come; hard work pays off, studying hard doesn't make you soft, stay focused and help a friend,” the group said as they closed out their  performance, smiling.

New Student Comes To The Team BG6

   by Jake B.   Two weeks ago, two new students came to the Village School from Arizona: Ryder and Seren G. Ryder is on team BG6 and Seren is in fourth grade with Mrs. Welsh. Ryder G. said, “I don’t like the heat in Arizona.” He also said, “the teams on each classroom are different from Arizona.”    Ryder said that the people in Arizona are not very different from in Boston.  In comparison, he said, Arizona is an 8 out of ten. Boston is an 9 out of ten. Ryder said that the Marblehead school curriculum  is not very different from the Arizona school curriculum, but having two different teachers is different from his old school.

The Movie Wonder Was Made Well

By: Lexi Fisichelli Wonder is a movie about a boy who has never looked ordinary since the day he was born. His mom has homeschooled him for his entire life. When his parents tell him that he is going to start middle school at a real school, he freaks out. They had to leave some things out of the movie that were kind of important in the book. One important thing they left out was how Auggie got a hearing aid. I think that the book was good because you could really use your imagination, but they both did very well. At Village School in Marblehead MA, every fourth grader reads the book, Wonder . Then last month, the movie Wonder came out. Samantha Roman, a sixth grader at the village school, has read the book and seen the movie. “I like the movie I thought they did good with it,” said Roman. She said that she liked how the book had sections with a different character's perspective every time. She also said that personally, she likes to read the book first then ...

Islanders U12 Team participates in CAN/AM International Tournament

by Madison T. The Can/Am Hockey Tournament takes place every year in Lake Placid NY, teams from all around North America come to Lake Placid to participate. “ The reason we do tournaments like this is to give the team an opportunity to play challenging teams from other parts of North America,” Sue Twombly, U12 Islanders Mj. 2 team manager says. And indeed we did. The Islanders lost their first 1-6 against the Clarington Flames, from Ontario. The Clarington Flames played a whole different game against us than we’re used to. I mean they are Canadians after all, it’s in their blood right? The whole game they were pushing and shoving, knocking us down and taking slap shots straight at us, boy were they good… and mean. We didn’t lose every game, we beat one team, the Flameboro Falcons, who were also from Ontario, The first time we played them we beat them 6-4, it was a pretty good game, we played really well throughout. The next game we were playing our rivals, the Minuteman Lady...
