Mitey The Dog Recount - Roman

Introduction:

After Morning Interval, our teacher told us that he had a little surprise for the class and he pulled up a balloon pack out of a shelf, he then advised us to pump it with the given pump that the pack came with. 

The Garbage Pump:

The pump was pretty bad, but luckily our teacher brought a second pack which got a better pump than the first one. While everyone was pumping their balloons, our teacher pulled up a video saying instructions to make a balloon dog.

The Twist:

After everyone pumped their balloons, we all started to follow the video’s instructions and one of the moves was to make a lock twist. A locktwist is when you pinch the balloon and twist the balloon. Most in my class didn’t know how to do the locktwist, so we just helped each other.

The Torso And Tail:

After making the locktwist the video that our teacher put on the TV said to make the torso of the dog, and the instructions to make it was to twist the balloon twice then pull it together which also forms a little tail. 

The Finished Product:

After most of my classmates were finished, we started to play around with the balloon dogs. Our teacher had an idea to record us making them for our Manaiakalani Film to represent our school and class.

What is Mitey?

Mitey is an organization (a group of people) that helps people with mental illness like depression, anxiety etc. John Kirwan chose a balloon dog for his logo because depressed people were called the Black Dog.
