" Come on people!" Nicola started ordering. "Shoulders out, standing still with legs apart"
Today we learned a new song in performance called Maybe Tomorrow. Our challenge was to memorize the song but that was kinda easy because it's a catchy song, I can type some of it now:
"All of your sorrows, maybe tomorrow will fade away in the air, tryin' to please me makin' it easy, it won't be there, it won't be there... in your life, in your life.

We had three shots at getting it right but I took two because I knew the song anyway.
Well bye for now folks:-)

Got the nerves

It was nearly my turn and I had the nerves."Pearl, It's your turn now!" I was shaking with fear but at least no one saw it in the video.We were rehearsing our monologues from weeks before and believe me, it was scary.Not like freaky scary but feeling scary. I was doing a tooth fairy monologue and I was saying what I thought about the tooth fairy.

"I lost a tooth the other day and my Mum told me to put it under my pillow...." Even though I was freaked I still didn't make one single mistake so I thought I did pretty well anyway. I went onto stage a bit later because my first name is more later on in the alphabet so I didn't need to worry.Oh I'm so glad I finished my monologue and I only got one bad report but that wasn't really a big issue because it was only my volume.

Well, blog ya later

I Was a Pancake Today

"Make a Sandwich already!" said Nicola as we played a 'spatial drama' game. The game was called Ten Second Objects because of course, we were in a group and we had to make an object in ten seconds. But not an easy object out of anything, but an object out of people. The sandwich was so easy because you just lay on top of each other and in my group, poor Kady had everyone lying on her.

There were other ones like that but they grew harder and harder but I had a favourite one, the breakfast. I was a pancake with Kady, Daniel was a mushroom, Hamish was something weird and Olivia was a boiled egg.

The next drama game we played was 'phychological drama' and it was called There's Only One Liar which was easy because you just close your eyes, and a teacher comes round and taps someone on the shoulder. The first round we played, she tapped no-one and the next round she tapped everyone and we went blaming everyone.

Bye!

Monologues

You may not have heard of Monologues but do not fear, I'm here to tell you what they are.
A monologue is an act played by an actress in a movie or play, but if you don't really get it, here is the tooth fairy play:

"I lost a tooth the other day, and my mum told me to put it under my pillow and that in the middle of the night the tooth fairy would come in and replace my tooth with some cash. OKay... so I have some questions and concerns here.

#1) What does this little tooth freak do with all these teeth? By my calculations somewhere in the world a child loses a tooth every .08 seconds... BUT they are not all in the same part of the world.. which brings me to..."

I'm not going to do any more of my Monologue because it goes on and on.

If your fascinated about what the tooth fairy DOES do with our teeth, you're gonna have to find out for yourself because to be honest, I don't know what happens to teeth!

Well, See ya later

The 'Pit'...

Have you ever fallen into a pit that you couldn't get out of? Well if you have or are about to here is some advice for you:

You may have thought: "Today I'm going to have a great day today" and then you haven't done your homework, when it's due that day and your Mother is already yelling at you to get your shoes on and your teacher has givin' you a warning about your homework and if you do it one more time you'll get sent to the principal's office..........

Then you're at the breaking point of falling into the pit. If you don't do something quick though, the hole grows deeper and deeper.

One thing you can do is be organised or even ask for help, but remember your friends don't want to be up at the top of the pit for hours and hours and even months waiting for you to climb up. But if you keep on trying to be organised, you'll find yourself nearly at the top of the pit and you can just about jump out of it.

Bye... Pearl

Chess

Today I played chess with Violet and did pretty well, but the worst thing was we never finished the game to reveal the winner! 

There are eight pawns which are the smallest players, two Rooks, knights and bishops and last of all one of each Queen and King. 

The pawns can move upwards and take other players on a diagonal. The Rooks can't move on a diagonal, only straight but as many squares as they want. The Knight goes on in an "L" shape, the Bishop however can ONLY go on a diagonal. The King can go all directions, but can only move one square at a time. The Queen is quite powerful because she can go all directions and as MANY squares as she wants.

Guess which player is which!

Bye

 

Life on Mars

Hi, I'm back from the school holidays!

The pressure was on as we learnt a new, hard song.

The song was called "Life on Mars," originally sung by David Bowie. I need to tell you though that it's a HIGH song. 

We always have a warm-up song before we actually start singing just to get our voices warmed up.

Well anyway, BYE!
