"Hurry up girls, we don't have all day! Tonight's our first rehearsal and we've got to be perfecto, ok"? 
Today in performance we practiced our moves for Don't Stop Me Now and Let Me Entertain You.
Today is the rehearsal and we're even gonna have the soloist, Eli come in to do the solo part for Don't Stop Me Now! 
Well we were actually meant to have Maria come in to show us the whole dance but she didn't but I reckon we coped all right!

Well, off to lunch to practice me moves! 
Yours sincerely........... wait for it....... Pearl

Please DON'T stop me now!! Pretty please.

Today for Talent Development we sort of had a competition with our singing and dancing for Don't Stop Me Now. We had to have sharp moves because Nicola said! Plus, our first performance in front of others is coming up so we needed to make sure we had the right moves. The music started. For the first round, five girls went up and did the moves and we sang. I picked Reina because she was the strongest singer AND she had a good attitude with her dance. 

Today for Performance we did something slightly different instead of just singing. Today we had a girl from James Hargest Senior  come in and show us some dance moves. Her name was Ella.
We had lots of clicking with our hands in the song just so the dance could fit in with the song. We danced to Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams.

Groove out of it!

Performance

"Some things are meant to be, the clouds floating fast and free," Oh hi, just been in performance for a new song. Have you heard the story Little Women? Well I'm gonna tell you all about it, well about the song anyway. It's called Some Things Are Meant To Be. If you are a person who is emotional then do not listen to this song. It's so sad. Nicola our performance teacher was crying all the way through the song on Monday and Tuesday, but now she's sucked it up and moved on!


Anyway back to what I was saying, we listened to Some Things Are Meant To Be  and THEN we sharpened up our moves in Don't Stop Me Now. There is a soloist for the first part of the song and then we come in on "I'm havin' a good time and then start to sing from there.

BLOG YA LATA........ PEARL

Today in performance we took photos of ourselves. We needed a buddie, a good pose and most importantly a real smile not a fake one. Kady was my partner. We took many photos until we got them perfect. We took much longer than we expected. Kady ended up with a photo against the wall and I went with a cute one - like a cat, like this!

Bye!

"Quick quick, pass me the string. I need it now!" Today at Enrich we had another technology challenge. We had to make a stretcher that could hold four flour and sugar babies. Now, I know you THINK that there is no such thing as that but that is because they are made out of sugar and flour packets.

We had finally finished our design, but it looked really unappealing. 

"Oh well Pearl," said Kady, "It's not the end of the world! We can still win if it holds."

Katie had set up an obstacle course on the walkway. It had cones for rocks and chairs set up on the other end of the room as mountains.

We were totally out of shape because we lost it when we were doing the obstacle. For starters we didn't have a strong enough design and secondly when we picked it up of the ground ALL of our handles fell off. 

Today I learnt that if you are more interested in what you're doing then you start to communicate more but... If you are not that interested you do less work when your group really needs you to help!

That's all folks!

"Oh no! Where's my rook"? I asked Kady.
"Somewhere,"she replied. 
We were playing chess and I couldn't find my Rook because Kady had hidden it.
"Kady, if we don't play we'll never finish the game in time!" 
I moved my pawn forward one because then I could move my Queen and protect the King from any danger.
Kady moved the pawn in front of the Queen two spaces in front.
We never finished but the next time we play chess I'm going to take my Queen out of the game and use the other players differently.



Later folks!
