Lesson 1 & 2 Dance:
Today was a massive mess up, our teacher was not here and we were having difficulties trying to find the music CD so in the end we only had about 25 minutes rehearsal time in total of 2 hours, what a waste of time. We went through the dance which we had put together so far and we decided to roughly add on an ending to our days. After the fairy and duet part, we decided to use the dance Miss Scrubb taught us previously before her innocent with her ankle for the ending. which involved us doing the same movement at the same time and then we run off into a line where each at the same time we would strike mighty actions from one side and switch to the other, we switch 4 times and perform the actions, "running, leaning, showing off muscles and mercy", seeing as there was 5 of us we all had to do this in a separate order. We then held the last action for at least 4 seconds and one by one go beside each other in a straight line, hold hands, bow and turn a 90 degree anti-clockwise angle and walk off.
Even though we missed out quite a lot of time from these two lessons, we still managed to come up with an ending although 1 or 2 changes could be made but we have a bit of time to rehearse just before the performance and we were given the soundtrack on copyrighted CD to that we could practise at home. We were also told that if we want our substitute teacher is doing after school practise next Thursday. In which I will be attending!

Lesson 3 - Today in music, we typed up some of our blogging and some
Lesson 4 & 5 - Drama
The last two lessons, Miss.Williams decided to take us over to Brooke (upper site) so that we could rehearse in the hall on stage so that we can get ready for what we are expecting for the performance next week on Tuesday 14th Of December. We were given tips on how to improve our confidence, for some stage-fright, speaking out loud, facial expressions. space and timing. Whilst getting changed for different parts of the performance, we must be very quick or else we will miss our queue. Today was a great refresher for me, considering I have not performed on a stage probably since primary school., we rehearsed through the script many times, some pupils had things to work on so as we went through scene-by-scene, Miss.Williams helped us on our difficulties and told us what we had to improve on and what changes need to be made. My goal for today was to improve my stability of speaking loud enough, because when I'm in the classroom rehearsing it feels so different to being on stage, so I started off loud then quietened as I got into character. Also I still get mixed up with when I stay my lines, I tend to get them mixed up. By the end of the lesson, I managed to overcome this and I believe that I am ready for the performace. Costumes were sorted, props and the safety check list was finished which I had made myself.
I had also volunteered to speak upon the presentation of picture, I have to speak in terms to their ability and understanding but also teach them new things about eiditing. I had nothing prepared, but I was told that the words just have to come to my head, this is very simple if you have an intellegent mind to think on the spot. But, on the day the media department are going to go through it with me before the performance anyways so Im in luck.
Today was great!
