Last day of Drama

Reflective blog post:

What have I learnt?
I learnt what makes up a musical theatre (the crew).

How does this work show my learning?
We made a background that was on stage and one of the things you need for a musical theatre to happen is props.

What did I find challenging?
What I found challenging was performing on stage because it a lot of courage for me to do.

What would I do differently?
I would've added choreography because we looked boring and weird just standing in one spot.

What am I wondering?
I am wondering what we would've looked like if we had choreography.

what was it like performing on the day?
While sitting down waiting and watching people's performance my heart beats a little faster as one performance finishes but once I step on the stage my nervousness went away but I still felt awkward looking in the front.

Drama With Mrs Clark

Games

Today we played two exciting games. One of them was led by Pearl and Jordan, it is called Finding Nemo, yes like the movie!

https://media.giphy.com/media/OXF91oNPj8NH2/giphy.gif

In order for the game to work, you need 2 people, one of them is Marlin, the person that is playing as Marlin has to find the secret Nemo, Marlin has to tag random people to find out who Nemo is. Nemo can heal people that Marlin tagged to revive them.

Commitment

I showed commitment today by participating on all of the games and playing fairly.

Energy

I showed energy by running as much as I can to get away from the tagger.
