Spatial, Psychological and Monologues!!!!
These are all different types of drama. We had different activities for each of these types and they were really fun. We started with spatial. Spacial drama is about using the space around us. First we went in groups and when Nicola called out an object we had to mack it in our groups. My favourite one was the washing machine. We also did other activities.

In performance today we were rehearsing our monologues because we are performing them for the group next week. We got to wear costumes. I am going to be wearing pig tails and a big skirt because I am a little girl who likes to dress up. 

Tooth fairy!!!

"From now on when I lose a tooth I am going to put some anti bacterial hand sanitizer under my pillow".............
That is a just a wee snippet of my monologue I am doing for performance. Everyone in the group is doing a monologue and my one is about a girl who has a tooth under a pillow and she keeps asking questions about how the tooth fairy works.  She is a curious person and asks lots of questions. I am really enjoying learning it and today I got to wear a long swishy skirt so I could pretend to be her.

A bit of fun.......

This morning at Enrich after morning tea, we had another session of performance.  We learnt a new warmup called 'Big Booty'. That is where everyone has a number and one person starts and says big booty big booty big booty rest, Big booty big booty big booty and then a number . And you say it to a clapping pattern. Then the person whose number got called out did it next and it just keeps going. We also ran over our songs don't stop me now, life on mars and like an eagle.

At the end of the session we had  bit of fun.......
Nicola bought can can skirts for the girls who are going to be doing the can can in our show. We put them all on Mia because she is the smallest and boy did she look funny. Then we got to try them on.

Week 2 Term 2

Hello blog readers,
Today at Enrich we started with a game of chess using the big chess board. We were in teams - black and white and then had a chess battle. My team (the black team) had six players on the team. We took turns each to make a move, and explain why we were moving the piece, so that we could make a game plan!  We also had another session of performance. This week we had a different teacher because Nicola was sick.I already knew Amanda because she taught at my school a few times. For performance we learnt a new song called "Like an Eagle" and we also sang our old songs too. We are doing well learning all these new lyrics to each song.

Busy morning...

Howdy partners. I'm just kidding.

Hello blog readers,

Today at Enrich we had a lesson on chess with Katie. We were learning different strategies to help us defeat our opponent. We learnt that when you move a player without thinking! You have to have a reason why you moved it there. We went into teams and used the big chess board.

Today we also talked about the Renzulli's model of giftedness. He believes that there are three things you need to make you gifted. They are task commitment, creativity and above average ability. But this model is only one person's opinion.

Performance........my favourite time of day. I grabbed my workbook out of my tote tray and ran to the performance corner. I was bubbling with excitement and had butterflies because we never know what to expect with Nicola.

We got ready for our warmups. We started with clapping to the beat using the keyboard. Next we everyone's favourite warmup - what should we do? That is where we have to move our bodies on the word "should". 

After that we did the beans games which I told you about last week. Then we learnt three new songs for our show that we will be doing in Wachner Place. They are; Don't stop me now by Queen, Taller, stronger, better by Guy Sebastian and Oh My by Gin Wigmore.

What an exciting day!!!

Talent development and keynote refresher!!

Gidday matey! 

No I am not in Australia but I would like to be....

Today at Enrich we did another session of talent development. This week for performance we learnt new body and vocal warm-ups and a new song. The song was called River Deep, Mountain High performed by the Glee cast. We sang it three times to learn it, then we started dancing to it. At Enrich today we also did a keynote refresher and we learnt how to use keynote. Keynote is a program on a apple computer where you can do presentations and things like that. I learnt how to add in build ins and outs and transitions.
Bye!!:)
