Drama scenes

Today in drama we had to rewind into a scene, freeze frame and then say what our thought was. Check out out thoughts attached to our picture.

Popping popcorn

Today we experienced the delights of making popcorn it was really fun and delicious the best part of making it was popping it on the element. Popcorn was really nice and fun making we mixed it with butter and oil.

Foaming yeast

Today we learnt that yeast is a rising agent. We put hydrogen peroxide and detergent into a coke zero bottle and added some food colouring. Then we added yeast and felt the bottle get warmer. The yeast started to bubble up. When we shock the bottle it foamed up quickly. We decided to add extra hydrogen peroxide to see what would happen. It made the green colour turn white.

The popcorn blast

We started off with 537 popcorn kernels. 60 popcorn kernels didn't pop on the oil. We turned the element on medium heat and added our kernels in. We also added some oil and watched patiently as our kernels popped. It took about 5 minutes for it to start popping though.

We learnt that inside the hull of the kernel, there is some starch and a droplet of water. Nevertheless, we carried on with our procedure. The pot started vibrating, indicating that the popping was off to a good start. We moved the pot around eagerly waiting for all of the kernels to pop. After around 2-3 minutes, we turned off the heat and took the pot off the element. It was served on some paper towels. It was fun doing this with Finn, Mya, Harikoa and Tyler.

CATS

The Cats show was packed with a lot of people, there were a few schools and teachers. A few students from Sacred Heart watched it too. As the Show started the lights dimmed. Cats came jumping and leaping everywhere. The orchestra started with a loud boom. Many people were surprised, their music was magnificent and very lively. They were singing so beautifully and they didn't seem nervous. They were confident and had a lot spirit. 

Everywhere people were loud clapping and cheering for them. It was a special moment for everyone who was watching. Then the Jellicle Song was sung and it was very loud and clear. During the song different kinds of cats were singing deeply and clearly. The glamour cats came their costumes was very diva like, it made people have butterflies in their stomachs.

Then Grizzabella walked through the stage. She looked very lonely, her voice was the most beautiful voice in the whole cast. She bragged about how she was used to be beautiful, but many cats didn't believe her. Judging by the tone of her voice, I believed her. Everytime she had a part to sing her expression felt lonelier. All because she was getting very old and wrinkly. Everyone crowded around Grizzebella, she felt so glad to have people like her. But she was too old and she died. In the ending all the cats that performed walked in a line and bowed to the audience. Everyone clapped and clapped until the lights came back.

I enjoyed every part and every song they sang, it was a such a great performance.








Cats


A few students from Scared Heart earned the opportunity to watch a musical theatre, called 'Cats'. The play was full of cats and cats and more cats! The play started off with a cheerful song with cats dancing and leaping around. Throughout the play, all the cats were singing. One of the cats narrated the story by singing. A few cats were quite acrobatic and they told us more about cats. Jellicle cats, Curious cats, Glamour cats, and much more.

Since it was a musical, there were tons of singing. It was a remarkable play, and I didn't imagine high school students performing a hard play.  It looks like the students practised a lot of gymnastics and they obviously put a lot of hard work in to this theatre. They probably practised so much, they weren't afraid of anything going wrong. The cats were energetic and there were a few surprising notes in the composed music. It made some people smile and flinch. 

I would thank the kind people who gave us these tickets a million times over. There were some cats that sang like people in an opera. They hit the high pitch notes beautifully. They proved that the saying 'practice makes perfect' is right. The spotlights were at people who are doing solos. They did a few tricks. Overall, the musical theatre was fantastic and breathtaking.

Square number 2 completed

Jayda has completed our second square and others are frantically knitting!



Drama lesson



I was so thrilled my heart was pounding so fast I couldn't control it, it was drama and we were already inside the hall waiting for them. When I see both of them I knew the very minute they were great teachers. The first topic was about learning more about my classmates than what we already know about them, it was more like musical chairs but without the music, our class each got fruit names like apple, strawberry, blueberry or banana, when our fruit names were called out we had to find another chair that wasn't the chair we were sitting on before. After the game we learnt how to breathe quietly to calm our hearts when we're scared, worried, shocked or even humiliated, it wasn't that hard to do but you needed to be very cooperative and silent to ease your pressure. When we all got the hang of it we all did a play about a cavemen being closely captured by a saber-toothed tiger/bear. Unfortunately some were't able to perform it in front of the class like me and Phoebe, but at least we could still do it next week with the others. I had a fantastic and awesome time there I didn't even feel worried about attending there anymore

Dance alarm



This term we have changed our morning routine, from running to Jump Jam.
We follow the instructions from the interactive white board and dance to various songs. 

 I think everyone in the class enjoys the fitness from Jump Jam each day we try to do our best at it.
Some people would be stoping from embarrassment and some would be rocking it.  As we continue our Jump Jam we hope to get better at the songs, memorise the moves and improve  our fitness.

Everyone seems to be enjoying it, though some may think its troublesome. But some day they will think that it's fun.
