Hansel and Gretel

Today in drama we did small snippets of Hansel and Gretel. Some of the groups put a twist on the fairytale. This is a video of my group's skit that we did. I learnt how to get into character. It was a really fun thing to do and I can't wait for our next drama project.

The Toy Shop On Zip Zap Avenue

This week we had our school production. I was a Jack-In-The-Box, which was a lead role. It was a great success and worth all the hard work. Everyone in the school was involved. it was about a magical toy shop. On the day the show starts a young family come to the shop and purchase a buzzy bee toy. The shopkeeper locks up for the night.  But this shop is magical and the toys come alive at night. Tonight is extra special as they are celebrating the sale of their dear friend Buzz the Bee. Each toy takes turns to perform an item in honour of their friend Buzz the Bee. Then as the sun starts to rise the toys must return to the shelves, so their secret is not discovered. In all the excitement everything is not left as it was the night before. So when the family comes back to purchase another toy... will the shops secret be discovered?

I was really excited about it because we had been practicing for so long. From this experience I learnt that every role is important no matter how small. It was great to have this opportunity within school and I will always remember it as my first production.
