TASK and Links to youtube videos

You are to write a blog post about yesterday's performance of The Lion King. You could talk about:

• How you felt before it - nervous, excited etc
• How you felt during the perfomance, as it was happening.
• How you felt at the end, when all the parents clapped and told you how much they enjoyed it.
• If you were scared before the show, how did that feeling change during and after the show?
• Did you enjoy it?
• Would you do it again?
• Have you learnt anything from it?

If you go here http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXUFYt-4eEMK6gfOTsfH6ZQ, you will be able to see the videos from yesterday's performance of the Lion King uploaded to youtube.

You can use pictures from flickr as well by going here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/71961694@N04/sets/72157634607887948/. Photos of The Lion King and the trapped bird we rescued are ON PAGE 2 (at the bottom of the page)!!

Instructions for Thursday, 25th July

Write a post about The Lion King.

Think and write about....

The rehearsals - how have they gone? Were they tiring, fun, confusing.....?
Learning your lines - was this difficult? Did you understand what you were saying? What is your character like?
Have you enjoyed doing the play? - what do you think about the story and songs? Are they fun to perform? Have you found it easy to act and work with others?
How do you feel about today's performance? - are you excited, nervous, anxious, scared....? Why?

Try to put your words into paragraphs - each time you talk about a new time, place, topic, idea, concept or person, take a new paragraph!

Make sure you have also inserted a photo into it as well.

Student blog of the day...

This has to be Adolfo's Da Dubstep blog.

I currently teach Adolfo (he is about to go into year 10) and had done blogging with them last year. Adolfo has managed to take the skills he learnt last year and develop them into his new blog.

I'm sure you'll agree; the results are outstanding!

Well done Adolfo!

Mr Gibb

As part of English and ICT for the past two weeks, we have been learning about blogging and creating our own. Most pupils have chosen to create their own blogs, with a few choosing to pair up with another pupil. To the right of this post, you will see all the different stundents' blogs.

I have asked Patti to email all the parents of the green group, asking them to visit the pupils' blogs.

If you could please view a few different blogs and leave a comment for them, that would be amazing. It allows pupils to feel that they have a 'real' audience reading their blogs and engaging with what they are saying.

Many thanks for your support,
Mr D Gibb.
