Twelfth Night is a Shakespearian play about twins who were separated in a storm. One of the twins dresses up as a guy and works for a Duke. I saw it in the Abbey Theatre and I absolutely loved it. At first it may have seemed odd that all the characters were played by girls but it didn’t dim the performance one bit. The use of the actual original script was very well done so that we could still understand it. I highly recommend it as it is a very good play done by a group of very good actors.

Year 10 Moby Today we will be creating our very own Moby style pieces. To do this you will need to follow the link below and enter your username and password that you will have just been given. Here is the link for Soundation: https://soundation4education.com/beaumont/gcse-2015-17 Once you are in you will now need to use the files in the shared area. Find them in: Central Resources > Pupil Area > Music > Year 10 > Moby Files        To add the files into Soundation you must go to: File > Import Audio.  Make sure you focus on adding the FX to the samples. You may want to add in some loops underneath. The key of the samples which I have used is B minor and the BPM is 118. We will listen to some at the end of the lesson! Mr A

Kaja Bruce visited a photography exhibition in Brighton by Simon Roberts, and here's what she thought of it... On the 18 th February 2016, I went to see “Pierdom”, a photography exhibition on the piers of Brighton by Simon Roberts in the Brighton Pavilion Museum. The exhibition went on from the 3 rd of October 2015 to the 21 st of February 2016, and the pictures were taken by a 4x5” field camera. The exhibition explored the story of Britain’s relationship to the seaside – specifically the piers – from the early links with artists such as J.M.W Turner, to the technological advancement of the industrial revolution. The camera he used was one similar to the photographic technology from the Victorian era, which creates a link to the historical significance of piers in British History. In the exhibition, there were about 20 detailed and well-crafted pictures; however he did take more which can be found in his book. If you looked clos...
