Just a reminder that I would like your compositions in on Friday 10th July or before.  You are required to provide the following: - some kind of score (as discussed in lessons) of your composition - a recording (this can be taken from Notion) I would like this submitted by email if possible.  If not, bring it in on a memory stick or something. If your recording is to be taken from Notion, please make this clear on the email.  Some of you have already started to use after school/lunchtime sessions to make up for time so please continue to do so. Look forward to those very much. Ms Doan

On the 14th of March 2015, I went with my sister, my mum and a friend to the Globe Theatre in London to see a production of Shakespeare's Othello.  The show itself was spectacular.  There was live music and instruments playing throughout the play.  I found it amazing how the actors flew down on zip wires.  I think I understood the storyline and found it tragic at the end when Othello realised that Desdemona was innocent and that he had given in to jealousy.  The performance also had a dance at the end.  It was a slow tango which changed into a jive.  The acting really impressed me.  Iago's facial expressions worked well because they shoed the audience that he was not a good person.  They used props very effectively to show what the scene was about.  Overall, I thought it was amazing and I would love to go back to the beautiful Globe theatre.  I have told all my friends how great it was and I have encouraged them to go and see a pla...

When we got into London we decided to take some pictures outside of the theatre, I favourite is the one with me and my dad showing the Matilda background! My cousin was in Matilda sadly he couldn't stay afterwards so he sent me some goodies :) it was really funny and lovely and I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends. Are so many aspects of the whole experience like music, dance, drama, costumes, singing and lighting! My favourite actor is Miss Trunchbull because she's really funny but strict at the same time. I especially like her when she's doing boxing and trampette with all the kids and she's flipping over all over the place. Over all it was a great experience and I'd love to do it all over again :)

Here's one with a twist...Cake International! Cake International  It is almost like an intervention but for 'cake lover'. Many different suppliers set up stalls to teach and sell their products. There also are different international cake/sugarcraft teachers who teach different skills.  I personally went to one of these sessions that's one of the teachers were putting on. They were teaching on how to make animals. It was pretty interesting as you could see the step by step routine within how to make each sculpture.  My thoughts:  I did really enjoy the exhibition yet I did think that it was all a bit deprecated and not unified like I thought it would be. Within the sessions we couldn't interact with the teacher or make make the sugar paste sculptures/ animals along side the teacher.  I really liked the displays and the competition entries. The people I went with said they really loved the variety of styles that were shown. One said...
