Half term is over....

First week back after half term and we continue with our production. The sponsorship had organised a cup cake sale, it wasn't the most organised sale but it still went ahead. They asked for others to help so me and Sammy went around the canteens and front of the reception, we sold everything we had which consisted of 3 packets of cakes and one tub of cookies; we managed to make a lot of money.

Me and Hannah have been trying to get this logo for weeks, we have been able to get a post 16 student to design the logo and to design our jumpers, unfortunately even with lots and lots of nagging day after day we still haven't got it. Ben (the post 16 student) has designed and finished everything,  He has emailed them over but it hasn't come through so we have worked on it throughout today and are trying to get it for tomorrow. Mr Collins has emailed him and as soon as Ben emails back it will be transferred into a folder. This will enable us to send the design to get the jumpers and will allow us to continue with everything else. Me and Hannah haven't stopped reminding him which I feel bad about, but we will get it eventually.

Monday we started a new dance with Jodi, it is about refugees having no choice but to leave home to go to the refugee camps. They want to leave because of war but they don't want to leave their homes, family and friends; they don't know how long they will be away from them or whether they will even see them again. 

Today we carried on with the same dance but got asked to bring in suitcases, it was a good challenge as I couldn't say that I've dance with a suitcase before! We labelled ourselves A,B, and C. A's did the solos about wanting to leave, B's were the ones that didn't want to leave and did a duet with C's who were the ones who wanted to compromise. It was a fun lesson and I learnt a lot. We then got into pairs and danced  in front of each other to get constructive criticism. My feed back was to use more elevation. There are still lots of improvements I can make, I will take the comments on board and  just keep working on these aspects.

We then spent 45 minutes working on our small group work. Unfortunately we were missing someone which was disappointing but we went over it without the music, worked out the counts and movement. We then performed it to the rest of the class which wasn't the best but now we know what we can work on.
