We had quite a different performance time today.  First, we had Ella from James Hargest Senior Campus come in and show us some dance moves to the song Let Me Entertain You by Robbie Williams, then we had auditions for the Some Things Are Meant To Be soloist.  Nicola said if you don't get a call on Tuesday, you (unfortunately) are not the soloist.

Till next time, adieu!

Have you ever read the book, Little Women by Louisa May Alcott?  We got a new song today, and it is from the new musical (according to Nicola!).   I want to read the book it is based on, I think it sounds interesting.  Do you? We are going to sing it in two parts, we are group one, (Friday), and I am not quite sure which day is doing group two.  

We are also doing Don't Stop Me Now with all the actions that we have learnt.

Till next week, adios!Olivia

Mug shots and fake smiles

"Remember," said Nicola.  "Don't do a fake smile."  Okay, I thought.  Since I wasn't here last week I was going to have to work at super speed.  Oh! I forgot! I wasn't here (at Enrich) last week because a virus is going round.  (According to mum it is a virus, anyway.)  But I  am all better and at Enrich and I will start  talking about learning instead of my health problems. About my title, I was NOT taken to jail, we needed (according to Nicola) to take a mug shot of ourselves for the wall, BUT that was last week so I also had to have a full body photo taken AND sent to Katie for printing in colour.

I will talk to you next week because I am out of things to talk about.

I was soooo nervous when I walked into the battlefield.  I was challenged by a master.
A master of the chess field..... CLARA!

Immediately, I launched into the first moves that Darryn had taught me.  I fought as hard as I could, but Clara won, in the end.

I learnt a valuable lesson that day, NEVER CHALLENGE A CHESS MASTER!!!

 

In your life, 
In your life,
In your life.

We finished singing Maybe Tomorrow, the new song we got today.
I learnt how to learn a song with it only being played three times. Thats right, THREE! T-h-r-e-e, yep, only three!  It isn't that hard, this is how I did it: practice two times with the words in front of you, and then try it without the words. it might or might not work...

We also did cloud watching, well, I did cloud watching.
Did you know that the types of clouds are, Stratocumulus, Cumulonimbus, Stratus, Cumulus, Altocumulus and Cirrus.
I found a...
Cirrus, Stratus, Cumulus and an Altocumulus,

SEE YOU NEXT TIME!

We did solos today in performance and my bit in Like an Eagle is at the start and it goes like this...

And a star will show the way, above the clouds, beyond the sea.

Nicola said when someone is singing a solo you look at hem like they are a ice cream you would like to eat, so when I am singing my solo I get all these people looking at me weirdly....

Till next time, bloggers

Shaking knees

(clapping noise)   I went up to the top step and immediately launched into the monologue that I had been given exactly two weeks ago.  "As the car hit the first dip in the track, it happened,  My dad HURLS!!!"   When I finished Nicola said "Good girl, you just need to speak a little louder".  
We performed the monologues in front of the performance group today.

If I had a magic wand I would make myself NEVER be nervous because when I went on stage I was so nervous that my knees were shaking.

( do you like my glasses?)
