Drama !!
Today in Drama, straight away when we came into the classroom, Miss Williams talked with us about the date of our performance which is December the 14th.
Today again Aaliyah was absent which meant when we went through our panto Miss had to play the part of Snow white, and might i say she played it excellently obviously. We went through our play over and over again, first with our scripts and the last couple of times we went through it we went through it without our scripts, I already know all of my lines but I wasn't sure about some of my Ques, but when i did to it it sounded really good. Naomi who plays the Prince and one of the Gnomes played her parts really good, Shyanne did hers amazingly considering shes a narrator i found that she knew almost all of her lines. Shanel played her parts well also, though i did find that Jessica did know her lines though she made a few hiccups, and didn't come in at the right time some of the time.
Miss told us that if Aaliyah doesn't turn up for anymore sessions that she will have to get someone else to play the part of snow white, and to play the seconds on the steel pans.

Today in media I finally finished editing my photos to make as cards. I used the site picnik again, In the end i had three autunm pictures and three winter pictures. This were my finished winter photos:
In this picture i went for a plain blue theme, and i added snow, and added some snow thats built up around the picture. To change the colour i went to effects and went to tint, and the same with the built up snow. Though with the snow all around i went to features and went to holidays where i found the snow app. Lastley i went to text and wrote Season Greetings and put the colour as blue as i thought it went with the picture.
With this picture it started off with it
being really boring and plain and buildings in the background. when i edited this picture firstley i added a tint of blue, but then i realised the green bush at the side looked too plain so i though as its winter i could add dots of red to make it look like berrys and i thought that brought the plant out more. As this is also a winter photo i added the snow app again, i also added text that said Seasons greeings on it and put it in red because i thought it went with atmosphere of the picture. I also realised in the end leaves in winter are all colourless and dryed up and in this picture they look like that.

In this picture, the first thing i thought of again was blue tint, so i added that, and then i added red in some of the black bits of the tree to see what t looked like and it looked ok so i used it. The picture still looked uncomplete so i added the snow app once again, and then added the text which once again said Seasons Greetings and i used the same type of red as i used in the tree.
And these are my autumn photos:
With this picture before i did anything i auto fixed the picture which automatically brightened up the picture. And then i went to boost and as you can see all of the background with the leaves, grass trees, flowers and branches all got boosted to make the colours come out more and i think it looks really nice. After i finished with the boost i did the text and wrote Happy Holidays and colored it red as i thought it went with the background.
This picture is my favourite and it was also the first picture i took. I didnt have to do much to this picture, all i did was auto fix the picture, and add boost. I also added an app that made the picture a little bit more colourful and softened the picture a bit. I added the text and coloured it orangey red to match the leaves and the trees.
I also like this oicture alot, because of all the dfefrent types of flowers and the bits of grass, and the slightest bit of leaves. All i did with this picture was auto fix it and use the boost ap. I also used the same app as my last picture where it softens it slightly and adds ait more colour. With the text i wrote Happyy Holidays and coloured it red because i thought it went with the bits of red on the plants. This pictue was also cropped as before it had a bigger background and had chanel in it. I just thought it looked much better cropped with just the plants.
I really liked how these pictures turned out.

Dance !!
Dance !!
In todays lesson we had another substitute teacher, but this time we carried with our winter project. At first we all went into the library and researched winter because we had to made a bit of our own winter dance, so we had to research anything we wanted about winter that would inspire us in our dance. In our second lesson of dance we went back to our classroom and started on our dances. At first i was confused, and i didnt know what to do but in the end i got with it a bit. Almost at the end of class everyone showed eachother, eachothers dance's. I thought Naomi had the best dance but i still think every did good.

Yesterday in music same as usual we came into lesson and we was playing on the steel pans, we went through our song Winter wonderland a few times, i think I'm really get good on the steel pans, and i almost know winter wonderland off by heart. A few lessons before this one we made a bit of our own song, and yesterday half way through the lesson we started to but our songs together, personally i think its really good. We still need to work on it a lot though.

On Monday we had a little change in dance.
For one we had a new teacher,this is because mrs.Shrubbs broken her ancle so she wont be in for a few weeks, but with our new teacher i thought personally she was really nice and a great dance teacher, and from everybody Else's responses i think they liked her too. We didn't do anything that lesson to with winter. We just had a fun lesson, and miss taught us all a dance to lady gaga, which at first i found it hard but i got to grips with it, In the end i found it really fun.
In the beginning on the lesson Miss did a warm up with us, but it was a warm up i had never done before it was totally different. For the first time i actually had fun doing a warm up, I did loads of things i hadn't done before in a warm up, i can't remember off by hand what we was doing but it was really good that's all i remember.

I had a lot of fun taking these pictures.
The website we used to edit our pictures is called picnik. It has many different effects you can add to your pictures, you can do stuff like add text, make you look orange or any colour you can think of, you can crop the photo, make it bigger or smaller, brighter darker, more colourful or less colourful anything you can think of. I used basic effects with my pictures though i think i made look catchy and nice to look at. Anyone can use this website its really easy.

Drama !!
Last lesson in drama was very interesting.
All the class had a talk, and we all agreed that as we had lost a few of our class mates as they quit diploma, jack and the beanstalk would be the best option for us, so we went though all the other options of plays we could choose from, and we finally picked Snow white. We went through the play a few times to see who would play which role better and who suited it the most. In the end we picked who was going to be who, i am the Evil Queen and one of the Gnomes.

Aaliyah is snow white:

Aaliyah is snow white:
Shenell is the mirror and she also plays one of the Gnomes. Naomi she plays the Prince and also one of the Gnomes, Jessica plays Humphrey and one of the Gnomes, And last but not least Shyanne is the narrator.
Hopefully this time we will be able to stick with this play and do very well when preforming it.
