I am very glad that these children have put in their best effort to prepare for today! I am still waiting for the day when P3/5 TRUTH can boast about having 40 Super Spellers. Will we get there? 

As a class, this is how well we did this time:

We started on the topic of money today for Maths by revising how to write different amounts of money in dollars and in cents. During English lesson, we practised reading your drama scripts aloud before heading to the hall for our rehearsal. We will have more rehearsals on Friday. Over the next few days, please keep in mind the following:

1) Memorise your lines. You need to know your lines perfectly well. You will be standing on the stage and performing without anyone telling you what to say or when to say them! Before Friday comes, make sure you know every single line that you are supposed to say.

2) Project your voice. This is for everyone here - whether you are saying certain lines on your own or with a group. The audience need to hear clearly what you are saying. Then, the show will be a good one. You are not loud enough yet.

3) Big actions. Some of you are not bold enough with your actions. You are afraid to act. Don't be! If your role needs you to act angry, be very angry! If it requires you to sway your body, sway it fully! If your actions are not big enough, your audience will not be able to see anything from where they are seated.

4) Posture and position. Remember where you are supposed to put your hands and how you are supposed to stand as you say your lines. Some of you have no problems remembering your lines, but you freeze or put your hands in your pockets once you start speaking.  To make sure you are good at this, practise your actions and lines in front of your mirror. 

I took this photograph of our mealworms before I left the classroom today. Can you tell that some of them have moulted? :)

Don't forget to check your handbook and act on what you have taken down.

Have a blessed evening. See you tomorrow! :)
