Bugsy Malone // Putting Pieces Together 🎭

Today we ran through the whole play for the first time. It was a lot of fun but a little confusing when there were a lot of people on stage at the same time. What we need to fix is coming on and off the stage more smoothly and getting on stage quicker. Also we need to be more quiet when people are talking on the stage. Apart from that this really helped me because I got to run through my character "Babyface" part for the first time today, and honestly it is so cool. I can't wait for next week when we get real pies and are all dressed up. I have a great feeling that Busgy Malone will be a success! Hope we catch you there!

Dear Emma 🗝

Dear Emma:

Hello, my name is Alesha and I'm 13 years old and I go to Hornby High School. I don't mind blogging and I am learning a lot in Cybersmart. My class (8TS) and 8Bh are doing Cybersmart together and are going to do the Summer Learning Journey together. The teachers have shown us how the journey can help kids with there learning, including improvement over the summer holidays. I think the winner wins a chromebook because they did all that blogging on their chromebook, that they should win a chromebook.... also for learning purposes. What I would do with the $50 if I won would be probably Clothes, Food (Shout ya mates), Maybe even donate it to charity! I'm sure I would have more ideas but I hope the journey will go well!

Yours Sincerely, Alesha
 

Bugsy Malone // Custard Pie // DRAMA

For the custard pie scene, I think we should have everyone come on stage and start fighting but have some key scenes to make the audience laugh. I think we shouldn't have it too crowded on stage but to have everyone on at the same time. Maybe people could slip over, pick some pie off the floor and put it in someone else face. This scene would be the most funniest, and messiest scene that I'm so excited for. I can't wait, so that's the check in for now!

Bugsy Malone // Auditioning Line

 As you may know if you have been keeping up with my Bugsy Malone posts, I am going to do a Karate Routine for my fake audition for the musical. What I have planned to do is a carter (routine), followed with sticks and maybe some extra moves. I'm still deciding but I'm so excited for this Musical it's going to be so much fun! So that's my mini check in for my routine and I promise to keep everyone updated. See you later!

Summer Learning // Task 1 , Activity 1 //

For Cybersmart today we joined the Summer Learning Programme. As always our lovely teacher who teaches another year 8 class (she teaches us Cybersmart) Miss Birtch gave us a task to do about a country which was listed on the TV screen.  As soon as I saw Canada I was so happy because Canada is my favourite county, anyways below is my work for answering the questions about the capital of Canada (Ottawa). Hope You Enjoy :) 

                          

Passion Projects 2018

Yesterday was such an amazing day! It was the start of Passion Projects which you can choose what you want to do for the rest of the year. I chose Musical Theatre because I love being on stage, since I want to become a actress when I'm older. I am going to audition for the two characters Fat Sam who is the main character I want to get or if I don't get him I am going to try for Leroy the boxer. The reason why I want Fat Sam from Bugsy Malone is because the character reminds me of someone from a film and because I can connect with the character. The reason why my second choice is Leroy is because he is a boxer and I do karate so I have experience. I can't wait for auditions but I'm super nervous, wish me luck!

How To Stay Safe With 5 Tips

A Blog Post A Day Will Keep The Teacher Away!

So, today 8TS and 8BH were having another Cybersmart lesson in the Learning Commons who was taken by the wonderful teach Miss Birtch. We were working on how to get better results for our google searches so we can get what information we needed. The reason why we were learning about this is so we can get better at searching things on the internet for what we wanted/needed it for. It will especially come in handy when we are at high school and need to research something for our credits that we need. It will help us with our blogging so we can share information with viewers and so we can narrow down what information we want to put on our blog. 

Own Task- Drama

I'm Interested In doing my own task in Drama because I would express myself how I want too with my friends. I will learn about the process of how people make movies / dances. I will create this by using everyone's ideas and not leaving anyone out. When the final product is done I will share this by recording it and posting it on my blog and sharing it to my teacher. This is going to be a fun term!

Plan To Success;

The plan is simple Kasey who is a great dancer in our group is going to choreograph a dance with our other friend Lorelei. Kalim who doesn't like being in front of the camera much is going to be the one recording everything that is happening. I'm going to be playing In My Blood by Shawn Mendes on the piano for the dancers to dance too. Last we are sure to be doing a little bit of acting for a wrap up of the dance and to explain it well. I feel like this is going to go well, I'm hoping for around a five minute video so people don't get bored. This is going to be a lot of fun!  

A Basketball A Day Will Keep The Doctor Away

Question: If you stacked $20 bills until you reached $1 million, would the stack be higher than the rim of a basketball hoop?

Answer: I'm sure that it wouldn't reach the rim of a hoop because from the rim of a basketball hoop to the ground is 10 meters. Where if you had 50,000 Twenty Dollar notes and stacked it beneath a hoop it would only reach 2.15 Inches. So the answer to the question is No, it wouldn't.

Different Performances 🎞️

Through out the world there are many different acts / performances. They can be funny, sad, happy or even scary. Performances take a while to prepare for and get everything right and all ready to go, so you have to put a lot of hard work into it.  

~Examples Of Performances~

•ONE•

»CONCERT«
Artist through out the world, go on tour from different country, to country. They play a lot of songs for the audience and even have a lot of nice or even cool lights that spread all across the arena. They reason why a concert is a performance is because there is a singer/s and an audience.

 

(Shawn Mendes Performing) 

•TWO•

»MOVIE«

Movies are a popular one because you have to film it but the cool thing is that they get turned into plays, like Harry Potter. Harry Potter is one of my favourite movie series, and it's cool because it's a whole adventure! Anyways it is a performance because you show it to an audience. 

(Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter)

•THREE•

»DANCE«

Dancing is an act as well. You can express your emotions to the audience and do some pretty cool moves.

             
                          (Girls from Dance Moms performing, Amber Alert Dance)
                                                                                                                            •FOUR•
                                                                       »Combined Things «

Magcon is a bunch of viner boys, who form a group to entertain their fans / meet them.

Music Skills

Music Skills

~

Keyboard / Piano 

For two weeks my class has been taking music, and we have been learning how to play the keyboard.  

On the keyboard me and partner Kasey learnt how to play ' Castle On The Hill ' By Ed Sheeran. 

I enjoyed learning new skills and to just be able to use a keyboard again. 

What I found challenging is really nothing, but probably not messing up the notes.

~
Guitar 
Guitar was hard but not that hard, because I had already played it before. Expect I have to admit that the Piano was way easier to learn, because it was labelled and you didn't really have to physically do stuff like you would do with the Guitar.

My Questions

-Who made blogger?

: The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.

Roald Dahl : Danny The Champion Of The World 📙

My Prediction Of The Story: 

I'm pretty sure the main character of the story is Danny, because its in the title. From the information in the book it looks like Danny and his dad goes out hunting birds. 

-

After Reading Two Chapters:

To be honest it didn't really say much about what I predicted. The story was only the opening and was talking about The BFG. Maybe I will be right as the story goes on?

Logo Designs Black & White

I like this logo design because it shows what the word says. I really like how the skateboard is turned into a infinity sign. Very creative.








This logo (USB) has been really thought through. I like it a lot because it shows the product and the name. To be honest, this is the best out of all of them.

                                                 Types of Logos:

                                                       The Symbol (Nike Logo)

                                                       The Emblem (Starbucks)

                                                      The Combination (Adidas)

Flight -2 Aerodynamics

Aim: To look at the four main forces at flying and how these can be overcome.

Hypothesis: I thought that the paper would fly longer.

Method: Working in pairs you are going to make a paper wing and experiment with it.

1. Make a paper wing out of A4 paper 
2. On the field you will need to record and observe how 5 different changes affect the way it flies.

Plane type	How does it behave?	Time ( secs)
Paper sheet, drop	whirls .	2s 97
Paper with fold down middle, drop	drop & glides	1s 53
Paper with fold and 1 paper clip, drop	glides	2s 62
Fold, 2 clips, rudder, drop	drops	1s 78
Fold, 2 clips, rudder throw	sinks	2s 05

Findings: The sheet always landed on the floor around about 1-2 seconds every time. 

Conclusion: The normal paper sheet lasted the longest.

Flight. -1

Definitions:

Lift: The air pressure is greater underneath the wing then above and the aircraft / bird flies.
Drag: The force then effects the speed of aircraft / bird, It can slow it down.
Thrust: The forward movement of an aircraft / bird.
Gravity / Weight: The downward force of an object when it is above the earth.
Aerofoil: The shape of the wing on aeroplanes and some birds.
Bernoulli Effect: When a wing is in the shape of an aerofoil the pressure builds up underneath it and it beings to lift up the aeroplane.

Activity 1: Q: Your challenge is to hold a rectangular piece of paper close to your mouth, blow across the top of it and get the paper to move down. Sounds simple enough but give it a go and see if you change your mind.
A: If you blow on top of a piece of paper it will rise but it won't stay. This is also known as Bernoulli Effect. 

Activity 2: Q: Try and make a piece of paper into a simple bridge and get the bridge to rise up by blowing under 
it.
A:When you make a piece of paper a simple bridge and blow underneath it, the pressure would build up and let it rise. 

"What The Hell Is Yeast?"

So this week we got to do some free writing. I wanted to write about my idol but didn't want too because I didn't have any great idea's for a story. Then it came to mind that I should write about what my idol has said. See if you can guess him, he said "What the hell is yeast?" If you guessed Shawn Mendes then you are right! Then I came up with a plot but still didn't know where the story would of been set. So I decided to grab a writing picture. I ended up with a supermarket picture. I hope you like my story and also below is the picture!

(P.S. This is a made up story I do really know what yeast is haha have fun reading it because it maybe a little silly)
