• AM We cut some shapes to Britannia Highs new
  theme song and boogied to Alpha beat and Wiley.
• Blue group stayed in Performing Arts great hall
  for Picture of you workshop with Adrian and
  Laura. We did the singing warm up with Adrian
  first, then cracked the lyrics and positions. The
  song was quite low but actually easier than we
  thought. Some cheesy boy band style side steps
  and clicks added with the boys on one side and
  girls on the other (obviously B)
  ). Hattie Jago could not stop smiling she was
  great, as was Niall, Ian and Thomas. We did the
  WHOLE song in the 45 min slot and they really
  impressed us!
• Dangerous Reds went with Sammy, Richard, Jess and
  James to do some Gauntlet running. With special
  treasure at the end of the path the running team
  had to avoid the dangerous obstacles of balls
  that had been thrown by the throwing team to
  collect as much treasure as possible before they
  got out. There was some amazing dodging skills
  from Elly Howard.
• Blues went off to get rid of any pent up
  aggression/ stress from standing still for 45
  mins playing diamond rounders, where the bowler
  had a choice of four people who he could bowl the
  ball to. As you can imagine, it got a bit
  confusing! But Niall really got the hang of it,
  showing off both his bowling and batting skills,
  to stay in for the longest amount of time.
  Unfortunately his skills werent enough to
  prevent Natashas team from driving through to
  victory! Well done to all!!
• The Reds came charging through the school back to
  the Performing Arts studio! All launched into our
  song rather impressive start. Mimi and Nick
  really gave it their best shot straight off 0),
  and when the volume was asked to be raised Amelia
  didnt let us down!! Well they were only going to
  do the chorus but they were TOO GOOD! Laura was a
  little emotional!

• PM split for acting v sport. Acting Majority
  stayed to get stuck in to drama activities. We
  began with a few games such as word
  association, follow the leader and change the
  action This got everybody settled and eager to
  move on to the improvisations! Each group were
  given a a song title, a colour and a prop which
  all had to be incorporated within the scene,
  although the prop had to be used as another
  object and the others had to guess the emotion in
  the scene. Juliets group creatively used a pair
  of gold wings as a handbag, whilst Jessica didnt
  shy away from using a small cone as a guitar!!
  This session was great fun, but also amusing to
  see what ideas the kids can come up with
  themselves.
• Sport Adrian, Rich, and James went for what as
  undeniably one of the best sessions of sport all
  week! With action packed games of Dodgeball to
  start, with Richard making a total fool of
  himself as the only helper to get hit when the
  staff were doing the hitting! The football match
  then had absolutely everything you could ever
  wish for There were wild shots, close misses,
  disallowed goals, and own goals, all topped off
  by an absolutely fabulous last play winning goal
  by Niall! Final score 2-1. Come On!!!
