Term Pressure Building!!! Callum

Hi Everyone,
I hope that in my last blog you realised I was not on holiday in Tanzania! Otherwise it would be really stressful coming from a relaxing holiday into a school production, a drama club production and preparations for our ODC sharing evening!

First I'll explain about the productions.
Our school production, The River (as you have probably seen in every other blog) is quite big, as everyone in the school(200 pupils), are taking part somehow.I am the "Professor Wise" who is an owl. I play a double act with Jordan who is Morepork. The director, Mr Simons says its supposed to be like "Morecambe and Wise"!The point of our act is to explain "turbo-surfing" to the humans. The thing I don't like, though, is the fact that because we are using the Saint Matthews Collegiate Hall, we don't get to use lighting. Extremely Unprofessional!

The drama club I am part of is Harlequin Theatre. They have a range of people from 7 years old. The production Harlequin Juniour( the specific division of the club I am part of) are doing, is called "Toad of Toad Hall", based on the "Wind in the Willows" book by Kenneth Grahame. In it I am the Chief Ferret. Chief Ferret is a mean character, and a minion to the even more evil, Chief Weasel. This production has professional lighting, sound, stage and props.

The ODC sharing evening is an annual non-optional activity. Each student must find their passion then present a study on it to share with the community in week 10 at the Lakeview school hall. My study is on Graphic Design.
