JK's
The children are really beginning to understand that we are going to be performing for parents and friends on stage. There are several surprises in store. We still need to work on our positions for our production pieces, but the singing is coming along.
Parents - please remember to dress your children in something for summer.
The following will need additional props:
Anastasia - will need a small swaddled doll (male looking) and please dress in blue
Krythia - will need a straw hat and sunglasses
SK's
We are practising and rehearsing for our Christmas concert. We managed to get up on stage again and sing with actions.
Parents - please wrap a small empty box and bring it to school. It is needed for the concert. Thank you to the parent who has already done this.
Thank you to our parent volunteer S.L.
Grades 1 and 2
We were up on stage singing and reciting. The size of the auditorium is overwhelming us a little. We need to focus on speaking loudly, clearly, and slowly, taking breaths.
Parents please go over the Christmas carol and the parts of the poem your children need to memorize.
Reindeer antlers are on sale at Party Packagers for $0.74 - please acquire a pair for your child.
The following children DO NOT NEED ANTLERS:
Abel - a Santa Claus outfit will be needed. Please check with Mrs. Nelson or me if you are having trouble finding a costume.
Klara - mouse ears and a tail will be required
Grades 3 and 4
We practised and performed our short production for Mrs. Haag. It was tough to do as we are still slightly overwhelmed by the stage. We learned about the importance of taking our cue without prompting, standing still, speaking loudly, projecting our voices, and learning our lines and what they are to convey.
Tests will be returned shortly.
Next class we will begin working on our Christmas production. We have a short time in which to learn more lines and find our positions. No time to rest!
Grades 5, 6, and 7
We practised the play, discussed costumes, and promised to memorize our lines for next Wednesday. Let's hope!
Thank you to Mrs. K for your help with line reading.
TSofRandJ Cast Members
I am getting worried. We are only just starting to know where to go - please pay more attention to your cues. I will not be directing when you are performing. You have just over a week left to get this right.
Costumes will be discussed below the blog posting, below the props.
Unfortunately our Friday extra rehearsal was cancelled.
The dance has been completed and we must now make sure the Grade 4's will learn it quickly.
There will be a special meeting of Ninjas next Wednesday during class.
Ninjas you are: Paul, Adil, Rory, and Jude, who is in charge. Your costume will be to dress in black - forget the jeans (unless they're black) and forget the coloured T-shirts. All black please! If you have a cap, baseball or other, please bring that to next class.
See below this blog for props and costumes!
Best Regards,
Mrs. Deras
