Autumn Term 2007

Ashdown Plays ....
Friday 23 & 25 November  2007

Throughout the term the 5s, 2s, and 1s prepared 3 amazing plays.   This year Mr Moore and Mrs Costin decided to direct the 5s in “The Secret Seven”. Although the 5s only had a very few amount of rehearsals they managed to pull through with a brilliant play.

The 2s play “BOUM BOUM”, was directed by all the French staff, Madame O' Neill, Mrs Branfoot, Mlle Cristine, and Mr Hogue. Although the play was “en francais” the 2s learnt to pronounce their lines quickly and well. On the final nights they put on a great performance.

Finally it came to our play…”Shakespeare without the Boring Bits”. Our play consisted of 4 different parts… Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and King Lear. We all had about two parts each, but some only had one, but then had loads of lines.  My favourite was Romeo and Juliet, it was very funny, and everyone in it acted really well. I was Ghostly Messenger No.3 in Macbeth, Mrs Happy in Henry V and a dancer in King Lear. In the end it was a great play, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

On our first play I felt very nervous.  When it came to my part and I went on all the people were staring at me!  I felt happy and a little nervous, but I made it.  Also the lights were very bright so I almost couldn't see!  I also felt a strange feeling inside.  I think I had butterflies in my tummy.  In fact I wsas so nervous that I thought I had almost forgot my lines!  When the play was over I felt very pleased.  I was glad I made it through without forgetting my lines.

On the 23rd and the 24th we did a play of The Secret Seven like the Famous FIve.  I was one of the main characters, but not one of the Secret Seven.  I was Susie.  I kept playing tricks.  The Secret Seven were Peter, Janet, Colin, Jack, Barbara, George and Pam.  I loved my part in the play and I thought the play was amazing and thank you to Mr Moore and Mrs Costin for setting it up.  Also I was an old lady but I only had one line for that.
