After school clubs:- Performing Arts

The focus this afternoon was to think about the ten most important aspects of giving a stage performance and what to consider when 'it's a scary story.' Miss Reynolds listed the groups ideas onto the board. Some of the ideas included the importance of facial awareness, voice projection, keeping the audience engaged and body language.  They then discussed which they thought were the most important, this led to some debate, as to how the list should be ordered.  In a large circle the group then put these ideas into practise as they each took a turn to act out or describe a story about a 'haunted house.' 

After school club:- Cookery

This afternoon the cookery club were making 'French Bread Pizza'. Firstly the group worked together to create a tomato base. To do this they used pessata tomato, mixed with tomato purée, then added some garlic powder. After choosing from a variety of toppings including Mozzarella, Ham, Sweetcorn, Pepperoni and baby plum tomatoes. The chefs then got to work on slicing and chopping their chosen toppings. The tomato base was spread onto the French bread slice and then it was time to add the toppings, which they all managed to do in creative, eye catching ways. Once cooked the chefs then sat down to share a taster of pizza. The aroma as everyone agreed was fantastic and the taste delicious!
