Drama

I have been going to Little Chalfont Drama Workshop for nearly three years now and am really enjoying it. I have done three LAMDA ( The London Academy of  Music and Dramatic arts) exams now. The first exam was grade three, I had to say two poems,I chose "The Bongaloo" by Spike Milligan and "The Park" by Lenard Clark, which I had to  learn and answer questions about . For this exam I got Distinction, the second highest mark. In the same year I performed in a play the workshop did in The Elgiva Theatre, Chesham                                                           .

My second exam was my Grade 4 for this I had to learn "The scorpion" by Roald Dahl and an extract from "Flour Babies" by Anne Fine then recite them to the examiner. I also had to answer some questions about the two pieces. I also had to sight read a piece of prose ( an extract from a story.) For this exam I got pass the lowest grade

My third exam was my grade 5 again I had to learn an extract from a book which I chose "Black Beauty" by Anne Sewell my second piece was a poem called "Old Mrs. Thing-um-e-bob" by Charles Causley and sight read a new piece I had never seen before. For this exam I got Distinction. 

Kite flying 

Unlike some people I like it when it is windy because I like to fly my dad's kite (wind foil) a 2.2 meter and has two strings. I have been flying kites for 2 years when my dad first got into flying kites. My dad has an even bigger kite which is 3 meters and has four strings. I very rarely fly this kite because it is so powerful!!  Below are some picture of me in action:        

 

On Dear not one of my good moments!

I'm better without the buggy!

Ah that's better!
