          Alexandra Daddario (Anabbeth Chase); Jake Abel  (Luke Castellan); Douglas Smith (Tyson)

Director : Thor Freudenthal

Synopsis : Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters is a great way of bringing back the excitement and laughs into a much better film than the first in the series (Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief). In the latest film a prophesy says that a child of Zeus, Poseidon or Hades will either destroy or save half-bloods. And after the barrier which protects the half-bloods is broken, Percy, Grover and Annabeth are going on another adventure of a lifetime.

Theatre Tribe - fun at home this summer!

Me, Robert and Emma, who runs Theatre Tribe. Robert is being dramatic!

Many of our friends have spent their time this summer holiday abroad, relaxing in swim-suits by the sea. However, I  went to a drama camp last week in the “cold, miserable” UK and I think I had a better week than they did!

Theatre Tribe is a musical theatre camp which involves auditioning for and rehearsing a show, which you perform to your parents at the end of the week. My brother and I took part in Ma.Til.Da, a twist on the award-winning musical Matilda and we had an amazing time.

I was very pleased to be cast as Miss Honey, and as soon as we received our scripts we immediately started practising. We spent lots of time choreographing dance routines, going over lines and perfecting our singing.

Although every day was full-on and jam-packed with exciting things to do, the worst part of the week were our warm ups. They were extremely long, tiring and difficult, including sit ups, push ups, squats, star jumps and impossibly hard stretches. No one liked them very much.

Despicable me 2

.

Despicable Me 2 is a hilarious film which carries on the clever story from the first film. I liked how they mentioned the first film and they brought in lots of new characters who all had a totally different personality.

My favourite characters were the minions. Even though they were not in it a lot, when they were, they were funny, cute and clumsy. I would recommend this film to every child and early teenagers but I would say to watch the first film before you watch the second one.
