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.

Potted Potter

Potted Potter is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen in my entire life. It is hilariously mad and crazy and it has all seven books in seventy minutes, plus a game of Quidditch!

In this show Jeff, who is the sane and serious expert who plays Harry Potter, performs with Dan, the comical and slightly weird person who plays all the other characters. There is a cupboard to take them to Narnia, a chocolate cake incident, a child who bodyslams Jeff and an adapted version of "I Will Survive" sung by Voldermort. I have never laughed so hard EVER!

Disney World: Animal Kingdom Lodge

I'm sorry that I haven't posted much at the moment, it's because I have just been on the best holiday ever to Orlando in America! I'd never been to America before so the trip was super special for me and Robbie (my brother). For part of our holiday we stayed at The Animal Kingdom Lodge and we certainly weren't disappointed. I've decided to review this hotel and tell the world how fabulous it is so everyone else can enjoy the fantastic experience too...

Temple Run 2

Temple Run 2 is the exciting sequel to Temple Run which you can get from the apple apps store. We got this game on Friday and have been hooked since! The concept is the same as Temple Run - escape from the fearsome monsters with the precious idol. However, this time there are better graphics, fiercer monsters and harder obstacles. There are also zip-wires and go carts.

London Ludo

Hi everyone!
Today I'm reviewing a game with my friend Jonah. For more details, please click here.
The aim of London Ludo is to travel around the board in an iconic London black cab, visiting all of London's famous landmarks as you go. Watch out out for the other players: if they catch you you'll be sent back to the start!

Wordsearch!

Although the concept may sound dreary, Wordsearch is one of the most entertaining and exciting games I know of. More details are on the American Amazon. 

The game works by putting a word-search onto a circular grid, placing a transparent frame over it and securing it in place with a green circle. To play, you have to find a word and the first person to do so puts their colour counters over it. At the end, the player with the most counters wins. Surprisingly, this game is very competitive and very hard. There are many themes for the game, ranging from countries to colours and none of them take a few minutes to complete!
