Candles for Christmas – Poetry

The Biggies haves been writing poems about candlelight. We watch candles burn and made a list of great words to use. Then we wrote poems in one of several forms: Lunes, Haiku or Kennings.

Straw and order is a play set in a court room. The donkeys that live in the stable which the baby Jesus was born in and the cows that live in the same stable are accusing each other for inviting people to they’re peaceful stable when nobody invited anyone. The judge, judge grumps and the narrator leave the court room and go back in time, only by a day but to see what happened before Jesus was born and see Jesus be born.

In this play the school had a few challenges ahead of us, we had to do harmonies in some of the songs. We have never done harmonies so it was quite difficult for us but we got the hang of it by the end. We had to use quite a lot of expression to make the funny bits funny, we had to project our voices and not speak too fast, we had to also dance a lot. I learned how to do all of these things just from a show which is amazing.

It was really fun and it worked out fine in the end, thankfully. Everybody done so well and it was so nice to be part of.

THE END
