Week 10 Term 2

This term has gone by really fast! I haven't posted since production. That went really well by the way. It wasn't that nerve-racking because with all the lights in your faces you couldn't see the audience.
I have done a lot of maths since then. We've just finished area, perimeter and volume.
To find the volume of a cylinder/cylindrical shape you first find the area of the shape on the side,  so if it was a circle that would be the radius squared times pi, then you multiply that by the length. I've done lots of other problems too, like how to find the cost of this if there's all of this stuff to buy etc, but mostly it's just finding area, which is base times height, or if it's a right-angled triangle it's base times height divided by two, triangle is base times half the height, circle is pi times radius squared, and the trapezium is the average of the top and bottom times height. The volume of any 3D shape I've come across these past few weeks is area of end times length. I don't know how to find the area of a sphere though, and what about 4D shapes? Like tesseracts and the like. I wonder how to find the volume of those. Come to think of it, I've never heard of them having a volume before.
Speeches are next term. I think I have a good speech topic and I can write a good speech, mostly. I don't like saying it in front of people though.

Production

It's about halfway through term two and one of the big things coming up is Production; it's going to be big! Apparently heaps of people from primary schools in the area are coming to the matinee, and we are expecting big crowds. We've had the poster competition and now there are lots of posters around the school advertising tickets. And it's really coming together, too.
We haven't got it perfected yet, but it's working. We have really good singers, and I think it's going to be pretty exiting. I haven't been in a production for two years, and this one is much bigger. I had a bigger part last time though.

I think the plot is a bit too complex though; I saw the video for the previous one and I wasn't sure what was going on then. Maybe that was because I couldn't hear half the lines, but still. So I'm just wondering if the audience, especially the primary kids, will actually be able to follow why this is happening and they are talking about that etc etc. Maybe people will talk really loud and we won't have to worry, but still. It is a more complicated plot than any of the productions I've seen or been in, which is about 13.

But overall, I think it's going to all come together and it's going to be great, and I would like to encourage anyone in the area to come and see it.
