Mullingar!

Finally we got to preform our drama and surprisingly it went great and I was so happy with everyones preformence! Our group had so many disasters and changes throughout the time we were told we had to do this but eventually we came up with the idea of doing the poem Tich Miller by Wendy Cope. Vicky Played Tich and she was great! Then Niamh played Tubby ( i know shes not tubby) but she played the part so well, Anita Claire Shannen and Brona played the parts of the bullies,Leah was the teacher, Helen Emma And Aisling were the Hockey kids :) and i was the narrator :) it was so much fun and after all the freaking out and mind changing it was actually such a success! Thanks to Mrs Guilfoyle for all the effort she put in!
Thats all for now,

Drama Drama Drama :)

Your prob thinking of drama that happened right? No this week were so busy doing our drama for English.On the 24th of Jan. we are going over to Mullingar to a drama competion, we are basing ours on a war poem called Tainted Beauty and its actually really fun to do. My role in the drama is i read out the verses with anita while others act it out. We are emphising the fact that everyday is a war in some peoples life. Here is the poem we are doing it on...

As were creeping through the bushes,
I hear the sounds of this forbidden land,
My heart beats hard against my chest,
My palms are sweating on the weapon in my hand,

There's a rustle in the bushes,
My secret human prey,
I grip my gun a bit tighter,
I will kill a man today,

My fingers on the trigger,
He walks foolishly closer to me,
I aim the gun and fire,
He is shot and killed mercilessly,

The rest of my troop gathers round,
We know the battle has just begun,
I crouch, cocked and loaded,
I sit there silently with my gun,

A new parade of men,
Attempt to carefully sneak by,
We quickly open fire,
These men fear for their lives,

The bushes are quiet now,
There is a wretched smell of death,
Bloody bodies surround me,
There are no men left,

My conscious starts to taunt me,
I feel a weight upon my chest,
Ive taken the lives of people tonight,
My heart stings with regret,

This war will soon be over,
The survivors may reenlist,
So many bodies to be removed,
What good has come from this?
