Hello, I am the little sister of Lady Mary, she recently got engaged to a man called ‘Mr Fox’; a man I or she knows much about him all she and I know is he lives in a big castle, goes to a pub every week, tall, handsome(as she says.) and very kind. But she said all of his wives before her had died strangely, we spoke to the priest about it- because he was a friend of Mr fox- and he said that he as least had over five wives! Strange.

    I felt very happy for her because she finally met someone! It has been years sense she has actually met a man, or anyone for that matter. It’s nice that she is finally getting out there.

    But I am also worried for her because she just met the man also she does not know him well and all his other wives had DIED! What if she is making the wrong choice, what if this man is not all what he says he is? But I can trust her, I trust she will get to know him before the wedding, if she does not like him she will call the wedding off… hopefully 

All in all I am proud of her, finally getting some wind under her wings and getting out there and meeting people! Well she could have took some time to get to know him properly but it is her choice! 

Expectations In Drama.

Last session we played two cool games to help us understand the rules and expectations of the drama studio; one was called “Traffic Lights” and the other was “lifeboats”. Traffic lights toughed us to listen to simple instructions such as to stop, to sit, to remember where to sit and to pair up with any one, the way sir taught us this was by putting the rules into colours of traffic lights: RED- freeze; AMBER- sit down; GREEN- go. Then sir added more colours and rules to the game such as: BLACK-go to your seat that you were given; WHITE- shake hands with the nearest person. If you did not do these then you were out.  

The next game we played was called “lifeboats” the aim of the game was to make a group with the people that sir yelled out. E.G: ‘ Two girls and three boys’, ‘Everyone from your form’, ‘two boys two girls’ if you did not do these instructions correctly E.G: if sir said ‘ Get into groups of five girls and four boys.’ Then you get into groups of four girls and five boys you lose if you did it correctly and you were the first ones to sit down on the floor you win!
