Hobbies

My hobbies are dancing and gymnastics.

You don’t have to be flexible to dance but for gymnastics you do. The Olympic gymnasts are really good - I’m not as good as them yet!

I practise dancing at the Clair Phillips School of Dance in Portsmouth. There are lessons on a Monday but I go on Wednesdays and also on Thursdays. I love the dance school because my teacher is very funny.She makes us all laugh.

ICARLY

ICarly is a brilliant show.

ICarly is an American children's television series that focuses on a girl named Carly Shay. Carly creates her own web show called ICarly with her best friends Sam and Freddie. The series stars Miranda Cosgrove as Carly, Jennette McCurdy as Sam, Nathan Kress as Freddie and Jerry Trainor as Spencer and was created by Dan Schneider, who also serves as executive producer. The show is taped at Nickelodeon On Sunset in Hollywood. The show first showed on Nickelodeon on 8 September 2007.

This is a great show because it is about a girl in her teens and it is brilliant for girls who are slightly younger than this.

Adele

Adele is a very beautiful and talented singer. She is 22 and is from Tottenham, London, England. She is a fantastic singer and I love her. She has had two CDs out. Her first was called 19 and her current one is called 21. It even reached number 1 in the UK! My favourite song by Adele is ‘Rolling in the Deep’ which I absolutely love because it’s really catchy. Adele won two Grammy Awards, Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, at the 51st Grammy Awards. You should definitely buy her album because she’s great!

Blue Screen/Green Screen filming

Blue Screen or Green Screen filming is where you act in front of the screen whilst someone is filming you. In case you didn’t know, blue screen filming and green screen filming are exactly the same apart from the colour of the screen. You hook the camera up to the computer so you can put the film on to Windows Movie Maker. All you have to do then is connect a photo or short clip to the clip that you made. You may need an adult who knows a lot to do with computers to help you along with the process! Our class in Year 6 have been doing this in class. Have a look at some of the clips we made:

We had to do them on our favourite events after the war and my group chose to do the one on Princess Diana’s wedding. Check them out!
