26th November
We dedicated today's single lesson on songs. Firstly we all sat down as a group and worked out what groups we were working in (depending on who sings with who), then we worked out what Christmas carol we were singing too. After this we all split off in our groups to practice our songs. (Lorna and I went off to learn our song in time with 'once in Royal David city'.
After this we spent the rest of the lesson as a group learning the song during the act where Peter Crouch is crawling across the back wall.
27th November
We used this lesson to continue learning our songs as it appears everyone had trouble with fitting their lyrics to the designated Christmas carol. Like in Mine and Lorna's song, we had a trouble fitting the Lines about 'The Ryder Cup and the 'Australian Open' with the tune of Once in Royal David City. Once we rehearsed the individual songs again we all got together as a group and went through 'I wish' we also began to stage it. We used the 3 spotlights from the children scenes and decided that when a parent has a line in the song they would step into one of the 3 spotlights depending on where they were standing on the stage. When it comes to Mary's Mum's solo, we all split off and Mary's Mum appears from the centre and performs her scene with Narrator's Dad. When they go inside we all come back from each side and start singing, 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas'.
