The Funky Kids Show 2012!

Oh dear, the ten weeks are up already! It all began in the year 2010, Obama was still the US president, there was still a global recession (again nothing different.) and everyone was wishing it was the 90s again (yet again it’s still the same as now.) However, I was in 4th class that year acting like a mindless idiot (I’ve come a long way since then.) We were doing a show called “The Funky Kids Show” with the wonderful Denis and Olivia. We all had a great time and were sad when it was over, but Denis said in a big loud Austrian accent “I’ll be back!” Flash forward to 2012. Obama’s still in the White House, there’s still a recession and everyone still wishes it was 1999! I had forgotten all about Denis and Olivia’s promise until Mr. Duggan proclaimed “Oh and by the way, The Funky Kids are coming back.” Our reaction went something like this “OOOOH LIVIN ON A PRAYER!!!” On the first day they arrived with warm welcomes (but no chocolate.) This year I was familiar with all the songs (unlike the year before.) The songs included Monster Mash, (which was a graveyard smash) Thriller (which was so good we woke the dead) Two songs from The Sound of Music (which brought the hills to life,) and All the Small Things. We practiced for ten weeks, making costumes and sets along the way. (You will see a montage of it when the movie on my life comes out.) Finally the big night came. We were all set and ready to go. Olivia and some of the girls from last years 6th class did our make up. We looked like a cross between Bloody Mary and that Stupid Death’s Guy from Horrible Histories. Oh well it could have been worse, Mrs Dunphy’s class looked like Oompa-loompas. Edwina and I decided I would pose for Thriller the first night and she the second, which wasn’t such a good idea because the video was being shot the second night. Oh well, she was good too. (But I was better, just don’t tell her I said that!) We sang beautifully. The other rooms were good as well. The Grease songs got stuck in my head, as did Ghostbusters and Bob the Builder and let’s not forget the song about The Poor King. We took the house down with our finale, for that we sang So Long, Farewell from the Sound of Music and All The Small Things by Blinks 108. The actual show ended with me coming out on stage and saying “that’s all folks” like Porky Pig, but the best was yet to come, well for me anyway. Denis and Olivia handed out our certificates and gave me a special mention! They thanked me for making them smile throughout the whole course. So Jamie and I sang the Fr. Quinn song from Mrs. Brown, I thanked Denis and Olivia and went home. Overall, the show was much better than last year, I loved working with Denis and Olivia and I hope to be at the 2014 show (If the world is still there that is!) So one last time, I’d like to say “The- tha- th- thaa-Thaaats all folks!

Funky Kids

Funky Kids has been so much fun! We did one show in 2010 and we had a great time so we can’t wait to have our second show. In funky Kids this year we have to be scary…while the others have to act sweet and cute. We are having so much fun with Denis and Olivia. So far we have finished our t-shirts and our backdrop. Our tshirts are designed with bones and we highlighted the bones to make a cool effect with the lights.Our backdrops are cool too! Ms.Carrol’s room have a cute teddy holding a rattle and its so cute! But some people say the eyes and nose are creepy. Ms.Dunphy’s room have a ghost popping out of a pumpkin and it looks really cool! Our backdrop is quite cool too. We painted a face (not a lot of us know what it is)and we traced our hands and painted them so that it looks like we’re trying to grab him.It was so much fun! Denis and Olivia come every Tuesday to practice our songs and make our t-shirts and so on. They also play fun games with us too! My favourite is winking murder. Our shows are on the 20th and the 21st of March and we are really looking forward to them! And that’s what we do in Funky Kids. I hope you can come to our show!
