Chookas

It was FANTASTIC to get back into the classroom today with our awesome Chookas students! 

We had fun learning our new physical warm up game - Jumping Jelly Beans before settling in for a presentation of Cinderella performed by students.

This term we will focus on creating characters - using the character students dressed up as at our end of Term One dress up party. 
Homework this week is to come up with a name for their character. 
If they dressed up as a specific named character, students are welcome to keep that given name, or to rename their characters to whatever else they would like.

All of our Drama Classes are named after a term used in the theatre. 

There is a theatre superstition that saying "Good Luck" to someone in the theatre is actually bad luck. 
Because of this people involved in the theatre find other ways to wish someone a good show.

'Chookas'  is theatrical slang used (mainly in Australia) to do this. 

In New Zealand we say "Toi Toi Toi" or more commonly “Break a Leg”.
