Hedgehogs are Back!

As you already know, the hedgehogs are back. We set up Hedge - Alert and were surprised that they came back on the first night that we'd put peanut butter out. The first Hedgehog we saw was Hedgy. He's grown (I think). Ashlynn and I each had a friend over for the night and so they got to pet Hedgy. He's so cute.



Every night I put out the peanut butter (we decided that they don't really like bread) and set up Hedge - Alert. In the morning we see if any have come. Usually there are at least 2 or 3 visits per night. WE LOVE OUR HEDGEHOGS!

Garden = Farm


Our Garden was turned into a little farm a little while ago. On Wednesday night we saw our first hedgehog!! It was Hedgy! We have turned on Hedge Alert. To find out more about our hedgehogs go to www.hedgealert.blogspot.com. We also had a duck couple staying in our yard! I hoped that they made a nest nearby. 

As well as that we have a bunny living nearby. She doesn't look wild; she is well groomed. Having hedgehogs is a good thing (they eat slugs), but having a bunny is not so great. She is digging in our garden, she dug up some of our mint and ate one of our radishes! Oh well.

Red Dress Hash

Once again we did the red dress run with the Hash, where we run through the center of town and act like complete bozozs. This year a couple got interviewed on the Dutch TV. Funny!!

Prize Giving

The night after Shakespeare Shorts was another late night for Ashlynn and I. It was the Year 8, 9, and 10 Prize Giving. I had won an award for 'Outstanding Achievements' . It was quite a nice ceremony and the guest speaker was funny. I won a Thesaurus!!? (A bit weird eh?) It's a coincidence because David got the same prize as I did, except for he got it for Y9. Well, anyway. The exams are mostly over. I only have my French writing to do. I got good marks for every thing - Outstanding Achievements!!?

Our Underwear (Oops, I mean shorts!!)

Over the last few months a few of my friends and I worked on a short part from one of Shakespeare's plays, Twelfth Night. We choose the scene where Sir Toby and Fabien try to convince Viola/Cesario that Sir Andrew is a great fighter and try to convince Sir Andrew that Cesario is also. It is was funny.

Lily played Viola (A girl dressed as a boy)
Ma'ayan played Fabien - She dressed up as a Biker Dudess
I played Sir Toby - I was a Hippie!

Me trying to convince Kelly (Sir Andrew) that Viola was a horrible fighter.


Ma'ayan and I laughing at Lili.

Kelly played Sir Andrew - She was a Punk!

The Sword fight at the end of the scene was funny.

Shakespeare Shorts

On the evening of the 26th it was Shakespeare Shorts. Kids from any year group could decide if they wanted to put together a small sketch of about 5 minutes. It was a great evening, but as I'd already seen all of the sketches 2 times (in the rehearsals) it was a bit repetitive. It was held in the Marque that was set up on the grounds of our school. It started pretty early, so the lighting was almost all natural. 
Shakespeare's Knickers!

My English teacher (on the right) did a Hilarious sketch with another Drama teacher. 

The witches from McBeth.
