Pota-tools ( BI0o0o0o00o0o0o0)

 In bio, we've been learning about Dispersal and cultural evolution of Hominins. As shown below we are looking at the ways Homins made stone tools back millions of years ago. Instead of Stone, we used Potatoes to make the Potat-tools. We did the same techniques as they did millions of years ago ( like how many strikes they did to make these tools) HERE is me work:)

Homo naledi - BIO0O0

‘Homo naledi, your recently discovered human relative’

By Lisa Hendry

This article is about a new species that was found in 2013 in a South African cave on a site that is about 40 kilometres from Johannesburg.  A palaeoanthropologist named Lee Berger assembled his team to come with and excavate bones down in the cave, they managed to recover more than 1,500 fossils of bones belonging to at least 15 individuals, ranging from elderly back down to infants. These species displayed a lot of unique combinations of non-human and human traits throughout the skeleton. Prof Stringer says explains that ‘ some of the Homo naledi’s features, such as its hands, wrist and feet, are very similar to those of modern human and Neanderthals. Although there were some more primitive, some species have small brains and the shape of their upper torso was more robust and more ape-like. There was also some discovering that their finger bones were more curved and that their hip joint was most closely reassembled to australopithecines and Homo habilis. The teeth got small at the front but towards the back of the mouth, it increased in size, which they also had light jawbones. Naledi’s anatomy suggests that they walked on two legs but they also had the ability to climb and hang off trees ape-like.

Me solos :P (MUS-HACK) (Part 1 : Musical Theater and Collection)

 YO YO YO, I'm back with me bloggies for the year, topic music. Musical Theather night is coming up in term 2, that's something I'm looking forward to :). I've decided to 2 musical solos to perform for the night, then for the other solos, I'm thinking about making them some pop songs or something later on in the year. 

First solo; I can hear the bells - Hairspray ~

A little bit about it:
In 1960s Baltimore, dance-loving teen Tracy Turnblad (Nikki Blonsky) auditions for a spot on "The Corny Collins Show" and wins. She becomes an overnight celebrity, a trendsetter in dance, fun and fashion. Perhaps her new status as a teen sensation is enough to topple Corny's reigning dance queen and bring racial integration to the show.

My scene:
The scene I'll be performing is about Tracy bumping into this hot guy (Link) from her favour tv show " The Corny Collins Show' in which he happens to go to the same school as her. When he bumps into her she has this vision and dream and is really love-struck, shes talking to her Best friend Penny in this scene and makes use of people around her.

How will I perform this:
My aim for this is to have the dialogue of him (Link) and I bump into each other on stage, he says his dialogue then me love struck in the middle of the stage, he leaves, Penny enters .... she says her dialogue then the song will begin. How'll play Tracy in this scene is acting love stuck , and determined that I will win Links, heart.

Second Solo; Nothings gonna harm you - Sweeney Todd~ 


A little bit about it:
Evil Judge Turpin (Alan Rickman) lusts for the beautiful wife of a London barber (Johnny Depp) and transports him to Australia for a crime he did not commit. Returning after 15 years and calling himself Sweeney Todd, the now-mad man vows revenge, applying his razor to unlucky customers and shuttling the bodies down to Mrs Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), who uses them in her meat-pie shop. Though many falls to his blade, he will not be satisfied until he slits Turpin's throat.

My scene:
The scene I'll be performing is me being the kid named Tobias (referred to as toby) ( toby is abused by Turpin, till Turpin gets murdered then Toby lives with Todd and Mrs Lovvett) and he tries talking to Mrs Lovett about if someone hurts her such as Mr Todd then he'll get rid of him because Toby has suspicions about Todd being a bad guy and looks to Mrs Lovett to be a mother figure to him. In this song, he basically sings about he'll willing to do anything so that Mr Lovett isn't hurt.

How will I perform this:
There will be dialogue, setting: Me and the person that will play Mr Lovett in my scene we will be sitting on a couch at first, then towards the middle, there is dialogue where I and Lovett will stand up move to a different area. sing some more, then she will comfort me to the couch where she will hug and hold me ( more singing in this bit). How I'll portray Toby is being a small little boy vibe where they will try and be the man of the house even though he is young, have the determined to do anything in the world kinda vibe.
