What activities did we do today?
Today was very different as Frantic Assembly came to visit us and we did a physical activity with them for 2 hours, which was amazing i felt this warmed us up and also gave us a bigger insight of how to use physical theatre in different ways.

What ideas did you/your group come up with?
We had the same initial thoughts as we did last time, but we then started to merge another group into our piece we devised, their piece fitted in to ours perfectly as they had some of the same ideas as us, so it was easier for us to join our groups ideas with theirs. Some of the ideas we came up with was that, as they have a boy in bed as well, their boy ( played by Matteo) should be in bed with Tim. Following on, we taught the other group some of the actions we did and we wanted them to join in, we then merged their piece into ours, when Tim mentions about swimming with sea creatures and then their group started saying what they wanted to be- which my group then started learning the actions and directions they wanted us to do. we ended at the same ending my group originally had  but this time, Matteo and Tim walked off together waving at each of the dolls. 

Why have you chosen some of these ideas to develop further? You need to EXPLAIN WHY?
We chose to develop ideas further so it could all make sense and link perfectly for example we had the same idea of being an astronaut and being in space, so we decided all of us should run to the middle, where the bed was and say ''321....BLAST OFF!'' together.

Why did you reject some of the ideas? You need to EXPLAIN WHY?
Some of the ideas we had to ditch, because it didn't make sense, such as the other groups starting line they were going to use didn't make sense to what previously happened, so we changed the lines and we also had to alter some of our positions so that everyone could get involved and be seen.  

What acting skills/performance skills are you using? EXPLAIN WHY these are suitable for the piece and the target audience.
We used little bits of physical theatre and we also used communication and listening even though it was very hard, because all of us wanted to be heard we managed to do it at the end of the day and we were pleased with the piece we devised together.As we originally had, we emphasised on our movements and words so it comes across more exciting and intriguing for our target audience which are little children
