SUPERHERO COMIC

LEEMING SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL - ENGLISH

As you all know, every Tuesday we attend Leeming Senior High School for an extension Mathematics and English program. Last term in English, we watched “Alice in Wonderland” and looked at how to ask philosophical questions, or as our English teacher Mrs Longmire put it, “BIG, FAT, WICKED QUESTIONS!!!” This term, we are looking at superheroes! Yes, superheroes! We thought about questions, such as “What makes a superhero super?” and “What motivates a superhero to do what they do?” before receiving a booklet about how to create our own superhero and superhero comic. 

We had to think about questions such as “What are your superhero’s powers?” and “What is your superhero’s backstory?” We had design our superhero’s looks and plan out their adventures and troubles until finally, we were given a blank book to draw and create our comic in. This book will contain all of our imaginative ideas as we become “mini comic authors”!

“My superhero is a demon called Shwartz” explains Elycia. “His best friend has killed his parents and he is looking for revenge”

“My superhero doesn’t have a name yet, but she was inspired by Batman. She is a solitary creature of the night who protects the foreign planet she calls home and all who take residence within it. At one point, she actually is possessed by the devil, however, she escapes his grasps and takes her place once again as the protector of the people.” - Rhian

Some of us will write about evil geniuses. Other will write about very happy endings. But we can guarantee that they will all be magnificent reads.

SENIOR CHOIR

In Week 3 of Term 3, on the 7^th of August 2014, the Senior Choir (led by Mrs Mullan) journeyed to the Peter Alderton Centre to give an inspiring performance to the elderly people that spend their time there. We have been experimenting with a LOT of different styles of music and practised an infinite number of techniques to ensure our singing remains perfect, and were thrilled at being able to stage our first performance of the year at the venue. After opening our performance with the Mexican tune ‘Oye,’ the choir members from Room 22 were given an extremely special part in the performance- several of us were chosen to do the instruments behind the song ‘Beautiful Noise,’ creating a serene and melodious backing to a wonderful song popularised by the famous performer Neil Diamond. After that was finished, we had a few performances from Wattle Groove’s Got Talent

(our school talent show)- a group of three girls from Room 20, a hip hop dance, and a little bit later, Shyanne from Room 10 singing a solo called ‘Little Me,’ by the pop group Little Mix. After we had finished our amazing performance, the elderly decided to sing a song for us- a number by Doris Day called ‘Que Sera Sera,’ accompanied by a soloist. Their performance was truly inspiring and it was awesome to see them getting in on the act- you are NEVER too old to sing!
