NEWS FROM THE PRINCIPAL,
Helen Walls
Nikki, Simon, Lydia and Emily have LOVED
teaching our students this term! Our primary
pupils have had BEDLAM AT BEDTIME; a hilarious mime to music and Lower
Primary loved being animals who were running their own zoo. Upper Primary have been practicing their
skills at a SKI RESORT, created their own TV show and have been working hard at
their Verbal Dynamics: an extended poem with lots of actions and acting thrown
in. Our Youth Theatre students became
extremely funny cavemen and women, have been creating News Reports and have
studied and performed extracts from the play ANIMAL FARM by George Orwell. I have
managed to attend a few lessons with my baby, so I know how much fun
everyone is having.
After our Parent Days this term (during the week beginning 12th
March), we will be participating once again in National Shakespeare Week (week beginning 19th
March). We will be studying, and
improvising around the play THE TEMPEST.
The play begins with a storm at sea and
a terrifying shipwreck. There will be lots of opportunity for dramatic
embellishments there! Students are
welcome to dress up for this lesson.
Now we are starting to plan ahead for the
Summer Term. As many of you will already
know, the Summer Term is our PRODUCTION
TERM! We will be looking for
students who are COMMITTED to rehearsing each week, developing strong
characters to cast in our shows. Commitment is a very important quality
to have as an actor. Our fellow cast members
rely on us as we work as an ensemble team, and if each link in the chain is
strong, we know that our performance will be AMAZING!

regards, Helen.
