Girls Enjoying Success

Year 1 enjoyed a sunny trip to the Old Orchard garden and pond. We loved pond-dipping and hunting for minibeasts to help us learn about animals and their habitats.

We continued our musical theatre focus this term with Music at Lunchtime last Friday. First up was Rory M from Year 10, who sang the very well-known Slipping Through My Fingers, from Mamma Mia. Rory’s voice was sweet and innocent, perfectly conveying the sadness of the song. Next up, we had the inaugural performance of the new Performing Arts Workshop, coached by Mr Davies. They started with Falling Slowly from the musical Once, using simple harmonies and simple staging to very effectively encapsulate the sentiment of the song. Their next performance was Shadowland from The Lion King, which they used to explore the experience of refugees leaving home. This was powerfully delivered, again with simple staging for maximum effect. The next song was a solo, delivered by Sofia S-J from Year 10, who sang Colours of the Wind from Pocahontas. She sang with confidence and clarity. Finally, the ensemble wrapped up their set with One Short Day, from Wicked. This was very imaginative, and the excitement was palpable in the audience. This Music at Lunchtime was the first for many of the ensemble, and they really should be commended for their enthusiasm and confidence. Well done to all of the performers, and we can’t wait to see you back again soon! Do listen back on our soundcloud!
