All children
have the opportunity to take part in a production every year at
Christmas. The Infant department usually have a nativity theme and
the Juniors switch between a religious theme and a pantomime.
Last year�s productions were �Pop Go the Reindeer� (Infants) and
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Juniors). For pictures of these
look under the links section of the main school web site.
In addition
to this, we run a choir and drama club throughout the spring and
summer terms. This year we have started with a year 3 and 4 choir,
who are busily learning songs to accompany the year 5 and 6 drama
production, which will take place during the summer term. The production
this year will have a distinctly Egyptian theme, so lots of scope
for dressing up and make up!
The Choir
As well as learning the songs to accompany
the drama production, the year 3 and 4 choir also learn to sing
songs in rounds and songs which have many different parts going
on at the same time. This means that they have to learn to listen
to themselves and the people around them very carefully - it's not
that easy! Click on the button on the left to hear the choir rehearsing
a round called 'Who's Pigs are These?'
If you click on this button you will hear
an extract of a part song called 'Breakfast Calypso'
