PERFORMING ARTS: A JAM PACKED SPRING TERM
The Performing Arts team at Waldegrave has kept students on their toes this term with new plays, exciting homework, practice and performance and many trips too. We began the term with auditions for the joint production of Bugsy Malone with Hampton Boys School - this was a great success and after only a few weeks of after school rehearsals a number of our pupils really enjoyed the experience of performing in this show. Our Year 7s learned what life was like in Victorian England as a maid while studying The Lottie Project. This involved a lot of research and fun role-playing in their lessons. Later in the term these pupils went on to study a Midsummer night’s Dream and again got creative with their homework, creating collages and paintings. Year 9 took part in a Theatre in Education project learning about make up for stage. They got the face paints and make-up out to create their own characters. Students were also treated to a very interesting talk by Dr Chris Tarrant, Senior Lecturer in Music at Newcastle University about Development of the Symphony. There is lots already planned for next term to keep those brain cells engaged!
