Sunday 2nd July – 8 Y6 children perform in ‘Come Yew In’ with The Common Lot

by

On a beautiful afternoon in the shadow of Cow Tower, 8 of our Year 6 children join local theatre company The Common Lot in their latest piece Come Yew In – A Proud History of Strangers in Norwich. Over the past few weeks they have been working with Duncan Joseph to develop a 5 minute piece based on stories of the Kinder transport in World War 2. Their piece then became one of the stories in the 90 minute performance. They are performing again at Peterson Park in Mile Cross at 7.30 on Tuesday evening. Well done to all involved and thanks to everyone who turned up to support them.

Friday 24th March – Y6 perform at LiT’s Oak Street Centre

by

Friday 24th March brought 18 months of collaboration with Annabel and her LiT coaches to a stunning climax. Arriving at the Oak Circus Centre at 9am, Y6 began 4 hours of intensive walk-through and ‘tribe’ rehearsals before performing to over 70 parents and invited guests at 1.30. It was a triumph in all respects, and their successes through the day were beautifully captured by Mr Whalen. Please enjoy the gallery of still images and click on the link below to watch the full performance.
