Year 3 have been exploring how to turn a narrative into a performance this term, they have looked at taking a poem and developing it into a drama. They have been working on the poem ‘Matilda’ by Hilaire Belloc and have turned it into a wonderful comic play which they loved performing to each other.
Well done to our girls for taking part in their U11 netball match against Barfield – it was a sunny, if chilly afternoon, and the girls performed really well. Playing 2 games, the first was a 15-10 win while the second was a narrow loss of 9-6. In all, an excellent effort, well done!
Year 2 have been busy out and about around the school grounds hunting for signs and symbols. I wonder how many they managed to find?

Which is a different take on a traditional story. They had to work together as a group to rehearse and perform the piece. They learnt that everyone is equally important to the performance whichever…
