Year 5 - One Small Step

This week Year 5 have finished our English unit 'One Small Step'. Luna finally achieves her childhood dream of becoming an astronaut and children came up with possible inner thoughts that Luna might have during this momentous moment! 

 

Year 1 Outer Space Drama Workshop!

We were very pleased to receive a visit from Perform on Tuesday 24th September. The children had a wonderful time exploring the theme of Outer Space and using drama, dance and singing to help develop their confidence, concentration and social skills. We went on a mission to space to defeat the evil alien. Your child should have come home with a leaflet with information on drama clubs that they can join and learn to develop their acting skills. 

University of Mead - Drama

 On Friday, Mead University's drama club performed Cinderella in under 5 minutes after weeks of practicing our expression, stage presence and characterisiation. Each and every child - from Cinderella to sound effects - did an incredible job and we are very proud of them all. Here are a few action shots of our stars:

Year 3 go back in time!

The children in year three were very lucky to receive a visit from the fabulous Hobgoblin Theatre Company today. First we watched a crazy show called Prehistoric Park, which as well as being hilarious, consolidated our learning on The Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. We then took part in a brilliant drama workshop, which was lots of fun.

Welcome to the Habbit Factory

The Habbit Factory have run after school sessions at Mead for many years and are now able to reopen their community workshops in the MySpace Centre and the Salvation Army hall in Petersfield Avenue.

Fairy tale fun in year one!

The children in year one were treated to a very special digital performance of Hansel and Gretel and a workshop from the fantastic Hobgoblin Theatre Company this week.  They thoroughly enjoyed the performance and had great fun pretending to be different fairy tale characters. It also inspired their Big Write today.

"My favourite fairy tale character is Pinocchio." exclaimed Daniel.
