Co-curricular Arts News

Year 5 and 6 Drama

Congratulations to the boys who last Monday and Wednesday presented their end-of-year performances.  The Year 5 boys did a fantastic job presenting the show 'Live News' which included a collection of TV-inspired short plays and poems.  On Wednesday night the Year 6 boys, together with special guest appearances from some Year 7 and Year 8 boys, presented the full-length show, “Larry Snuggleduff and the Hufflepuffers”.  The boys brought it, with their acting, dancing and epic battles all done to a toe-tapping soundtrack performed by DJ Bumbleboo. A special thanks to Louise Marshall and her staff for preparing the boys throughout the year in a series of engaging, creative and entertaining productions. We look forward to more in 2025.
