Flashmob Surprise!

A flashmob performance by 9F during English took Mrs Carroll by surprise last week, as students burst into song and dance.

 

Students did an incredible job, having met for secret rehearsals at lunchtime to learn the lyrics to Taylor Swift’s Romeo and Juliet inspired song, “Love Story”.

 

Students have been studying Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and brought the theme of passion to life with their amazing performance. Well done everyone!
