Shakespeare Schools’ Festival
We are delighted to be taking part in Shakespeare Schools’ Festival in 2016. Our Year 5s are learning a 30 minute production of Macbeth, true to the original script, to perform in Durham’s Gala Theatre in November. We are enjoying rehearsals and our first theatre workshop in September was a really exciting experience.
Hey Presto!
Pupils in reception and year 1 have enjoyed taking part in workshops led by New Writing North this autumn. The children are looking forward to seeing the performance in West Rainton’s Jubilee Hall in October before doing some writing all about their experiences.
Visit from New York Brass
What an enjoyable afternoon we had when New York Brass came to visit Year 4 in July as part of Durham City’s streets of brass festival. The children, who have been learning brass instruments all year with Mr Freney, took part in an intense workshop before playing ‘A Message To You Rudy’ for the entire community at home time.
