The first week back after Easter has been so busy for all of the children, however we’ve been incredibly proud of the behaviour and attitudes demonstrated by them all throughout all the change this week.
A huge part of our timetable has been preparation for our performance of Shakespeare’s King Lear. This included our first dress rehearsal and a visit to Northern Stage where the performance is taking place for a run through. The show has come a long way from the first few sessions earlier in the year and we cannot wait for everyone to see! All the performers have put so much time and effort into the performance and we are so incredibly proud of them all.
On Wednesday, the children that are attending Sir Charles Parsons School in September had their first transitions visit to the school. They had a tour around the school (including the playground with a zip wire!) and even got to see some of our old friends. Although some children were nervous about the visit and upcoming change, everyone had a great time and were incredibly excited by the end of the visit.
Thursday was a brilliant day for everyone in the class. We were lucky enough to attend Nuns Moor Fair to enjoy the rides before opening. We were amazed at how brave everybody was, with many choosing to go on the biggest rides (sometimes twice!). We definitely have some thrill seekers in the class. We enjoyed having our packed lunches at the fair and even received a bag of candy floss each. We would like to say a huge thanks to the fair and everyone involved in organising the visit! We finished off the day celebrating Oliver’s 9th birthday. Happy birthday Oliver, we hope you’ve had the best day.
In anticipation for our performance this evening, everyone involved in the play have travelled to the Northern Stage for a final rehearsal. We can’t wait to share with you all the performance and I hope family and friends who are attending have the best time and enjoy the show. Good luck to all our performers, you will do amazing. Break a leg!
