I have been so impressed by the commitment to learning lines and the superb acting skills from the older children in our practices for ‘Pirates of the Curry Bean.’ Today, we did some Dramabox warm ups to help us develop our use of speed, volume, pitch and tone in our use of voice. We had great fun with ‘Boom, Chicka, Boom’ and adpating this to get into character and use some of our lines in different ways.
Please see the letter below from Parent Council regarding results of the recent swimming survey.
