Arts Week
We have just finished a hugely successful Arts Week at school. All the planning and preparation in the weeks leading up to this has meant that every child has been involved in workshops, live performances, a poetry cafe, art and dance sessions and a whole school talent show. We booked live music workshops for every class, involving African drumming, Boomwhackers and Stomp-style dance sessions!
We also made links with Enfield Grammar, who brought some of their students across to perform to KS2 pupils. Some Year 6 pupils will also be attending the Art exhibition at Chace Community School. Our Year 6 pupils were 'teachers' for some sessions, teaching every class a dance routine for a whole school song. Some very positive feedback from staff about the talent, patience and confidence from our older pupils.
Every year group has been studying a different artist, from Klee to Murakami, learning about the styles of painting and the inspiration for their works. From this, every child has produced a small painting on canvas, which will be on sale to parents week beginning 24th June. More details will follow. We finished the week with our Bright Colours Day and our Talent Show final. The winner will be announced on Monday.
A huge thank you to the PTA for paying for the canvases, to Elysia from Impress Musical Theatre, for her time and effort in teaching Year 6 their dance moves and finally, to all the staff, for their enthusiasm and commitment to making our Arts Week such a success. Photos of the week will be available to view next week.
