StarGaze Drama Group presents……..

“Wind in the Willows”

What an amazing day yesterday……………

Our StargGaze Drama Group presented their performance of  “Wind in the Willows”

Since February the group have been meeting on a Tuesday after school from 3 -4 pm.

They have been working on workshops, learning scripts, stage direction, action songs, lyrics and improvisation.

Yesterday’s performance was a culmination of all their hard work, determination and team work, allowing the pupils to become Confident and Successful Learners.

I’m sure you will agree that we have very many talented yougsters and this performance allowed them to showcase their talents.
