Vive la France
On Wednesday students on the Vive la France
package enjoyed a wonderful, albeit tiring, morning with the instructors from
PARKOUR GENERATIONS. Students practiced moves and techniques to help them
traverse safely and effortlessly over and under the obstacles within our
school. The instructors encouraged all students, irrelevant of their flexibility
or strength, to have a go and many students were surprised at what they could do
on their own or synchronised with others!
On Tuesday 5th July, 80 students from the Journey Through Stage
and Screen and Modern Myth packages took a magical trip to the Harry Potter
Studios in Watford. The students wandered around Privet Drive, jumped on board
the Hogwarts Express and took a stroll down Diagon Alley. All students were
impeccably behaved and the day was fun for all (including the staff!)
Ella Didyk Year 7 - "Even though I had been before, it
was still as enchanting as the first time."
Ella Wood Year 7 - "My favourite bit of Harry Potter was
seeing Hogwarts right before my eyes, it had every detail; it was
magical."
On Wednesday 6th July, the students from Journey Through Stage and
Screen took a trip to London to see Wicked the Musical. The show centres around
the story of the Wicked Witch of the West, made popular in 'The Wizard of Oz'
and challenges our perception of the original tale; are things always as they
seem...?
In the morning, we discussed the concept of villains and the reasons
for why their stories go untold. We then ventured to sunny, central London and
had lunch at St. James' Park before making our way to the theatre. The students
were the perfect audience and came out humming along to 'Defying Gravity.'
Sophie McClatchie Year 7 - "When we all got off the coach we
had a walk around London; we saw Big Ben, the London Eye and Buckingham
Palace."
Cameron Stuart Year 8 - "Wicked did a perfect job of telling
the untold story of 'The Wizard of Oz' and the origins of the Wicked
Witch."
Mackenzie Benson Turnbull Year 7 - "It was simply
magical, it really made me contemplate the love of Oz."
