Celebrating Christmas with Drama and Food!

Year 10 Christmas Pastries

Year 10 Food preparation and Nutrition and Hospitality and Catering Classes bought Christmas into the classroom today and created puff pastry Christmas trees or snowflakes. They used their Maths skills for the snowflakes creating equal strands to twist and fold. They had great fun creating the designs and even reduced food waste by creating extra designs with the off cuts. The puff pastry was filled with either chocolate spread, Biscoff or pesto and cheese for those that preferred savoury. 


 












Year 7 Drama Club

This first term, a dedicated troupe of year 7 students have been spending their Friday afternoons in the Drama department, creating their own Christmas plays based off of a randomly selected image.  All we can say is wow! These students demonstrated their collaboration skills, commitment and creativity in the most wonderful display of talent that took place in the main hall. Last Friday we had an award giving ceremony to celebrate their hard work plus a singalong to welcome in the festive holiday. Well done year 7 you have made the Drama Department proud!
In total we had 9 performances and here are the awards and winners: 
The funniest moment: Yeti Who Stole Christmas
The most dramatic moment: Reindeer Murder Mystery 
Best display of skill: Santa's Holiday 
Most festive performance: The Christmas Tree
Best characters: How The Grinch Saved Christmas 
Best musical performance: Christmas Gone Wrong 
Best overall performance: Elf...But Better 
Best Narration: A Christmas Slay Play 
Most Original story: Christmas Ruined 
The students had immense fun collaborating with one another and supporting each other during the performances. We can't wait to see what they do next ! 
Many thanks,
