END OF TERM AT THE ACADEMY

With the end of term already here, in some areas, the children in our classes have been showing off their new skills in their parent day presentations. The circus play was a popular theme for these shows this term!

Very colourful outfits for parent days!

The children love their classes and parents love the results! Principals received excellent feedback. Our Norwich Principal received the following in an email:

"We would like to thank you so much for all you have done for Max over the past couple of years. I have to tell you about his school Christmas play! Max only had a couple of solo lines but he didn't just say the punchline; he delivered it; he ACTED it. 

Max completely took to you and your methods of teaching and we believe what he has learnt from you has helped in so many ways. I know he will carry many pleasant memories and experiences forward with him, not least the desire to perform. With the confidence he now has, getting up in front of a crowd is something he will never struggle with again. Thanks for everything!"

MEXICANS AND GRUBBY GERMS - THEN CHRISTMAS COMES TO THE ACADEMY!

Imagination is running high at the Academy. In Norwich, students enjoyed their Mime to Music "The Grubby Germs" and really took on their characters thanks to some stunning masks provided by Principal, Gill Prins.

Previously the children had put together a play called "Go Easy On The Chilli" and Mexican costumes were all the rage!

With Christmas looming, Bournemouth Principal, Susana Ayala, took her students to join the Christmas Parade. Here they are, with Susana (r), all dressed as snowmen, ready to perform.


Back in Norwich, the children had another Mime to Music called "The Christmas Decorations" when, with the help of some props, they became a stunning Christmas tree!

And then (almost all) the lights went out ........

HUNTING IN GREAT YARMOUTH!

In Great Yarmouth, last week, children in Helen O'Grady classes were putting together a Mime to Music called 'The Hunt' and they looked pretty fearsome in their feathers and war paint!

Using specially written music, the children sharpened their spears, and packed their quivers with arrows, before setting off to find dinner! They were surprised to find another group in their path and looked pretty mean when they came face to face with them.

They pulled scary faces and looked threatening for a while before making friends and sharing their feast together.

Classes in Great Yarmouth are run by Norwich Principal, Gill Prins, and there are still places available for children between the ages of 5 and 11. Contact Gill on norwich@helenogrady.co.uk
