EPOC (English Pocket Opera Company) performed ‘Opera Blocks’ to KS2, an interactive introduction that aimed to ‘unpack’ all the ingredients of an opera. Their one hour show used excerpts from over 20 different operas and included an hysterical and unscripted 15-minute opera that was improvised with suggestions from the pupils. The fact that Mr Tallon & Miss Sherring managed to get themselves killed off on stage added to the fun!

The Girls football team took part in the West Barnet 6-a-Side Tournament at Power League. Despite deteriorating weather they performed well and improved with each game played.

We have been approached by Cambridge University to help with a research project called the ‘Index of Toddlers’ Life Chances’. They are looking for parents of 12- to 35-month-old children to complete a questionnaire. The study, part of the ‘Ready Steady Go’ project, is led by Prof. Claire Hughes and is trying to learn more about the growth of basic social skills in children and the experiences of parents of raising children. It’s very short, takes 10 minutes, and they would be delighted if parents contributed. For more information or if you can help please pick up a paper questionnaire from school or visit the links below:
