Historical Delights from Year 4

Pupils, staff and parents were taken on a journey back in time for two outstanding performances for our Year 4 plays.

Split across two plays, audiences were treated to a different take on the Battle of Hastings and how events might have unfolded. With intrepid journalists covering the scenes and a very seasick French army to contend with, did William and his Anglo-Saxons actually make a hasty retreat to start a new life in the sun? As our French invaders learnt to delight in the charms of the British seaside (candyfloss, anyone?), our pupils showed great confidence and comic timing.

In Richard III, Bring Me My Horse, audiences were taken on the rollercoaster of dastardliness that determined the rise (and fall) of Richard III. With wise predictions, ghoulish consequences and some hilarious antics in between, it was certainly a challenging but perfectly delivered piece that had the audience in stitches.

A huge thanks to Mrs Morse and all of the team behind the scenes, and a huge well done to all of our Year 4 pupils. These performances involve every pupil, and it is wonderful to see every one of their stars shine brightly on stage.
