Speech & Drama
All lessons take place in the vibrant dedicated Speech and Drama classroom which is fitted with a mini stage and professional stage lights. Children are encouraged to bring in used theatre tickets and programmes to add to the classroom displays. They relate their weekly news, recite poetry and prose, study the history of Theatre, take part in vocal exercises, improvisation work and word games. As they progress, pupils are encouraged to write their own play and direct it in the classroom.
