The Year 5 Soirée was a wonderfully relaxed and memorable evening. Parents brought picnics and take-away pizzas which were consumed in the school hall whilst boys delivered first class entertainment in the form of singing, instrumental pieces, recitation and magic acts.<\/p>\n
The evening began with a performance of St George and the Dragon by Debbie Rose, a cantata with seven songs featuring a touching solo by Kayden, some impressive harmonies, very professional African drumming and a lively re-enactment of the dragon’s demise by Alex as St George and Tye as the dragon.<\/p>\n
Sammy worked the audience superbly with his card tricks while Scott, Lorcan and Thomas dazzled with disappearing coins, mind-controlled tomato ketchup and buckets of water.<\/p>\n
We were treated to a spell-binding rendition of ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes as well as instrumental solos by Leo, Takumi, Quinn, Luther, Archie, Leo, Charlie and Daniel.<\/p>\n
Finally, the whole of year 5 demonstrated their musical prowess with a rousing performance of ‘The Wreck’ by Jan Holdstock.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
