Churcher’s College Junior School Year 4 star in ‘Porridge’

Posted on 9th Apr 2018 in School News, Drama, Performing Arts

Churcher’s College Junior School Year 4 performed their play Porridge, a musical drama based on characters from nursery rhymes and fairy tales.

This created a new genre of entertainment: ‘Nursery Noir’, mixing up popular stories with the world of organised crime! The children loved performing it and it was wonderful to see so much support from friends and family on the night. Judging by the laughter at the abundant jokes, hilarious one-liners and the amazing acting, singing and dancing, the evening can be described as an unequivocal success.

Thanks must go to those who helped create the nursery world with costumes, scenery and direction, in particular Mrs Philipa Yugin-Power for her help with the backdrop and Mrs Robyn Fairlie, Mrs Sarah Roberts, Tilly Fairlie and Hannah Moore for their help backstage. A special thanks to Mr Chris Pellett for the fantastic lighting and sound effects.

Year 4 class teachers Mrs Sarah Jane Moore and Mrs Kayleigh Pendry said ‘It was the children of Year 4, working as a team, that made the characters and story come to life – well done to you all!’
