Summer Drama

During the summer holidays we did quite a few drama related activities. It wasn't only about watching professionals doing the acting, sometimes the kids were involved in drama workshops too, which they absolutely loved. They enjoy make believe so much and I think it's really good for their self confidence so I am a total believer!

Nicholas and Phillipa even attended acting school for 3 days, Witches and Wizards, all ending in the sweetest ever stage production of the Wizard of Oz. It was excellently produced giving each child a part in each chapter and also a go at one of the main characters. Nicholas was the Wizard of Oz and his line was 'I AM OZZZZ!' in a booming voice - it didn't come out all that loud and he nearly fell of the stage - but he was very impressed with himself nonetheless. He really enjoyed attending every day and loved the limelight at the end, so I think we'll have to do it again sometime!

The Lion And The Unicorn, a lovely musical show, very cleverly done using different nursery rhymes and poems accompanied by different muscial instruments to tell the romantic story of Will and Kate!

All Join In, at the Polka Theatre, as the blurb says it's a musical extravaganza based on a collection of Quentin Blake's stories - fantastic!Also at the Polka Theatre, The Big Dig, an archaeology workshop. It was linked to the The Worm Story (which unfortunately we missed)!

The Tiger Who Came To Tea, part of the Kids Week in the West End program, so it involved an exciting trip to the West End, a world class theatre production and a tea party with the cast afterwards - what an experience!

And that's one of the reasons why it's great living in London!
