Italian Day
As part of our International Award programme of study and events we held an Italian Day in school on Friday 18 May 2007. The highlight of our Italian Day was the "Cantare" concert. Parents, carers and friends were welcome to attend the concert which started at 1.30pm and lasted an hour.
Mrs Thompson and Mr G Griffiths, a Nationally renowned Vocal Coach & Musical Director were accompanied by Mr Treherne, MBE, Head of the Music service in Gateshead on piano and our own Mr F Wheatley on guitar. There were also Italian songs sung by a group of staff and by the pupils.
Pupils looked at words we use that originate from Italian such as spaghetti, pizza, motto, and also learning numbers in Italian. Brenda, our school cook created an Italian menu for pupils and staff at lunchtime before our afternoon concert.
If you are interested in joining Sing Live or just finding out more about the choir you can look at their web site and if you are sharp-eyed you might see a photo of our very own, Mrs Judith Thompson. http://www.singliveuk.com/

It's a Wiz!
Mrs Thompson is busy with rehearsals for "The Wizard of Oz". Preliminary auditions have been held for Dorothy, the Tin man, the Lion and the Scarecrow. The date for the performance is likely to be in June - just before the Year 11's leave school.
The main parts are going to be hotly contested and it is looking very good so far.
Invitations will be sent out nearer the time.
