Rocking Romans
Booming Boudica, royal Roman armies, countless crazy costumes and sensational superior stunning songs – all in one perfect play! The Mog Chronicle’s review of the Year 3 summer performance is hot off the press.
This Town Is on Fire
The whole school crammed inside the hot, bustling school hall for the much-anticipated Year 2 production about The Great Fire of London. An eye-catching set, catchy songs and incredible acting by the Year 2 students left us all in awe.
The Odyssey
In April, Year 5 were lucky enough to go to the Unicorn Theatre to watch the production of The Odyssey. On the Thursday after the play, we all reviewed the show with our own thoughts and opinions. Our theatre critic tells you what we thought of the production.
All Aboard the Polar Express
This winter’s Christmas production for Year 1 and 2 was an adaptation of the Christmas Classic, The Polar Express. The students performed it for the whole school and if you missed it, here’s you chance to find out what happened…
Six, The Musical
Have you heard of the extraordinary musical called Six?
Well, if you haven’t you need to read this article. (If you have, please continue to read the review to see if you agree.)
The Great Granny Gang
One of my favourite Judith Kerr books is The Great Granny Gang. It is a very funny book about a group of grannies that always come and help out in their town.
Zwölf Points for Liverpool
If you missed the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest you must have been living under a rock — Or at least on a remote desert island. This year’s extravaganza was the most watched final in history, according to BBC viewing figures. A peak of 11 million UK viewers tuned
in and it was all broadcast live from the city of Liverpool, right here in the UK. Here, Judith Kerr’s students give you their view on the contest and their favourite acts.
