The Year 6 pupils at Garlinge Primary School and Nursery have showcased their remarkable talent and dedication with an outstanding production of ‘Pirates of the Curry Bean’.
After weeks of rehearsals, the young stars performed brilliantly, delighting audiences with their hard work and enthusiasm.
Following the completion of their end-of-year SATs, the Year 6 pupils dedicated themselves to bringing the show to life. They performed to the school community, including Year 4 and Year 5 pupils, and also held both daytime and evening performances for parents and carers.
The production featured everything from captivating solo performances to energetic dance routines and enthusiastic singing from the choir. Adding an extra layer of excitement, Mr Shepherd, a Year 4 teacher, made a special guest appearance dressed as a gorilla, much to the delight of everyone present.
The detailed scenery, meticulously crafted by support staff, provided the perfect backdrop for the adventurous tale, and helped bring the story to life.
Assistant headteacher Mrs Pegden praised the pupils’ efforts, saying: “The children have worked tirelessly over the last month to put on a truly amazing show.”
Mr Cope, Head of School, added: “It has been an absolute pleasure to see the dedication and commitment that the children have shown in learning their parts. This culminated in a fantastic performance which was enjoyed by their parents and carers.
“It was a joy to see how far the children have come during their time with us here at Garlinge and we wish them all the very best as they leave us for their secondary schools.”
Special thanks were extended to the Year 6 teachers Miss Subramaniam and Miss Jenkins for their hard work with rehearsals and directing the production and to the invaluable contributions of the Year 6 support staff in designing props and costumes.
