Moments like this...

The Grade 0 students at Beaulieu Prep School were asked to draw a picture showing what they did Yesterday, were going to do Today and what they'll do Tomorrow. They all remembered that Tuesday is Drama Day!! and Juliet comes to teach them! What a good job they did with their artwork :-)

ANNLIN STUDIO FIRST LESSON OF TERM 4




Our Lower Primary class is so good at exploring their emotions! They are always enthusiastic and eager to try new things! Principal, Juliet Jordaan, visited them at their first lesson back and she was so impressed with their play rehearsals! When their parents come through to Centurion Theatre we think they are going to be blown away!!! These students, most of whom started drama with the Academy in June 2011, have really developed so fast and their English speaking skills are fantastic!

Midrand Montessori Students finishing off their theme Teddy Bear

The Midrand Montessori students ended off their Teddy Bear theme with a lovely play called Big Box of Bears..they really enjoyed acting as all different kinds of teddies and the play looked great!!



We welcome our two newest members - they really enjoyed themselves!

TERM 4 IS UNDERWAY!!!


Yes that's right! Tomorrow 8 October marks the beginning of our fourth term!
 
Welcome back to all our wonderful parents and awesome students! This is going to be a very exciting term of productions: The Grasshopper and the Ants, Tray Chic and Fancy That by the Lower and Upper Primary classes, and our pantomime Cinderella in Africa performed by our Youth Theatre classes. This is a short action-packed term and we have much to accomplish in a very short space of time.  It also affords all our young actors and actresses an opportunity to demonstrate their creative talents in a public arena.
The 10 and 11 November see some of our studios performing their plays at the Centurion Theatre in Lyttleton.
 
We can't wait - this is the teachers favourite term as we get to see our Super Stars on Stage!
We hope to see everyone in class this week and every week until the end of term!
Remember even when you are studying for exams you need to take worthwhile breaks and exercise your brains with fresh air and drama!!!
 
Let's take a trip down memory lane....who remembers these fantastic students in their plays from 2011....
