Shakespeare at the Saints!!
Kieron and his actors have worked in the UK and around the world providing interactive drama sessions and performances that reach 10,000 children every year. He is the man behind the critically acclaimed film and software package for schools Shakespeare Works! which is distributed here in the UK and worldwide.
Kieron was very excited at returning to the Saints with his actors who delivered four successful workshops as well as their show package, Shakespeare Invigorated! This consisted of four 100% interactive drama workshops, followed by a performance by Kieron and his actors of Shakespeare’s classic play Romeo and Juliet – it was fast, funny, in your face, authentic Shakespeare with the original language, costume and music.
Great fun was had by all the pupils and staff during the two days experiencing this new and interactive way of learning about Shakespeare and his times.
We were also grateful for the support from Barclaycard, both with the funding of these two days and with the support from their staff who helped the groups with the activities in the workshops. We hope they learnt a little as well!!
Schools taking part were; The Duston School; Roade School; Sponne School, Towcester; St. James; Whitehills; Kingsthorpe Grove; Cedar Road; Paulespury; Abington Vale; Bridgewater and Parklands Primary Schools.
Spring Presentation Evening enjoyed by all!
Last night over 350 parents,carers,teachers and mentors attended the Presentation Evening to celebrate the success of the children who have attended the final Playing for Success sessions at the Saints Study Centre. The event was held in the Rodber Suite at Franklin’s Gardens – home of the Saints.
The audience was treated to a demonstration of Circus skills by the County Jester, Kevin Burke during which many of the children came out in front of the audience to perform their new found skills.
Once the speeches and demonstrations were over, all the children were presented with certificates and medals by Jonny Clarke and Ben Nutley from the Saints Squad as well as Bernie!! After the presentations the children collected their “goody bags” from the mentors which included a Study Centre T shirt, an autograph book, a Saints pen, pencil and pencil case and of course a cream egg as it will soon be Easter time!!!
A great evening was had by all. Well done to all our young learners who have completed 22 hours of study support which will definitely help them in their future schooling. Good luck to you all in the future!
