On Monday 11th February, we held our first movie night in school. 258 pupils attended the spectacular night. Children bought popcorn and drinks and enjoyed some sweet treats. We raised £498 for our playgrounds. All of the children enjoyed watching the Incredibles 2 with family and friends.
“I thought the movie night was a great success.” Matthew Year 4. “I thought it was a good fundraiser and we hope to do it again or something different.” Darcey Year 5. We are also considering running a board game night, a talent show, an assault course challenge or even sleeping in school! Year 6 children were invited to Wyvern Academy alongside schools from across Darlington to participate in a Messiah Project as part of the Durham Vocal Festival and Durham Music Service.
The project was to compose pieces of music inspired by Handel’s Messiah but with a modern ‘twist’. A workshop was led by members of the Orchestra for the Age of Enlightenment before the performance and then all the children came together to sing, listen and appraise various pieces of music. This was a wonderful opportunity for the children and they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. |
