Jeremiah!

The end of the summer term saw the performance of our whole school production 'Jeremiah'. The photographs in this piece are from one of our last rehearsals before the three shows to parents and members of the local community.

The play follows the story of young Jeremiah Obadiah Jackenory Jones who is on the hunt for the 'No good robber' who has stolen his Grandma's jam tarts.

On his journey through the Dark Woods, Jeremiah comes across a number of interesting characters, including: Horatio Malvolio Gladiolio D'Arcy Fitz-Henry IV...
Captain and Mrs Dawkins...
A crocodile with a ticking clock inside it...
The Mad Hatter...
Gameshow host, Robert Nunbungalow...
A dinosaur...
Three bears...A group of grannies (including one that looked surprisingly like Mr Mansell)...

A teenage wolf...
And quite a few others.
The children also performed a number of songs and dances which were 'absolutely brilliant'. The audiences lapped up the tremendous efforts of the children which were more than sprinkled with some subtle (and not so subtle) humour.
It just goes to show what can be achieved with a bit of hard work and support. All-in-all, a fantastic end to a very busy term.
There are more photographs of the actual performances on show in the school hall.
