“Just wanted to say how<br />

amazing it was to see the<br />

year 7s in action with<br />

Creative Arts yesterday.<br />

It truly was a breath of<br />

fresh air. Thank you. Your<br />

great relationships with the<br />

cohort have obviously made<br />

an impact on the passion<br />

that they have for the arts.<br />

Long may it continue”.<br />

Year 7<br />

Creative Arts Event:<br />

Acceptance<br />

Jasmeet Birdi<br />

(Head of Year 7)<br />

On<br />

Wednesday 27th March <strong>2019</strong> the<br />

Creative Arts team hosted an event<br />

with year 7 on the theme of “Acceptance”,<br />

celebrating their work in creative arts during<br />

the spring term.<br />

Guests including parents, staff, students and their<br />

siblings were invited to watch performances and<br />

take part in a carousel of music, animation, art<br />

and drama workshops alongside year 7. During<br />

the event the audience undertook a promenade<br />

style experience, escorted by the year 12 Arts<br />

and Culture committee through the different<br />

creative arts spaces to see the work year 7 have<br />

been doing in creative arts. This included; Pivot<br />

animation with Art backgrounds including<br />

Tracey Emin style textile work, Flipbooks;<br />

Drama performances based on acceptance and<br />

storytelling and a range of music performances,<br />

including 3 original compositions and one<br />

solo performance, and finally a stripped back<br />

performance in the drama studio with animation.<br />

“Please pass on my congratulations<br />

and thanks to the Year 7s and your<br />

Creative Arts team for a wonderful<br />

event yesterday. The year 7<br />

students were fantastic, giving<br />

amazing performances. The<br />

activities in Art were great and I<br />

spoke to some of the parents who<br />

were enjoying the “therapeutic”<br />

glass painting and were so chuffed to be<br />

taking their pieces home. The Sixth Form<br />

helpers were such good ambassadors for<br />

the school and the Creative Arts team and<br />

it was lovely to see them there too. Many<br />

thanks and well done to all”.<br />

Maria Bramhall<br />

(Assistant Head of School)<br />

The event was well attended and the performances<br />

were really well received. Parents in particular<br />

enjoyed the opportunity to take part in the<br />

art based workshops working alongside their<br />

children and learning various techniques. They<br />

said they welcomed more events like this as it<br />

really highlighted what can be achieved and the<br />

range of arts opportunities available to nurture<br />

the talent and hard work of year 7 in their first<br />

year at <strong>Cranford</strong>.<br />
