been practised, songs polished,
instruments tuned, props being
made, and scenery painted. And in
the best tradition of Hollywood, the
‘Rock Nativity’ was a great success,
and we haven’t looked back.
The Spring term saw the Key Stage 2
pupils research, devise, and perform
an extravaganza which took the life
and works of Cardiff-born Roald
Dahl as its theme. In the light of
rave reviews, it came as no surprise
that our younger pupils, and their
teachers, wanted to get involved.
Thanks to additional funds provided
by our PTA, the doors of Rock School
are now open to all.
Since those early days, we now have
an ever-extending talent pool of staff,
many of whom have discovered new
talents or revived skills long forgotten.
So, if a fly were to buzz in today it
would be greeted by joy and laughter
as our younger pupils get to grips
with lyrics, dance moves, and ukulele
chords as we start to plan for this
year’s Nativity performances.
Thanks to the dedication and
commitment of our staff and friends,
we look forward to many more
performances from Rock School.
