St John's On-The-Hill Year 5 6 PlaysOnce upon a time, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves met Puss in Boots…. and they all lived happily ever after!
That was certainly the case at the Year 5 & 6 showcase night at St John’s-on-the-Hill school. Performing to a packed main hall audience, the Chepstow school pupils wowed with their acting and singing skills, leaving one parent to remark that it was ‘the best night’s entertainment she’d had in years’. Taking to the stage first, Year 5 told the story of how Puss – played by Phoebe McCouaig, 10 – sought fame and riches on the streets of London.
This was swiftly followed by Year 6 taking their turn to recount how Snow White – played by Isabelle Sales-Hill, 10 – was eventually saved from the clutches of the Evil Queen (Grace Lingwood, also 10). Following the word-perfect shows, St John’s headmaster, Nick Folland, said: “What a brilliant night. It was even more remarkable considering that it went ahead without the director, Miss Holly Brigden, and the way the staff rallied round to ensure that the show must go on is a testament to the spirit of St John’s. I thought the children sang superbly.”
Next up for the school stage will be a performance of High School Musical from Years 7 & 8; who’ll have a challenge on their hands to live up to the standards of Years 5 & 6!
