NEWS FROM LUCKLEY HOUSE SCHOOL
LIVE THEATRE TO MARK EARTH DAY To celebrate this year’s ‘Earth Day’, the Drama Department connected with The Old Vic Theatre to watch the live stream of their production of The Lorax. Year 7 and 8 pupils watched the show from The Whitty Theatre and enjoyed the story of the Once-ller who leaves his home to seek his fortune. The Once-ller comes across Truffla Valley and meets The Lorax, who looks after and nurtures the trees. What unfolds is a colourful, engaging, yet chilling reminder to look after the environment that we live in. Amelie (Year 8) said “It was very clever and thoughtful in the way in which the performers thought through the story and message. I especially loved the rhyme in the performance.” Tate (Year 7) said “This was a very witty play which gave a valuable lesson to all who watched it.” The classes are now working on writing their own theatre reviews of the performance, which we look forward to reading!
STUNNING CAKE FOR FUTURE STARS Senior Drama students were treated to an amazing cake by Head, Mrs Bizior, to celebrate their recent win in the ISA Devised Drama Competition. The letters on the stars represent the first letter of each student’s name. The cake was created by local bakery My Little Patisserie. http://www.mylittlepatisserie.com/
NEW MENTORING SCHEME Over the past few months, the Senior Prefect Team has been working hard on setting up a mentoring scheme for Luckley. We’re really excited to announce that it’s now up and running! Pupils can decide which prefect that they want to talk to. All pupils can feel free to talk to us about anything – from things happening at school or at home or if you simply just want someone to chat to. The Senior Prefect Team felt that mentoring was something that was missing from Luckley, and we’re hoping that this new scheme will help us have better connections across year groups and develop our school’s sense of community. Poppy, Head Student
