Medbury School
Play the Game
Arts Week Opera in Schools Year 6 Teacher Mr Durant made his impromptu matinee performance as a marriage celebrant….. singing the lines (to the audiences delight)! This was all during a performance by Opera in Schools of Donizetti’s Don Pasquale which included an excellent double-cross scheme as Don Pasquale’s friend comes up with a plan to help Don’s nephew and sole heir, Ernesto.
CBHS Funk Band The band of nine including a horn section of two saxophones, a trombone and trumpet, as well as two very capable vocalists, delighted the boys by playing two pieces of Funk and Soul Music. By the end of the performance the Medbury boys were all clapping and grooving away to this group of talented boys.
Pavement Art Competition All the boys selected for the pavement art sprinted like little kids high on sugar to their rectangular art canvas, that was plainly drawn on the concrete. Each team gathered around their piece of grey concrete which was soon to be transformed into vibrant artworks of the sea. We had two hours to recreate the ocean we visualized onto our concrete canvas. It was great to see all the boys working together in their teams, to create their underwater masterpiece. At the end of the competition all the concrete canvases from Years 2 to 8 were filled with gloriously, colorful fishy artworks. The boys loved the pavement art competition and cannot wait to do it again in two years’ time. 22
