SCHOOL HIGHLIGHT:
TALENTED Y7 STUDENTS PRESENT PURE IMAGINATION TO A FULL HOUSE – BOHUNT SCHOOL
Students from across Year 7 at Bohunt School in Liphook performed in the inspirational show, Pure Imagination - a collaborative and dynamic artwork - just before the autumn half term.
Songs and reviews from musicals such as Annie, Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and Matilda received the true Bohunt treatment as each tutor group in Year 7 took it in turns to perform on three consecutive evenings. Students performed songs in front of friends and families, show casing their hard work, determination and effort.
The annual event highlights how our diligent Year 7s have progressed since the start of school in September and how they have spent some of their time in their Expressive Art classes during their first term at secondary school.
Head of Expressive Arts, Carly Du Feu said, “This year’s Pure Imagination was a roaring success. Congratulations to our Year 7 students who performed songs, dances and drama sketches from some of their favourite books.”
Year 7 students have also created largescale collaborative art works in their house colours to display as the set, helping bring the hall to life in an array of colour. This year our new house system was central to the theme for the evening. Mentors, tutors and heads of house played an integral role in preparing students for this production, alongside the Expressive Arts team. It is incredible to see so much talent up there on the stage and the students working together to create such a special evening of theatre which I’m sure they will remember for years to come. I am always amazed at the high level of performance skills achieved in only seven weeks of learning here at Bohunt School, one that promotes our school ethos of ‘enjoy’ to its fullest.”
Some of the students who took part said, “We’ve been working really hard on our dance, drama and musical pieces. It’s been fun to work with our friends and make new ones! Get ready to be amazed!”
Dance Teacher Elizabeth Richards said,
“The Year 7 production is always a fantastic celebration of the students’ first term with us at Bohunt. We are lucky to have such talented actors, dancers and musicians in the school.”
