GETTING DRAMATIC KAS proudly hosted the 7th French Drama Festival in March, with a record number of schools signing up, some of them travelling from as far as Warwickshire. We obviously also took part, with Lara and Raffi giving a stunning performance, embodying a grumpy teenager trying to work out the

difference between ‘will’ and ‘would’, and her irascible English teacher who has just been dumped. Their hilarious rendition of the scene left the audience in raptures, and earned them the loudest applause of the
French Drama Festival
evening, as well as a well deserved team prize for ‘Best Unique Theatrical experience’.
SPANISH CELEBRATION In Spanish, students learnt about the cultural aspects of Dia de los Muertos, a tradition from Latin America (Mexico) which happens every year on the 1st and 2nd of November. Years 9 & 10 researched and reproduced the altars people use to celebrate their dead, placing on them flowers, fruit, candles and skulls. Year 6 students made masks, Year 7 sang along to ‘En Mexico’ and students from different year groups watched the film ‘Coco’. Y9s baked and decorated cupcakes and biscuits; and there was traditional sugar skull make-up face painting.
