The major house competition of the Autumn 1 term was Art & Design. Students were tasked with creating two or more puppets from a folk story and creating a video.

Students worked together after school on Fridays at the house competition enrichment to create their puppets and films with their Heads of House. On Thursday 21st October the final films were premiered in the theatre to a special audience of lucky “golden ticket” winners. Students were awarded a ticket by their Head of House for their excellence & ‘intrepidus’ during half term. The lucky ticket winners in the audience were given snacks to enjoy during the exclusive first screening of each of the four films.

The Angelou entry is based on an Indian folktale called “Sun, Wind and Moon Go Out to Dinner” and was created by the amazingly creative Dominick, Sarah, Julia, Lara, Grace and Mia (all from 7 Knowles). The Franklin film was based on the Japanese folk tale “The Mirror of Matsuyama” and was created by Candice (7 Omari), Arthur (7 Simone), Haris (8 Smith), Indigo (9 Euler), Patricia and Sophia (9 Fermat). The Honeyball video was created by Taha, Janna and Marwa from 7 Wonder; Natan and Amarna from 7 Bassey; Freddie, Danica and Sumayyah from 8 Muller; and Shabnam and Salma from 9 Turing. They chose to retell the Nigerian folktale “Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky”. Finally, the Pankhurst entry told the Chinese folk story “The Four Dragons” and was created by Gianna (7 Mason), Ibuku (9 Reason), and Fatmata, Anna and Hannah from 9 Mirzakhani).
