mighty oaks from little acorns grow* Little Miss … and Mr Men * 14th Century proverb At the end of last year our Preps, Year 1s and Year 2s once again engaged and enchanted our audiences with a superb drama production. This time it was the tale of Mr Neat and his special party, from Mr Men and Little Miss. By the end of the School year the Year 2s have mastered many new dramatic techniques and have the confidence to take on lead roles and learn many lines. The Year 1s enjoy the opportunity to perform, and complement the older girls perfectly with their dancing skills. Finally, the Preps demonstrate how far they have cone from those initial shy and hesitant steps in the first few weeks of the School year, by throwing themselves headlong into their roles, this year as Little Miss Sunshines. It truly was a special treat to be able to witness this performance.
