Drama Club’s Grand Slam

I had been looking forward to seeing our Drama Club’s performance of Bugsy Malone, ever since

Miss Collins made mention of it, at the start of 2014. With a rehearsal schedule that included two Sat-

urday afternoons, the level of commitment from cast and crew was exceptional, and well worth it too

as they put on two fantastic performances to packed houses.

Bugsy Malone, set in Chicago, is loosely based on events from the early 1920s to 1931 during Prohibi-

tion, specifically the exploits of real-life gangsters like Al Capone and Bugs Moran.

It was an ambitious project from the outset but skilfully handled by all involved. The cast of sixty did

a remarkable job and clearly enjoyed the experience. The choreographed routines were amazing and

the choral singing stunning. For the principal members of the cast, there were plenty of lines to learn

which were delivered with ease and some amazing accents. Stunning solo performances, to very diffi-

cult songs, included those delivered by: Fern Bentley as Blousey Brown; Claudia Pietrunti as Tallulah;

Eve Ganpatsingh as Fizzy and Lucia Schifano as Casey Joe. Thomas Clarke (as Bugsy Malone) and

Daniel Hall (as Fat Slam) confidently and expertly kept the story flowing, remaining in role through-

out - even when there was foam flying everywhere!

There was a long list of adults who were thanked for their contributions to the show, most notably:

Miss Clifton and Mrs Munson for Scenery; Mrs Thorpe for Lighting; Mrs Dickinson and Miss Nevard

for Choreography and Mrs Johnson for Music. Mrs Huntingford’s life has been all-consumed by

Bugsy in her role as Assistant Director, from casting (which was a very long day!) right through to

the curtain call. I know that Bugsy Malone will live on in the memories of all involved for many years

to come. When Miss Collins started teaching at Tadworth, two and half years ago, she asked if she

could put on a whole school musical and boy did she deliver! Her commitment and contribution to

the Arts at Tadworth Primary School has been incredible, with a term that has included: taking chil-

dren to sing at the O2; a performance by the KS1 choir at the Spring Fair and also the incredible -

‘Bugsy Malone’. Thank you to her and everyone involved. I can’t wait for the next one! JK

CHESS CHAMPIONS &

Lunchtime Chess Club, which is open to all pupils from Years 2 to 6, resumes on Tuesday 21 April for 10 weeks. Enrolment letters are distributed via the school register.

Incident in Tadworth Street

20th March 2015

Surrey Police have been in contact with the

school seeking witnesses to an incident that

happened in Tadworth Street at around 3.10pm

on Friday 20 March 2015. If you believe you can

help please let the school office know.

Easter Arrives Early at Tadworth Primary! What a great success the Spring Fair was, despite the cold weather! The pony rides were hugely popular, the choir sang

beautifully, everyone enjoyed Isla’s Easter Egg Hunt and there was so much more to do.

Congratulations go to Henry (Owls), Adam (Robins), Willow (4SH) and Gya (3C) the winners of the two Colouring

Competitions – it was a tough choice with so many creative and original ideas!

We also had an Easter Bonnet Contest. Some of the entrants are pictured below.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped with set up, manning the stalls and tidy up afterwards. Also a big thank you

for all of the donated gifts we received. It was a great team effort and raised over £1,770 – well done everyone! PTA

Our thanks go to Andree Mottashed, Chrissie Pagham, Diane Reed and Heather Wilson for all their efforts in

organizing this year’s event. JK

What came first the Egg

or the Book!

Huge thanks to all the children who took part in the

Easter Egg Raffle this year. We managed to raise

over £200 for new books. We would like to take the

opportunity to thank the Leslie family for

sponsoring Book of the Month for March (our 50th

anniversary celebration) and also to Mrs Cullip who

kindly donated some large picture books for the

50th anniversary too. If you are interested in spon-

soring Book of the Month, please see Mr Kelly or

myself . You could choose your child’s birthday

month. We look to buy four books to cover the range

of year groups in school and we look for a donation

of around £25. Book of the Month is then highlight-

ed in assembly and a special 50th anniversary name-

plate will be placed in any of the books donated this

year. Sara Cox, Librarian
