At the end of last year, the Bradfields Drama Club entertained audiences with their performances of “Written in the Stars”. This show was a theatrical revue of songs and acted scenes around the themes of Love Luck and Fate. Particular highlights included Bethany and Zoe singing “I wish I may” from the Witches of Eastwick with Miss Churchward. We also had a good laugh with Bradley, Mazdon and Victor portraying Blackadder and the two eccentric actors who daren’t mention the name of the Scottish Play!

On Friday 9th November, the Bradfields Community came together to mark 100years since the end of World War 1. There were many workshops taking place exploring the impact of the war on different areas of life. 3 of these workshops explored how the war impacted on the Arts. Students took part in Poetry, Music and Painting exercises designed to both entertain and provoke thoughts of remembrance.

You could make your own WW1 inspired painted pebble!

You will need: A smooth stone or pebble Strong white paint. Coloured paints. A medium paint brush. A small paint brush.

Step 1. Wash and dry your pebble so that it is clean.

Step 2. Use the medium brush to paint your pebble white and leave it to dry.

Step 3. Use the small brush to paint your pebble design.

You can use these designs to inspire yours.
