Sherlock & Cinders – How to audition!

We are excited to announce that auditions for this year’s school production will be taking place via video submission.

Your child will be bringing home a script for the role or roles they wish to audition for. To take part, they should record a short video of themselves reading for that part (or parts). If they would also like to include singing the relevant song, this can be found on YouTube.

Once recorded, please email your child’s audition video(s) to [email protected] no later than 3rd October.

This approach allows every child the opportunity to audition in a relaxed environment and ensures we can give each submission the time and attention it deserves.

We look forward to seeing the children’s talents shine and are excited to begin casting our production. Thank you in advance for your support in helping your child prepare their audition.

Kind regards,
The Sherlock and Cinders Crew

Class 7 PE!

Class 7 have been practicing their throwing and catching skills today in order to improve their hand eye coordination. We had targets to throw at and then tested ourselves catching. Some of us could even catch one handed and on one foot!
