Y6 show – The Wizard of Oz
Year 6 performed an amazing show at the end of their time at Holly Park. The show was The Wizard of Oz. The children acted, sang and danced with great enthusiasm. We saw talents that we didn’t know existed! Both casts of children did a splendid job. The scenery and costumes were fantastic. Huge thanks go to Ms Sampson and Mr Carini for all their work and commitment to producing such a great end of year event. Ms Sampson directed the show with huge enthusiasm. The amazing scenery and props were thanks to all of our talented TAs – particularly Ms Ter Horst and Mrs Hurry. What talented people we have at Holly Park!
Thanks to Miss Halil for the teaching the songs to the children and also to one of our governors –Annemarie Thomas for supporting the enthusiasm for the songs. She also recorded the backing track for the performance and played the piano live for some of the performances. Thanks also to Mr Messios and one of the pupils from East Barnet Secondary School who helped with the choreography of one of the routines.

Junior Choir
Our junior choir consisting of Y5 and Y6 children performed this week for their parents and other family members. It was a lovely event – especially as our music festival date was cancelled beyond our control. The children sang songs without music but with body percussion and African drums. They sang their beautiful song from the music festival and a selection of other songs they had chosen themselves. We were also treated to a song accompanied by ukuleles. The sound together was so lovely and there were also some beautiful solo performances. We will be sad to see our Y6 choir members leave and hope that they will join musical activity at their secondary schools. A huge thank you to Miss Halil who has rehearsed the choir so well and brings out lots of musical joy in the children. It was a hard job to resurrect enthusiasm after the festival was cancelled – but she did it!
The Infant Show – The Lorax
The infant show this term was fabulous. The children spoke, sang and danced beautifully. The scenery was superb. We hope that all the infant parents enjoyed it. Every child had a small part to play but together as a team they make up a lovely show. My personal thanks go to the KS1 staff – teachers and all of our teaching assistants for their hard work putting it all together. The show really brought a well-known children’s book to life – albeit our own version of The Lorax! The singing and dancing was joyous and whilst the Year 2 children had the speaking parts, the Year 1 children supported the show with their wonderful singing and dancing.
