• Junior 1 Creative Arts Workshop: Ancient Egypt Comes to Life

  Fri 09 Jan 2026

  This week, our Junior 1 pupils have enjoyed an exciting and inspiring two-day drama workshop with Milly from Open Doors Creative Arts, culminating in a wonderful performance of The Girl with the Rose Red Slippers.

  This ancient Egyptian tale is believed to be an early forerunner of the Cinderella story, and it provided a fantastic introduction to the children’s new Ancient Egypt topic. Through drama, movement and storytelling, pupils explored the characters, setting and themes of the story in an engaging and memorable way.

  Over the two days, the children worked incredibly hard, developing their confidence, creativity and teamwork skills. They enthusiastically took on roles, practised scenes and helped shape the final performance, showing great focus and cooperation throughout.

  The final performance was a real celebration of their efforts and showcased just how much they had learned in such a short time. The children were proud of what they achieved and thoroughly enjoyed bringing an ancient story to life.
