Cirque du Mossley

Cirque du Mossley...........came to town!

Over the last 2 weeks the children in Year 2 have been busy performing in their Cirque du Mossley show. As part of their autumn topic the children learnt a variety of circus acts and magic tricks. They have written poetry, instructions for how to paint a clown face and made 3D shapes from nets in order to store the popcorn. They have created their own posters to advertise their circus and made invites to parents.

Firstly the children performed in front of many parents, grandparents and siblings and because of the success of this they decided they wanted to carry the show on and perform in front of 350 children throughout the school!

We had 'hair-raising' hoola hoopers, jugglers, magicians, singing and many other amazing sights to watch. One of the acts was Jack White reading out his instructions for 'how to paint a clown face' and for this Poppy Wimore's Mummy bravely volunteered to have her face painted by Chiara Potts.

When the children performed it in front of the school Mrs Hodgkinson was the 'unlucky' one to have a clown face painted. The children were treated to a juggling competition between Mr Heades, Mrs Hodgkinson and Mr Johnson and the winner was............ Mr Heades.

We have recieved really kind emails about the event letting us know how much parents and children have enjoyed their learning within this topic. Thank you so much for your continued support throughout. Also a big thank you to everyone that helped to get this show on the road.

Lastly a huge THANK YOU to the children of Year 2 for their enthusiasm, courage and fun!
