Leavers' Play

Leavers' Play

Each year, the children of Branscombe school support the Year 6 leavers in performing their ‘Leavers’ Play’. This year’s play, “Eddie the Penguin Saves the World” was linked to the Class 2 topic of Water and the Environment, with strong themes of conservation. The story told of Eddie and his family of penguins travelling around the world on a mission to challenge humans about the various causes of global warming and stop their ice from melting. The theme was further expounded in several catchy songs and through the posters the children had made to form part of their scenery. The children, having rewritten and ‘customized’ the play during their Literacy learning about play scripts, performed their parts with great enthusiasm and enjoyment. The play was followed, as is traditional in Branscombe, with the presentation of awards and a farewell for the Year 6 pupils leaving primary school this year.
