Well done to our Year One children (and their teachers), who responded to the challenge to present one of Aesop’s fables in an assembly today. They entertained us with a very lively version of the Grasshopper and the Ants and set the performance bar very high for Y3/4 and Y5/6 who have to follow them over the next few weeks.
As we’ve been focussing on kindness in assemblies of late, it was nice to see that our ants decided – in a vote – that it would be kindest to help the grasshopper right away!
The children acting were fantastic – lovely clear voices and very expressive indeed.
Special mention for Miss Harris, who bravely stepped in to be the grasshopper in the absence of the child originally cast!
There’s a nice version of the fable here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=_svBrlehmMo
