Year 7 Play in a Week -Treasure Island 2024

Well done to our Year 7 students who've successfully completed their Play in a Week!

They have been working on a version of the musical 'Treasure Island' as a year group project. Starting from learning the lines, the songs, the dance moves to creating the costumes, props, stage, lighting and sound effects – they did it all in a Week!

They did 2 dress rehearsal for Primary students and then on 31^st May the finale, they put on a fabulous performance to their parents. Thanks to all the teachers who worked with them on this ambitious project which helps students learn about teamwork, creativity, resilience, and adaptability.

Our collaboration with The Juilliard School enriches our students’ love of dance, drama and music. This is another great example of how our everyday BSB curriculum inspires students’ creativity, teamwork and resilience.

The Storyline: 'Treasure Island' tells the story of an impulsive and adventurous young boy named Jim who comes across a treasure map. He goes on a journey to try and recover the treasure, which once belonged to the famous Captain Flint. On his journey, he meets Long John Silver, a one-legged cook who ends up leading a pirate mutiny.
