Lower Primary Classes Sparkle on Parents Day

All the Lower Primary classes in the Johannesburg East branch of the Helen O'Grady Drama Academy treated the parents to a sparkling show. Part of their performance was to act out a "Mime to Music" which is a story to music which involved movement skills including time and space awareness as well as listening skills. We encourage our children to understand that good body coordination is as important as vocal skills in developing self confidence and being a great actor.
The children acted out "The Christmas Decorations" and impressed their parents as they pretended to be decorations popping out of the Christmas decoration box on Christmas eve and at midnight made their way onto the christmas tree.Check out some of our children in action !
