Year 5 - Weymouth Pavilion Poetry Performance
On Wednesday 30th April, our talented pupils took to the stage at Weymouth Pavilion to perform Thomas Hardy’s The Darkling Thrush – and what a performance it was!
With confidence, expression, and a real sense of drama, the children brought Hardy’s haunting winter poem to life in front of a delighted audience. Their understanding of the poem’s themes shone through, and their clear voices and thoughtful delivery made it a truly memorable moment.
But the highlight for many was the original rap the children created about Thomas Hardy himself! With clever rhymes and catchy rhythms, they shared facts about Hardy’s life and work in a fun and engaging way.
We are incredibly proud of all the children who took part. Their hard work, creativity, and teamwork were on full display, and they represented our school brilliantly. A huge thank you to those of you who came along to support the event – and to Weymouth Pavilion for hosting such a special occasion.
