As we find ourselves gearing up for Christmas, the last few weeks have naturally been super busy – not to mention full of our wonderful end of term shows performed over the final few weeks at Harris Academy Morden! We are so proud of all the hard work our students have put into these past 11 weeks: learning script lines, song lyrics and some fabulous choreography. The numerous weeks of rehearsals paid off with the brilliant performances our students were able to share with their friends and family.
Our show schedule was kicked off by the impressive 3-4 year olds who brought explorers on a Bear Hunt to life – full of energy and enthusiasm! Teachers Sophie and Rachel were incredibly proud of their students who were buzzing with confidence in front of their families. Clearly speaking their lines, performing dances with energy and (most importantly!) having fun on stage, all their skills were beautifully displayed at such a young age. We are so proud of them all!
Next up were the 5-6 year old shows who went on a Trip To The Zoo (with run-away lions on the loose!) Highlights included impressive cartwheels and some scarily accurate animal impersonations…! It was great to see our students working together as a strong ensemble to bring these shows to life and showcase thier skills.
Finally, we rounded the term off with a spectacular 7-18’s showing of Breaking the Habit! Each age group their created their own world with strong characters, clear plot and plenty of dance moves. We had Great Gatsby-like glitz and glamour for our oldest students, chaotic cops for our 9-11 year olds and our youngest group played the Blessed Sisters of Mercy who took in the show’s protagonist, there was quite literally something for everybody! (And plenty of laughs.) Performed in our large theatre space It was an impressive end to our 2025 Autumn term which audiences thoroughly enjoyed.
We can’t wait to be back to school on the 17th January and look forward to seeing a wide range of new skills and activites! Come and join the fun next term. Email michael@jigsaw-arts.co.uk or call 0208 657 8067
