• Tension Builds as Votes are Counted

  Thu 12 Dec 2019 Fiona Taylor

  General Election Day

  As there is a General Election being held today and it is the first time one has been held in the UK in December for almost 100 years, the Year 6 pupils requested to hold an election to help the younger pupils understand what was happening.

  A mock election was held in the school hall and five political parties were represented.

  Firstly, the Conservative Party led by Fred and Archie spoke about their promises for the people of our country should they be elected. They were followed by the Labour Party, led by Sapphire and thirdly, the Liberal Democrats, led by Emma and William. 

  Next the pupils heard from Brexit Party, led by Emily and finally Lola presented the ideas from the Green Party.

  Wearing costumes, sharing films they had prepared beforehand, showing posters and waving their mascots, all the parties worked hard to gain the votes.

  It was a close race and, after a recount, the Green Party won by only two votes. Well done Year 6 for helping the pupils to understand a little about what is happening in our country today.

  

• 2019 Christmas Show

  Thu 12 Dec 2019 Fiona Taylor
  Olivia, a Victorian Musical, was performed to parents and friends of pupils attending Bridekirk Dovenby School at The Wave Theatre  in Maryport. There  were 70 pupils in the performance and every single one of them played their part with confidence.

   

   This brilliant and innovative show traced the steps of Olivia, from downtrodden orphan to star of the stage. On her journey to the bright lights of London, she was befriended by Eliza Doolittle [from "My Fair Lady"] and, after a series of adventures, became  a singer in a new Gilbert and Sullivan show, thanks to the unlikely assistance of Fagin and The Artful Dodger.

  Rosie Walker played the main part of Olivia with confidence. Both singing and acting were of a high standard and she was supported by Archie Campbell playing Fagan and Lola Cann playing the part of Eliza; helping Olivia to find her mother Annie, played by Beth Zaninetti.
