Giving kids facepaint for their roles - and making sure it's just how they want it - helps ensure they truly OWN their effort and will feel CONFIDENCE in it! At our recent Five Day Play in Newtown, Siblings Rosie & Noah played the lead roles in our different age group mini-plays. Our Year 3-6 students joined forces for a story based very loosely on Beetlejuice, in which Rosie (top) played Mr. Styx. Our K-2 students followed a storyline a little similar to the kids movie 'IF', in which Noah (bottom) played our villain Darkness! Loads of fun! Now, with many from last week asking to save spots for our January 13-17 Five Day Play, we are already taking expressions of interest! Go to www.redroar.com.au ...

Brrrrr! Keep Active & WARM with a spot at the FIVE DAY PLAY in Newtown this July!

22/04/2024

We're thrilled to have just received this feedback from last week's Five Day Play school holiday program in Newtown. It's from Laura, mother of 7 year old Juno, who regularly suffers from bouts of anxiety:

'A wholehearted thank you for being so encouraging and supportive with Juno. It was wonderful to see her thrive and perform so well in the final play – it was divine to see all the kids! I'm in awe of how you approach creative arts in a safe and inclusive environment. We'll be back!'

Red Roar's After School Programs at Erko & Alex Park are booked out, but spots available NOW for Term 2 at Newtown Public School. Email enquiries to: [email protected]. Check us out at www.redroar.com.au

So many more instances than usual throughout Term 1 & 2 of students - especially Kindy, Year 1 & 2 - having sensitivity to loud sounds, and feeling anxious in large group activities. It took us a few weeks to understand that we were probably seeing the results of all the interruptions they'd experienced to their schooling, and, by proxy, to their social lives with peers. We responded swiftly, asking each student with a sensitivity like this to come up with a non-verbal signal to give us if they felt they needed a moment outside to themselves. It's worked a treat so far with most already not needing to signal us, but - bless.

Only in a NEWTOWN Drama Class: Two students improvising a TV Talk Show. The host is interviewing a Super Villain when the Villain becomes suddenly annoyed, announcing: 'Then you leave me no choice: Now I must DESTROY you!' The Host searches immediately for Reason and Dialogue: 'Now look - I don't think that's ...' I'm thinking, what? Advisable? Necessary? But she finishes with more aplomb, taking a great step forward for both non-violence AND the environment: '... SUSTAINABLE!' ... Well of course. Brilliant! :)

Been in a new school (our third) for 7 weeks now. I had to apologise to my Year 3-4's today because as I've been having to ease in a new K-2 teacher, I've had to keep splitting my focus between that class and them, often taking my mob to her class to demonstrate something to the littlies that might inspire and engage them more. So, as we left today, I said: 'All of you scored heaps of Drama points today, but there are no points for me until I catch up on the time I've lost with you all!' In the melee they make rushing out to grab bags and meet parents, one girl called out: 'Points to you for trying though!' Gold.
