Drama at Derwent Lodge
Drama at Derwent Lodge is an exciting part of the Curriculum where all girls participate fully.
It all begins in Year 3 where we start the term getting to know each other through drama games. This culminates in a Year 3 Christmas production with every girl taking part. We have found this to be a rewarding experience for the girls which increases their confidence.
In Year 4 we work on improvisation and role play in small groups. In the Lent Term we join Yardley Court Year 4 to stage a musical which enables the girls and boys to have fun and work together.
In Year 5 the girls work on role play and improvisation in groups and pairs. This leads onto script work which prepares them for the major production in Year 6.
In Year 6 the girls are extremely confident in drama. We do script reading, solo pieces and group scenarios. The girls are encouraged to express their individual personalities and often surprise themselves and their parents with their talent. Auditions take place for the Summer production and all girls are encouraged to attend giving them all a fair chance to demonstrate their full potential. The highlight of the year is a full scale extravaganza musical which is a tribute to the hard work and enthusiasm that the girls have expressed during their time at Derwent Lodge!
