Year 7 Arts Week

Director of Music, Mrs Madden, tells us more:

“Year 7 enjoyed a fantastic week of creative and artistic activities during Arts Week. We are so proud of them for enthusiastically throwing themselves into such a wide range of experiences, many of which they had never tried before!

The students worked in groups of 20 children who had chosen the same artistic pathway – they loved making new friends and exploring new ideas with like-minded people and professional experts.

Throughout the week, the Year 7s excelled at projects in school such as Ceramics, DJing, Band Skills, Music Theatre, Circus Skills, Music and Media, Stop Motion Animation and Drama. Every group also enjoyed a trip to Z-Arts in Hulme, where they took part in Drumming, Dancing and Spoken Word workshops, as well as playing on the park and taking turns on the swing.

Several groups also experienced cultural trips to Manchester city centre, visiting HOME theatre, Castlefield Viaduct, Central Library, Manchester Art Gallery and the Bridgewater Hall. They were all superb ambassadors for Trinity.

On the final day, over 120 students performed live on stage as part of our Celebration Showcase event, with acting, dancing, singing, poetry and bands showing off the skills they had learned throughout the week, to rapturous applause! We also enjoyed a slideshow of their incredible sculpture and movie work and awarded Stars of the Week to over 25 students who were
nominated for embracing all the opportunities so enthusiastically and demonstrating Trinity Together values all week.

A wonderful time was had by all and we hope the Year 7s have made memories for life and discovered new interests and creative flair. Congratulations to all the children and thank you to the staff and visiting tutors, who helped make it such a fun week.”
