So, this week the window opened for applications for Reception places in primary schools for September 2020. If your child was born between 1 September 2015 and 31 August 2016 you’ll need to apply for their infant or primary school place by 15 January 2020. Too much, too soon? Take Part can assist with your child’s transition to primary school. Got yourself a pre-school drama queen or king, or a tiny, timid little mouse? Then Take Part Tots Saturday class is just for them. Come along make new friends, increase confidence and have loads of fun whilst you’re doing it! Take Part Tots is an introductory class to our ‘Theatrical Experience’ sessions we hold on Saturday mornings. We will be introducing all aspects of theatre skills; singing (learning new age-appropriate ‘show tunes’ and finding out about rhythm, timing and how sounds are formed, dancing (giving our ‘tots’ the confidence to try new dance moves and explore how their bodies can perform) and acting (allowing our budding young actors to role play and practise improvisation and storytelling, developing speech and voice). Parents are welcome to stay, and are encouraged to grab a coffee and watch through the observation window. This helps with independence and confidence, we can come and get you should we need to, but to be honest most of the time you can enjoy a quite brew without any disruption! Perfect for a Saturday morning! Take Part Tots get priority entrance into our Reception class when the time comes.  Classes for Pre-Schoolers (dob 01/09/2015-31/08/2016) are Saturdays 10.15-11.00 at New Mills School, Church Lane (Drama Department – follow the Take Part signs) and are £5/week, paid by standing order.  There’s plenty of parking and easy access for pushchairs and prams. Come along for your free trial this week. For more information please...
