- I scenario involving bullying had a promising start.
-

- Interviewing was a fantastic idea, this was intended to run as a chat show.

- On reflection the children realised the importance of planning so that the questions were more specific to the topic.
-
- This was also a depiction of bullying however they pulled the story together at the end with demonstration of how a little kindness can change how someone feels.
-
- This was the most successful performance, the boys did great job with a song about how music can bring joy and happiness.
-
- Not only was the rhythm good but in only a few lyrics they got across the benefits of learning a skill that makes you good.
