Key Stage Two Christmas Performance at St. Albans
We closed the Autumn term with a festive performance at our local church. Year 6 provided narration and introductions while other year groups provided singing, acting, musical performances and even a rap!
The staff and children of Carr Hill would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and look forward to returning to school on Tuesday 5th January 2010.

A musical Halloween
More children than ever are learning to play musical instruments this year. Several children have chosen guitar whilst whole classes are learning to play the violin or cornet. All this coinciding with our Halloween celebrations made for some interesting photographs of Carr Hill by day and by night.

Gateshead Dance Festival
Once again Carr Hill joined neighbouring schools at the Gateshead Dance Festival. Familiar faces danced as part of the KS2 group. Look at our old dance podcast to see those faces in the same competition in KS1.

Once again Years 1 and 2 were part of the Gateshead Dance Festival 2007. The festival has become an annual event in the Carrhill diary and shows the increasing role that the performing arts holds within school.
Practice sessions after school culminated with the performance at Gateshead Leisure Centre where friends and parents enjoyed a spectacular evening.

Carr Hill steals the show in Eldon Square.
As our reputation for performance spreads, Eldon Square invited us to help launch Christmas 2006. Children from KS1 performed a nativity, accompanied by KS2 singers. BBC televion's Paddy MacDee described us as a truly special school, before introducing the performance. Many Carr Hill parents came along to support us and the general public enjoyed the show.

The Performing Arts at Carr Hill
Most schools take pride in the annual Nativity or other seasonal performances. At Carr Hill these productions take place in the performing arts studio. The space boasts an attached sound room from which both sound and lighting effects are controlled.
Thanks to the work of Joanne Gilmour and Amanda Crooks, Carr Hill has submitted a successful bid for the Arts Mark Gold Award. This award recognises the important role the performing arts play within the school. The performance space provides a venue for gymnastic clubs, visiting theatre groups and film screenings.
