Following weeks of hard work, Ashton Vale Primary School’s Year 6 leavers performed their own unique and excellent version of The Greatest Showman, with great confidence and pride in front of a hall full of parents and carers.
Ashton Vale reenacted this popular story of PT Barnum’s determination and limitless imagination as he rose from nothing to create the Barnum & Bailey Circus. This wasn’t an easy feat with bumps along the road and seemingly a huge mountain to climb – something depicted in a brilliant fashion by the young cast.
Many of the Year 6s had solo singing parts which they performed admirably and all, without exception, threw themselves into their characters, with obvious respect and support for their classmates.
Brad Arthur, Headteacher at Ashton Vale Primary, said, “I am so very proud of our Year 6s for entertaining the audience with such pizazz and energy. It’s bittersweet for me though as we prepare ourselves to say goodbye, but wish all of the year group a happy and successful next chapter where they will undoubtedly continue to shine.”
