Thank you Sergio, Hodan and team for making a delicious last meal for our amazing year 6 children!

MISERY ACADEMY To celebrate Year 6's final week at Mandeville, parents and families were treated to their adaptation of the musical 'Oliver'. The story began at a horrible school, Misery Academy, where the children received nothing but gruel to eat and the teachers were incredibly strict. After being expelled from this school for daring to ask for more food at lunchtime, our protagonist, Oliver, found himself here at Mandeville. Unfortunately, however, he fell in with the wrong crowd: a gang of students who were stealing from teachers. Luckily, with the support of Marc and his colleagues, Oliver was able to work his way out of this tricky situation and find some real friends. The acting was of the highest quality throughout with moments of laugh out loud hilarity combined with some genuinely touching scenes. Whether they were in all of the scenes or just had a few lines, everyone on stage clearly knew what they were doing and how they could contribute to the overall performance. All of this was enhanced by some fantastic singing and choreography. It was clear that the children had worked incredibly hard to bring all of this together. At the end, they all received a well-deserved and rapturous round of applause. What a way to sign off on their time here at Mandeville! "I loved the bit where Malakai, playing Marc, started dancing on stage. It was hilarious!" Tidiane "It was great watching Jayden D's enthusiasm as he played the role of Dodger." Olive "When I jumped on the stage to stare at Mustafa P, playing Oliver, it hurt a bit but got a great laugh from the audience." Jayden D "My favourite song to sing was 'Where is Love' because it showed how well we could sing together." Semi "I had to be brave when walking up to the audience and 'threatening' them, but seeing their reactions made it easier." Emir Watching the Year 6 leavers' assembly was a mix of pride,laughter, and a few 'how did they grow up so fast? Jodie "The year 6 adaptation of Oliver Twist was fantastic! All the children stayed in character and had the audience belly laughing!" Katherine
