Year 7’s “Play in a Day” – A Journey Through Space and Time
On Tuesday 5 November, this year’s Year 7 cohort embarked on the eagerly awaited "Play in a Day" project, where they worked together to create an imaginative Drama and Dance performance themed around space and time travel.
Throughout the day, the students devised scenes that took them on a thrilling mission to save St Gabriel’s history, which had been swept into a black hole after an asteroid hit their spaceship, Gabriel. Using an array of theatrical techniques, the students brought this adventure to life, from moving in slow motion through space to creating powerful tableaux of our school’s past. They also explored flashbacks to recreate pivotal historical moments linked to St Gabriel’s.
The performances from both Year 7 classes were exceptional. The pupils showcased their creativity, teamwork, and performance skills, delivering a final piece that was as inspiring as it was entertaining. Well done, Year 7!
