In Arts Award we have been designing the back drop for the show (on image).

School of Rock is this year’s summer show. It is a big project which includes Chantry and Newminster choir as well as some teachers. Some of the teachers we interviewed Miss Larsen, Mr Storey and Mr Todd who have  worked together to make the whole show.

We asked some of the teachers involved some questions and here is what we found out…

What role do you play?

Mr Todd: Ned

Miss Larsen: Summer’s Mum

Mr Story: Dewey Finn

Do you like the idea of co-operating with the students?

Mr Todd: Yes

Miss Larsen: Yes

Mr Storey: Yeah it’s been really good fun so far. I love how talented all of the musicians in our school ( and Newminster ) are.

What is your favourite part?

Mr Todd: The Choir.

Miss Larsen: Everyone coming together and performing, singing and dancing.

Mr Storey: Dewey Finn. He’s a bit of a douchebag who gets a job in a school. The kids and Dewey form a band and get up to all sorts of mayhem.

What is your favorite song?

Mr Todd: ‘ If only you would listen’.

Mss Larsen: ‘ You’re in the band’.

Mr Storey: ‘You’re in the band’ is a great song where the pupils learn how to play electric guitars and drums. It also has a stage dive for me!!!
