Year 3 All Achieve Distinctions In Their LAMDA Examinations

At Crescent School, children from Years 3-6 study for the examinations in their Drama lessons as part of the school’s curriculum. After excellent results last year, Drama teacher, Lizzie Woolfenden, challenged Year 3 by entering them for the Introductory level, Stage Two examination. Pupils worked hard in their lessons and at home and enjoyed showcasing their skills to their parents just before they sat their exams in December.

In their examinations, they were judged on interpretation, technique and knowledge. They had to consider their diction, expression and movement and they had to discuss a photo of their family or favourite place, event or animal and then tell the examiner about their favourite activity. The results were received this week and they were outstanding.

Lizzie Woolfenden, comments, “I am delighted with the children’s results, congratulations to them all. They worked really hard and clearly impressed the examiner. What’s great about the LAMDA exams is that they equip the children with communication skills which will serve them throughout life. They also promote an appreciation of literature and poetry and help unlock imagination and creative thinking. I am very proud of all our pupils."
