Last Friday, 3rd February children in Y2 and Y5 thoroughly enjoyed a ‘Victorian Glee Day’ with Matt Baker, a famous musical theatre producer, to support their learning in History. The highlight of the show involved the children enthusiastically performing a variety of Victorian songs to celebrate Blackpool’s past.

Schools Alive

martonadmin — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:14:36 +0000

Congratulations to Class 5B, our School Choir and Dance Club for their magnificent performance of ‘Oliver’ for Schools Alive at the Grand Theatre last Thursday evening. A special well done also, to Teigan who represented Marton in Blackpool Youth Band’s performance. For many of the children, this was their first public show and they were an absolute credit to our school. I feel extremely proud of them all.

I am sure you will all join me in thanking Mrs Brookes, Mrs Walton, Mrs Docherty, Mrs Forshaw and Mrs Hammond for all their dedication and hard work in rehearsing with the children. Thank you also to Mrs Norbury, Mrs Whitaker and Mrs Cox for accompanying the children to this event and to Mrs Kippax for making costumes and accessories.
