REIDY Park Primary School students explored the world of science in a creative and immersive fashion this week on the stage at the Sir Robert Helpmann Theatre.
Developing their acting skills over the past six weeks, the Year 4 and 5 students came together to perform their own play, titled The Science Project, on Wednesday night.
A collaboration between four classes and written by music and performing arts teacher Andrew Bone, the play was a chance for students to further develop their knowledge of science.
“The theme of science really linked in with the school’s curriculum with the same group of students hosting a science fair earlier in the year,” Mr Bone said.
“It is a great opportunity for students to develop their skills in areas outside of the classroom.”
Impressed with the skills of all 110 students involved, Mr Bone said they had received excellent feedback from family and friends present on the night.
“The standard of these kids is amazing, some had to learn pages and pages of dialogue and still really excelled,” he said.
“They worked so well together with each class performing two acts each and then a big start and finish with all students.
“The performance is a big part of the performing arts class and students always really look forward to taking part.”
