Bravo to our Year 1 King's Ely Acremont Pre-Prep pupils for their dazzling End of Year Performance, 'Flutterpillar'! 

Families and friends of Team Year 1 came together in the Hayward Theatre to witness them perform the endearing story through acting, singing, words, and smiles aplenty.

'Flutterpillar' is the tale of a caterpillar who wishes she could be a butterfly. She tries fluttering her legs, but that just makes the animals laugh. "You'll never be a butterfly," they say. "You’ve got no wings!" Trying to be kind, they suggest that perhaps she is a Flutterpillar, although of course there is no such thing. Wanting a better view of the butterflies, Flutterpillar climbs up into a bush. As she hides among the leaves to keep safe, something magical happens. Her caterpillar skin starts to shed and a chrysalis begins to form. Safe within her chrysalis, Flutterpillar has a good rest. When it is time for her to wake up, she has turned into a butterfly. Her dream has come true! 

From wise owls to dancing sunflowers, and a digging mole to bouncy bunny rabbits, Year 1 performed their absolute hearts out and wowed us all with their talent and tenacity.

Well done, Year 1. Thank you to all Year 1 staff for their constant nurture and guidance, and of course our parents and carers for their support too - we could not do it without you!
