DRAMA On Thursday 9 th February Tiffin School's production of Shakespeare's 'The Comedy of Errors' came to its all-neon disco-pop finale. It was the first whole school production to be performed in the Drama Studio and it proved a huge success, continuously boasting large audiences. The fantastic performances from all actors and actresses and the retro style brought this Ancient Greek text to the 1980s, breathing new life into one of Shakespeare's earliest plays. Yet another incredibly enjoyable Tiffin production, Wham-packed with disco tracks, filled with audiences like a Flock of Seagulls, it was far better than any night out at the Spandau-ballet (these references are not for those with Simple Minds. A-Ha ha ha). Huge congratulations to all involved.

GEOGRAPHY DAY OUT

On Tuesday 28 th February, all the Year 12 geographers travelled to the heart of London to experience the effects of change on the city and how history has impacted on the buildings and the locals throughout the years. This journey took us through parts of the capital that many of us had never experienced before and provided unique insight into the changes that certain parts of London had undergone. One of the most interesting factors of change was the migration of people into London who had fled persecution and war and brought aspects of their culture with them. It was amazing to see evidence of this in the form of a mosque that has once been a synagogue and a church before that. We ended the day in Petticoat Lane, with a fresh view of the city that so many of us thought we knew .
