Frodsham Manor House have held their annual summer production with 127 children performing virtually aged 7-11.

Thursday 15 July was the evening the "Festival of Musicals" went live on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Families were invited to watch from home on their screens with snacks and picnic rugs creating a festival feel.

We were hoping to have a festival picnic out of doors with a big screen but in order to maintain our bubbles we needed to have a plan B.

Each class from Key Stage Two learnt a number of pieces with dance routines and some using green screen technology from a variety of musicals including Beauty and the Beast, The Greatest Showman, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mamma Mia, Bugsy Malone and Grease.

Many children also volunteered to sing solos.

The show also included a concert from the Year 5 class - who have free woodwind and brass lessons - to show the progress they had made throughout the year.

The final piece was dedicated to Captain Tom and all four classes learnt British Sign Language for "You'll never walk alone" from Carousel.

One happy viewer said: "Fabulous summer concert, just what we all needed to make us smile. Thank you to everyone involved, you always go above and beyond."

Other recent Manor House events have also included the Year 6 party and Leavers' Assembly, which was Zoomed live to families, friends and the rest of the school.
