Hampton Elementary put on a spaced themed learning night last tuesday. The purpose of learning night was to have fun and learn about space. All the activities were very fun and inclusive. Some of our favorite rooms were the gym which hosted an obstacle course The arts and crafts were also fun. In the library, students used water pens to color objects in space. In room One, students used plastic water bottles to make space dioramas. Students and families really enjoyed learning night. Hopefully they’ll have another one next year.

The Hampton Drama Club performed "SpongeBob Jr." the musical the last two weekends in the Hampton gym. The drama club started rehearsals in September. Students auditioned for roles and were cast, and then they started coming two days a week after school. At auditions, students could sing a prepared song and read some sides. "I sang 'Happy Birthday'," said Brielle L. During rehearsals cast members learned new songs, blocking, and dancing. "It was really fun but quite hard at the same time," said Leah D. On Tuesdays, the cast generally learned dancing on Thursdays, they did music and blocking. "It was hard singing because if you get stage fright, you might be scared," said Abby J. Students were expected to memorize all of their blocking, songs, lines, and dances. Besides rehearsals, they had to practice at home. "Practice, lots of practice. We started in September and tomorrow is March, so lots and lots of practice," said Hannah J. Several Hampton teachers and staff helped with the production. Mr. Willmore was the director, Mrs. Fletcher was the music director, Mrs. Barboza was the choreographer, Mrs. Wahlstrom and Mrs. Patek were production managers, and Mrs. Towner created the sets. The cast performed four shows over two weekends. Lots of people in the community attended and really enjoyed it. "I like how the cast stood near the audience and blew bubbles. It wasn't quite interactive, but I liked how they engaged the audience," said Mrs. Rees, a fourth-grade teacher. Many Hampton parents attended the show and were excited to see their children perform. "It was good how everyone was singing nice and loud," said Mrs. Joyce, a fifth-grade parent. The Drama Club doesn't know yet what the play next year will be, but they encourage students to try out. "Well, I joined the play to face my stage fright, so if you have stage fright, you should join the play to face your fears," Brielle L. said. Hopefully next year, many students will be involved in the next Hampton Drama Club production. |
