Get ready to laugh because our next term is all about COMEDY!

Introducing LAUGH A MINUTE — our brand-new comedy project giving students the chance to explore two very different styles of performance:

🎬 Sketch Comedy for Screen
Creating and performing hilarious sketches for camera, working on comic timing, characters and acting for screen.

🎭 PANTO!
Oh yes we are! Expect big characters, brilliant comedy, audience interaction and all the fun and chaos of traditional pantomime!

From comedy on camera to comedy on stage, Laugh a Minute is going to be packed with performance opportunities, creativity and, of course… LOTS of laughs! 😂

Is your little one starting primary school soon? ✨

Starting school is a huge adventure. New faces, new routines and lots of exciting firsts can feel both thrilling and a little overwhelming.

At PQA Poppets, children aged 4 to 6 build confidence, communication skills and friendships through imaginative stories, songs, movement and creative play. While they’re busy having fun, they’re also developing valuable skills that can help them feel more prepared for this exciting next chapter.

From learning to listen and work together, to finding their voice and growing in confidence, every Poppet is encouraged to shine in their own unique way. 🌟

Ready to discover how Poppets can help your child start school with confidence and a sparkle in their step?
