POWNALL HALL SCHOOL

MATILDA SUMMER SCHOOL WORKSHOP

Monday 20th to Thursday 23rd July 2026

Our “Young Echoes” will join the revolt and explore the story of a girl who proves that even if you’re little, you can do a lot! The theme of Matilda celebrates the power of the imagination, the importance of kindness, and the bravery to change your own story. It’s an empowering, high-energy week designed to help every child find their “inner genius” and build incredible confidence.

What’s in store?

  • “Cheeky” Choreography: Learn high-energy dance routines to popular songs like Revolting Children and When I Grow Up.
  • Storytelling & Drama: Diving into character work – from the “maggots” in the classroom to the formidable Miss Trunchbull!
  • Matilda’s Library Crafts: Creating “Newt” jars, personalised book covers, and chocolate cake props.
  • Telekinetic Games: Fun team challenges that test “brain power” and focus (with a little bit of Matilda’s magic).
  • The Grand Finale: A “graduation” performance on the last day to showcase the children’s amazing work.

The “Crunchem Hall” Rules:

  • Be Brave: Even if you’re “little,” your voice matters!
  • Be Kind: Look out for your fellow classmates.
  • Be Creative: Use your imagination to solve any problem.

Important Details:

  • What to wear: Comfortable clothes for dancing and moving (school-style socks or ties are optional for extra fun!).
  • What to bring: A packed lunch (but watch out for Bruce’s chocolate cake!), snacks and a water bottle.
  • Address: Carrwood Road, Wilmslow SK9 5DW.
