Year 7 pupils at Ysgol Eirias enjoyed an unforgettable day of music, creativity and inspiration when 'Britain's Got Talent' finalists 'Han & Fran' visited the school to lead an exciting performance work shop.
The day began with a fascinating question-and-answer session, where Han & Fran spoke about their journey on *Britain's Got Talent*, what life has been like since appearing on the show, and the opportunities that have come their way. They also shared an important message with pupils: with hard work, determination and self-belief, they can achieve anything they set their minds to.
Following the Q&A, the duo led an energetic vocal workshop, introducing pupils to the same warm-up exercises and techniques they had learned from professional vocal coaches during their time on 'Britain's Got Talent'. The workshop gave students a unique insight into the preparation and discipline required by professional performers.
Pupils then learnt the words and a short routine to the hit song "Mamma Mia",before being challenged to work together to create their own choreography. The workshop encouraged teamwork, confidence and creativity, with every group bringing their own ideas and energy to the performance.
The day concluded with "Eirias Has Talent," where pupils showcased their own acts on stage in front of their peers. The performances demonstrated an incredible range of talent, including Morris dancing, a scene from "The Lion King", comedy sketches, dance routines, a creative recreation of a football match, and a spectacular gymnastics and dance performance to "Let It Go" from "Frozen"—a fitting preview of Ysgol Eirias' production of "Frozen Jr", which will be performed in December 2026.
It was wonderful to see so many pupils trying everything set to them, supporting one another and celebrating each other's talents throughout the day.
Han from the duo said, "We had a fantastic day at Eirias School working with some of the year 7's. Mrs Howell organised our workshop so well and you could see how much the students loved her. The students really participated and stepped out of their comfort zones which was wonderful to see, they were brilliant.
After our day at Eirias, we saw how much of an asset to that school Mrs Howell is and how she is truly great at what she does. She thinks so much of the students."
A huge thank you to Han & Fran for generously giving their time, enthusiasm and expertise to inspire our Year 7 pupils. Their visit was an unforgettable experience that encouraged students to be creative, confident and ambitious.
We look forward to welcoming Han & Fran back to Ysgol Eirias for many more exciting events and workshops in the future.
