For many months, the Year One's and Two's have been preparing for the 'Key Stage 1' production of Hansel and Gretel.
Alexander had a role as a narrator, and many of his friends had other key roles in the production. Cameron, being in Year 1, was in the chorus. Alexander had the luxury of wearing jeans and a special T-Shirt. Nicole was quite relieved he wasn't a woodland animal like a bear, lion, or other creature.
Whilst Cameron in the chorus had to dress up as a lolly or biscuit!
Nicole and Sonia shopped together and managed to get a stripey red and white hat and t-shirt and a pair of red leggings, so both Cameron and Bradley looked like candy canes. A great and easy idea - no elaborate costumes to make!
The show was a great success, running on Tuesday and Thursday night. Alexander's friend Yasmina played the part of the witch, and really stole the show! Alexander could take his script on stage and just read his lines, but he didn't! As per his 'performance' in the 'Stars of the Future' last year, he took to the stage with his usual flair - knew all his lines off by heart and embellished with impromptu actions to support his lines! He had a great time, he loves performing. He and Emily were great narrators.
Cameron and Bradley sang their hearts out (and giggled and talked to each other, sometimes it can be boring in the chorus!).
After each performance it was off to our favourite ice cream shop, Mauritius, for a celebratory ice-cream then home to bed!
