The Peace Child!

As I'm sure you've been aware this week, both year 3 and 4 have been hard at work perfecting their easter production - The Peace Child.

A story about two warring tribes in the vibrant, mystical land of Mambica has been pretty much all year 4 have thought about these past few weeks. The two tribes - the Sotongis and the Wannakeekees - live opposite each other on the banks of a river. Both tribes are taught to hate the other, and fierce rivalries sit between the two. That is until one day, something very unusual happens. A news reporter from a far away land comes to visit the tribes and, despite the protests of both tribe leaders, decides to build a bridge across the river. Surely this will mean war?!

I must say I have been extremely impressed with how hard year 4 have worked to ensure this play was a success. We've been learning the songs for weeks, and the past few days have been completely non-stop rehearsing and performing. Despite the pressure, year 4 have performed brilliantly, and I wanted to say a huge well done to them, and a big thank you to all the families for supporting the children through a tough week!

As the song goes (which I'm going to have stuck in my head for the rest of the year!) "The critics, can't miss it, I tell you we've got a hit!". And I think we do! Even the CEO of the Greenwood Dale Trust came to see our performance and tweeted about how much he enjoyed it!
