Last week Upper I put on their production of Hansel and Gretel.

They were very excited to welcome their parents in the audience and share what they had been working on. From the wicked stepmother to the bungling robbers, the whole year group took to the stage; singing, dancing and delivering their lines with enthusiasm and joy. The whole production was fantastic.

‘I enjoyed learning the songs, acting my lines and making people laugh’ – Jasmine, Stepmother

‘I really enjoyed the whole experience of being a wicked woman; wearing the costumes and moving around the stage in character were all great fun. I wish we could do a production every term!’ – Beatrice, Wicked Woman

‘My favourite song was, ‘This Bad Bad Place. I felt really confident about saying my lines and acting on stage’ – Aleeza, Robber

‘I liked all of the songs, but my favourite was ‘Dinner at the Double’. I loved singing and dancing along’ – Thimuthu, Narrator
