Somebody's been sitting in my chair!

As part of our work here this year we have directed and performed an English play each term to an audience made up of the Primary classes. Our most recent production, Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, was our most successful. With the help of star actresses Berta, as Goldie Locks, and Clara, as the narrator, we managed to bring this classic story to life. Due to our bearish appearance, our roles were obvious - James as Daddy Bear and Brendon as Baby Bear - along with Mummy Bear Jemma.

Clara and Jemma practice their lines.

Joe couldn't resist taking part, involving himself as a kind of opening act in which he interrogated the students with questions about the play! He also chose the soundtrack to our play: the English ska band Madness!

At the end Berta and Clara found themselves with a group of young fans (pictured above) who had clearly loved their great performances!

A big thanks to Gregó for the fantastic costumes:

Even though it was difficult, we managed to grin and bear it. I apologise for that joke...it was unbearable.
