The Button Box

Kilcreggan Concert 2Pupils at Kilcreggan Primary recently entertained Parents and friends with a production of “The Button Box”. This fun musical is based around a story about two children staying with their grandparents who become bored on a rainy day. They knock Grandma’s button box over spilling an array of buttons onto the floor. They ask Grandma to tell them where all the buttons came from and the story behind each button is revealed in a song.



Kilcreggan Concert 1The P6 and P7 actors took on the roles of Grandma, Grandpa and grandchildren, Jack and Alice. Their dialogue revealed some interesting family history, stories of well-travelled relations and Grandpa’s failed diet attempts.








Song styles and flavours included : Australian Aborigine, Chinese, Jamaican, Irish as well as Music Hall and Sea Shanty songs.

  1. Hi Kilcreggan. Well Done to you all. The photos show what a great time you all had entertaining your audiences and I’m sure it would have been great fun learning all the songs from different countries.

  2. Thank you Kilcreggan for a wonderful school show! All of the children put in fantastic performances but your lead roles were outstanding. Can’t wait for the next one.
