Pupils 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.



The 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.

















Children designed and made many of the costumes. Both performances were very well attended.
