The boys and girl from Kirkcolm P1-5 arrived at school yesterday, ready and raring to go at 8am! We boarded the bus and very quickly burst into Christmas song singing before picking the boys and girls from Leswalt up en route.🚌
We arrived at the Gaiety and took our seats on the balcony overlooking the stage where we were joined by Portpatrick boys and girls. Very shortly after there was smoke and a flash of light as the show quite literally started with a BANG!💥 The Fairy Godmother appeared on the screen and burst into song – it was at this point we knew we were in for a treat 🙂!
We met the cast – including the two ugly stepsisters, who didn’t fail to make the kids (and adults) burst into laughter and sassy Cinderella who certainly could hold her own!
During the break the boys and girls were treated to a delicious ice cream as well as some fabulous music – big thank you to Mrs B for organising this.🍦
The show continued and so did the laughs – Bubbles got the crowd going with plenty of crowd interaction “oh no he didn’t!” “oh yes he did!”; “he’s behind you” as well as song singing and dancing opportunities.. The balcony looked and sounded like a scene from the Barbie Movie💃🕺
The panto finished as Cinderella got her prince and off we went to get our Burger King! 🍔🍟 The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed this little treat before heading back to the bus to come home – some even managed a wee snooze on the way home.
Just like Cinderella, we are very thankful to have got our happily ever ending after the disappointment on Friday! 💗
A huge thank you to the Parent Council who paid for the Panto tickets and transport costs – we are so thankful for this fabulous experience; and a big thank you to the school for the yummy ice cream and Burger King. Finally, thanks again to George, Vicky and Sheila for coming along and all of their help 🙂
