Thank you!

We voted on our P7 show and tried out the first scene in small groups.  It’s going to be fabulous.

And if your feet land in between the cones you have to do 20 jumping jacks! Then after that we played another warm up called “poison ball”. How it worked was that there were 6 people and everyone else was at the back wall. The 6 people had to roll footballs and the rest of the people had to run across without getting hit by the ball. If you did get hit you would become one of the poison people. In the afternoon some of our parents came and the class were doing suffragettes activities. The pupils whose parents didn’t come had to do the green activities and the pupils’ parents who did come had to do the purple activities. It was fun!
