Ticketing and Programmes

For the school show, some Primary 7 pupils have been working with Mrs Gourley to produce tickets and programme for Netherlee’s production of Disney’s Aladdin Jnr. They were concentrated on the task at hand to get everything ready for next week’s show.

 

Here is a sneak peak at the programme design!100_0969

The Actors!

Netherlee Primary School has been busy producing their own school show. Their school show is based on the Disney film Aladdin. Aladdin was a good choice because it has some good characters and songs and acting it out looks AMAZING. When we went to see the actors they were practising every second and looked incredible. They were taking Aladdin to a whole new and better level than the film and that is saying something.100_0967

We went to see them practice and we were fortunate to see them preforming the bread scene at the start of the how, and to be honest I could not see the difference between them and the film! You could tell that the actors had been practising a lot; the guards were ferocious, Aladdin was very fast and the people in the street were very dramatic. Overall the acting is amazing as well as the singing and dancing.100_0965

You should come to this amazing show on the 27th and the 28th of May 2015 but be quick because the tickets will be gone in a flash. It’s worth it and possibly be the best show you’ll see for a long time because the show is already on the road.

Set Design

Mr Duncan’s class are making back drops for the different scenes. They first drew them out before painting them. There are different groups doing different scenes, for example, the market, palace and Cave of Wonders. They are all collaborating to make the wonderful art. It was obvious that they had spent a lot of time on it and needed it for something important.

Other groups were looking up images of magic carpets to draw. They were working hard and had loads of different shades and colours. We interviewed some people creating the drawings to find out what they liked and disliked about their back drop. They told us that they enjoyed their painting (which happened to be the Cave of Wonders). We enjoyed going there because we liked looking at the fantastic paintings. We know that Aladdin is doing well and we hope to have more amazing experiences in the future.100_1508

How we are promoting our show!

Pupils from P6a and P6c were making posters for Netherlee Primary School’s Production of Disney’s Aladdin Jnr. They were looking at posters of other shows for inspiration. We took photos of the making of the posters. Some people were using computers for references to put on their posters. There were some Islamic patterns used because they look like the magic carpet. The people making the posters tried to make the design simple but still look good. The posters looked very nice with the Islamic patterns. Some people drew the main characters on their posters also some people drew the lamp and the genie and used some key colours to represent different objects like gold for the lamp and a yellowish brown for sand. Mr Bryce printed out Aladdin Jnr signs and people were tracing them to get the logo on their posters. They used coloured pens and pencils to brighten up their posters. They discussed different techniques and coulors for their posters. Everyone was working hard and having fun.

 

Have a look at some of our posters below!
