The rural landscape is a remote place with not many people. The one and only thing that I surrounding you is the beautiful, green mountains.

Sadeem and Farah have been working so hard on their Maths, they are now adding and taking away numbers with 4 digits!

Well done you two!

First of all the pantomime started with a song that was fun and catchy. After the song, they introduced a person named Trevor Thomas.Then came out a scientist called professor Petunia . Then they showed us a time machine that actually works. Then a health and safety guard came and Sylvia Slithers, the evil woman. Sylvia Slithers tried to steal the time machine that professor Petunia invented.

She went back in time to steal Alexander Graham Bell’s invention that was the first ever telephone. After that, Thomas went after Sylvia Slithers to stop her  from stealing the invention. They went though the time machine to 1887 to steal the telephone so that Sylvia Slithers can become famous and rich. Soon enough, she stole the telephone and went back to the present day, but Thomas and Alexander Graham Bell went back to 0001. They suddenly encountered a monster and a wizard, and they love singing songs.

Trevor Thomas and Alexander Graham said they need a travel token so they can go back to the present day. The monster said if you sing a song with us then we will give you a travel token, so they sang a song with them and he gave them a infinity token. Then they  travelled back to the present day.

After that, Queen Sylvia Slithers came over to say  that she invented the first telephone. But everyone proved her wrong so that everything can go back to normal. Finally, everything went back to normal and they sang a song to finish things off.
