Panto – Scunner Who Stole Christmas

The Scunner Who Stole Christmas

 

Gaiety Theatre Characters, Dame Hylda and Jock the Joker visited the school on 16th  December and engaged the children in a short performance which was video and send to the Gaiety.  We will be one of the five schools who appear in the finale episode of the panto performance of the Scunner who Stole Christmas.

The Kingdom of Ayrshire and Arran has been cursed by Dourina the Soorfaced Sorceress – she’s stolen the Pantomime Recipe Book and cancelled Christmas. Only joy, togetherness and adventure can conquer Dourina’s evil plan and save the day – but with Princess Neat and Prince Tidy keeping their distance; how can Christmas ever be saved? Can Fairy Handwash remember the magic recipe and find the ingredients she needs in our community to save the Kingdom? Can Dame Hylda Rerrterr, behave on Tour? And will Jock the Joker ever crack a one-liner we approve of?

The children have watched episodes 1-3 in school so please use the link below to watch the final 2 episodes at home on Wednesday and Thursday.

Within maths, we have been looking at various ways of multiplying and dividing, up levelling our  information handling by using digital technologies and exploring fractions!  ➗✖️➖➕

Within  literacy, we have been developing our writing through talk for writing. The focus this term has been a ‘quest tale’, based on the text ‘alien landing’. Pupils have been working hard to perfect the use of direct speech and how to create suspense in their story writing. Our classes love joining in with our weekly debates, sharing their views and opinions on relevant, topical matters. 👽

Every week we praise the pupils for their hard work and enthusiasm, what an amazing place to work and learn!!! Go team 6/5! ✨✨✨🌙🌙🌙💫💫💫
