Hansel and Gretel Theatre Trips


Year 3 children enjoyed a trip to see a performance of Hansel and Gretel at Derby Theatre on 6th December 2018.  We were the first group of school children to arrive at the theatre and were seated straight away. The children were an absolute credit to our school, waiting patiently, full of anticipation and excitement. They watched in awe as the cast of about eight performers not only acted but also sang, danced and played a variety of musical instruments. It really brought to life the story that we had been reading in English earlier that week.   The ice-creams in the interval were a big hit too! A fantastic performance with fantastic children and super organisation by Derby Theatre.To round of an extremely busy and exciting first term, Years 4 and 5 went to watch Hansel and Gretel at Derby Theatre. We knew we were in for a treat when we arrived, with front row seats and a magnificent set design! We watched with great anticipation as the trail of breadcrumbs led us into the deep, dark forest, where we were then greeted by a delicious house made of sweets! However, we held tightly to our seats, as the wicked witch soon had us under her spell!

We all thoroughly enjoyed the magical and enchanting production of this well-known fairy tale and we all managed to escape the forest and get back to school in time for lunch, without being cast under the wicked witch's spell!
