Goldilocks and the Three Bears

At Avonmore Primary School all the teachers and pupils are busy learning lines and making props for the Christmas production. Since the scripts went out it was just memorising, memorising and even more memorising. All of the school is nervous about the play because they’re not sure what will happen. The dress rehearsal is next week so it’s a rush to bring in costumes and make props such as: a tea cup, a television and changing scene signs. I have two parts: one part, I walk around holding a sign with a few fellow classmates: for my other part, I play Jack from Jack and Jill. No one wants to slip up on the night in front of parents and classmates. The play is hilarious with many dramas. All the parents want to see their children on the stage doing their best. I think the parts were chosen well after the auditions and the main characters are trying their best to put movement into their acting and are learning their lines well. But we had such little notice for the play and we have the least time to prepare as now changes are still being made and there’s a Christmas party so people have to bring in fizzy drinks, savoury party foods, and sweet party food so this year 6 has to learn their lines at home. There’s only about 1, 2 or 3 rehearsals left so all the children have to practise at home as well as school!
