The NutCracker

Remember the Cinderella play from last year? Well this year we had Kim the actor/director who came to all the classes to act out scenes from The NutCracker! 
He told us our job was to participate in the scenes to help tell the story! Kim came prancing in and music started playing.











This is the first scene. It is about the Snow Queen who delivers presents to the President, his wife and children. This story is set in Russia. Clara, one of the daughters, gets a Nutcracker and takes it to bed and dreams about the nutcracker coming to life and turning into a Prince. The year 3s got to act out this scene.

The next scene was when Clara and the Prince went to Winter Wonderland. Regan (the Prince)was the lucky person to hold Reyana's (Clara) hand!  Year 1 and 2 acted this scene.  They pretended they were snowflakes falling on the ground, all around Clara and the Prince.

They then caught the "train" (all the year 6s) to Vladivostok through St Petersburg and a few other plaves, to Moscow. They got off the train in Ukraine and the Yr 5s got to do a dance with imaginary horses. 






Finally there was the dance with flowers which was the Yr 1s and 2s . 

We said abig thank-you to Kim. Back at class we discussed the story and we all agreed that it was a really good show.

  2. Who took the photos guys? Perhaps when you put who wrote the post you could put who the photographer was too? This would make it more like a professional text - like a book always says who illustrated it, or photos by ....?? Ms. D x
