What a productive day I had at St John's today! In three hours a group of 13 Year 5 students managed to pull together their own version of a fairytale whodunit called "Who Ate the Gingerbread Man".
The students worked tirelessly in sweltering heat (we were in the conservatory with the sun beating through the roof and windows!) to put together a play that lasted between 10 and 15 minutes. At afternoon assembly the cast of 13 presented their work to the whole school who lapped it up and laughed in all the right places.
Every single member of the group did a fantastic job and they created some really fantastic interpretations of well known fairytale characters as well as a few new creations of their own!
In the end it turned out to be the Ugly Sisters who had committed the crime while the other suspects - Little Red Ridinghood, The Wolf, The Beast and Pinnochio - names were cleared.
It's been a crazy, busy and tiring day but I think everyone involved in Play in a Day today will agree it was worth every second!
