Excursion to "White"





White Theatre Excursion

On Wednesday the Cooper, Edgerley and Chapple children went to the Festival Theatre to see a performance of White. We all enjoyed this beautiful play and were delighted by the characters Wrinkle and Cotton. The play was perfect for our current unit of inquiry too. After the performance the children shared their thoughts on what they had seen...
“The man was crying, because he want the egg. The man said to the man ‘put the egg in the bin’ because he wanted no red – he counted 1,2,3,4,5” said Owen C.
"He got the egg out of the bin, it was in the bin because he would count to five. And then he sneaked out and got it and the eggs changed colours, and then they looked up and all the colours was coming on their heads” said Henry M.
"Maybe the light is magic so maybe it could make the colours turn. The light is magic" thought Noah.
"Everything was white, white, white, white" said Joshua S.
"They put the egg in the bin and the person got it out in the egg house and all the stuff come out green and blue" remembered Rocco.
"We saw different things. They put everything in their bin and all different colours come out" said William.
At the end of the play we got to talk to the actors and collected confetti from around the stage and everyone went back to kindy with their pockets full of colours! A big thank you to all the parents who helped us on this trip, we hope you enjoyed the play too!
