Theatre Excursion


A Lion In The Night
This week four year old students enjoyed the opportunity to leave the centre and get out and be a part of the Norwood community. They walked up the Parade to visit the Odeon Theatre to see the Patch Theatre Company play A Lion in the Night loosely based on the familiar tale of the same name by Pamela Allen.
This abstract interpretation was definitely a challenge for both our students and adult helpers alike and it will be interesting to see, as we share the stories of Pamela Allen in the coming weeks, how the children make connections between their familiar version and the version presented by the actors. Thankyou so much to all the adult helpers who joined us, and those who prayed for the rain to stay away. Our prayers were answered and the rain poured down, minutes after returning to the centre! How lucky!
