Giraffes Can't Dance Performance at the Regent Theatre

Last night we presented our production of 'Giraffes Can't Dance'. Check out the amazing photographs below.

I am so proud of our whole school - you all put a lot of effort and work into the performance - well done! And a huge thanks goes to all of the parents and helpers who helped out with taking students to and from rehearsals, costumes and make-up - it is hugely appreciated.

Gerald was a tall giraffe whose neck was long and slim, but his knees were awfully bandy and his legs were rather thin. He was good at munching shoots of tree, but when he tried to run around he buckled at the knees.
The animals came together to do a Jungle Dance! Gerald felt sad because when it came to dancing he was really very bad.
The warthogs started waltzing!
The rhinos rock 'n' rolled!
The baboons swung together for a splendid Scottish Reel!
The chimps all did a Cha Cha with a very Latin feel!
And the lions did a Tango that was elegant and bold!
The cricket helped Gerald get his groove by finding the right music for him - 'Play that Funky Music!'
All the animals came together - they were so amazed with Gerald's new dance steps! "It's a miracle! We must be in a dream. Gerald's the best dancer that we've ever seen!".

  2. Dear Room 1
    Thank you for showing the photos of your production. B4 were excited to see the big giraffe mask that you showed us when you skyped with us.
    Did each class get to one type of dance each?
    You all looked very proud of yourselves in the last photo.

  3. Dear Mrs Bismark and Room 1
    We would love to see your video when it is done. Will you post it on your blog page? We could see it there if you do.
    We had our 'Repertory for Kids' at the end of term 2, and at the end of the year we will have our 'Celebration of Learning' which combines prize-giving for the Year 10 - 13 students with items from the Year 1-9 classes.
    Follow the link on our name and you can watch our videos of the plays.
    What do you do for the end of year?
    from Mrs McKenzie and B4

  4. Room 1 - What an amazing production that it must have been, it looked like there was a huge amount of work that had gone into it. I had two favorite pictures, the one of the person carrying the Giraffe Head, that looked spectacular and dominate and secondly I also really liked the one of the Boy playing the Violin, although I couldn't see it I imagined the sounds that he was making.
