09 Dec Year 4 Trip to Lucky Chance Theatre
On Tuesday, Year 4 children were fortunate enough to be invited to The Lucky Chance Theatre in Frome with Vallis Year 4 children to watch a performance of The Little Match Girl put on by Wise Children. The excitement started from the moment we arrived at Vallis, had a little play in the playground and walked up through Frome to the theatre. The actual performance was exceptional. The children described it as “amazing,” “funny,” “excellent,” and “probably the best show I’ve ever seen!”
The sad story of The Little Match Girl was told with a modern twist using homelessness to relate it to our children. The Little Match Girl herself was a puppet, worked beautifully and sensitively by a puppeteer. Every time a match was lit a story was told to warm her up on a cold night. The children loved the naked suit used for The Emperor’s New Clothes and the modern Princess who wouldn’t stand for being tricked by a Prince!
