M6 Theatre performance
M6 Theatre performed “One little word” for our Foundation stage and Year 1 children. It truly was a superb production which was completely performed with no words apart from one. The singe word that was spoken towards the end of the performance was ‘sorry’.

The children watched the performance with interest. Two members of M6 theatre acted out the story which was about sharing and playing fairly.

Towards the end, children were invited to play in the boat which they helped to make.

A hoola hoop was the steering wheel which the chosen Captain used to steer the boat and foam tubes were used as oars and telescopes.

Congratulations to M6 Theatre for a stunning and remarkable performance.
