Two coaches took excited children, teachers, parents and grandparents off to Nottingham to see Peter Pan. Some of the children (and some of the grownups) had never seen a Pantomime before so it was especially exciting for them.
The inevitable 'are we nearly there yet' queries started a full 12 minutes after we left school! And by the time we reached the theatre all the children were eager to tuck into their packed lunches.
The theatre was jam-packed with school children and the atmosphere was sizzling with anticipation. Boys and girls everywhere were yelling their cheers for the 'goodies' and their 'boos' for the baddies! It was a high energy production that included dancing, singing, slapstick comedy, acrobatics and tons of audience participation. Peter Pan, Wendy, Michael and Peter all took off and flew around the theatre whilst Captain Hook was both menacing and hilarious.
Tired children returned home after a fabulous day out, eager to tell their families all about their trip to the Pantomime.
If you were there today, let us have your comments. What did your children say about today's trip? Would you like this to become an annual treat for the children?
A huge thank you to all those grownups who organised the trip and helped out today - and yes you were all spotted cheering, clapping and booing with gusto!!
