Finally the expected day arrived! The “Jumping ducks” theatre company came to our school!
Both shows were exactly what we were waiting for. Actually we had a very good time.
As the company says, we can learn English through musical theatre, in a playful, entertaining and effective way. Besides, children can sing, laugh and above all participate spontaneously.
All this is important, but without forgetting the quality of the content and the message of the work and showing positive values for our children.
These shows are 100% in English and are specifically created and adapted to the different stages, levels and interests of the students. Their actors and actresses are trained in musical theatre and are native or of a level equivalent to native.
The two shows were:
P4 SHOW: “PINOCCHIO”
This story is a modern, interactive and musical version of Pinocchio, where children will learn to recycle and the importance of helping others and working as a team. They will also realize that it is good to listen to their parents and that they have to work hard to get the things they want.
P5 SHOW: “PUFF- THE MAGIC DRAGON”
It is an endearing story between a Dragon, called Puff, and his friend Jack. They have a great time until the pirate Mary Read interrupts them. And then….
The story also deals with topics such as loneliness, friendship between very different beings, perseverance, the importance of taking care of each other and having physical well-being with an active life.
