Stevie the Starfish

We had a wonderful time preparing for and performing our play Stevie the Starfish. Our parents and friends were invited to watch the play in the school hall on Tuesday June 10th.

Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes and we had lots of colourful characters. Our narrators dressed as seaweed to perform their seaweed dance.We also had starfish, clownfish and rainbow fish as well as Sid the Shark, Terry the Turtle, Stevie the Starfish and his friends Mark, Paul and Sean. Have a look at the pictures!
