puppets, a song, audience participation - that kept the
children interested. It was good too that there was a moral
lesson at the end”.

some worthwhile themes that fit into the PSHE syllabus

skills were a ‘living textbook’ for our GCSE drama students.
Excellent value – looking forward to seeing you again
in the future”

both History and PSHE (drug + stranger danger + the power
of peer pressure)" [made after seeing “The Dark
Castle”]

“Well done and thank you. Key Stage 1 enthralled the
whole time; enjoyed the participation and story line.
Lower KS2 similarly – the play held their attention for
the whole hour. Upper KS2 benefitted from watching a live
performance; EAL children enjoyed the visual aspects and
repetition. "

School, Rheindahlen

“We all thoroughly enjoyed ‘The Wish’ and it was a
super link to our work about traditional tales. The children
enjoyed the variety of costumes and characters and found
the story very funny (and at times, sad!) A super alternative
to a pantomime. The administration arrangements before
the visit were excellent. I would happily use the Playtime
Theatre Company again aand would be please to recommend
them to another group."
M. Patey, K2 Teacher,
Gads Hill School, Rochester, Kent
|
"Most of our students loved and understood the
play. They were able to summarize the plot, give details
and share their favourite parts. Some students told us
that it was good to have some Spanish too, because when
it was not that easy to understand they could follow it
thanks to the little translations. You can see some of
their comments in our school blog and website."
