Operetta

After weeks of practice, our Room 14 and 15 stars performed their part in our school's Operetta "Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish". 

Everyone worked hard to learn the song and the actions, to remember their positions on stage, and the cues and timing for coming on and off stage. 

What a huge success and a great experience in the Performing Arts for a group of 6- and 7-year olds, we were so impressed with them!

We all enjoyed watching the full Operetta performance, and learning how our part fitted in with the whole story. We particularly loved the Bollywood dancing, the Money dance with 'Donald Trump,' the robots, and the giant inflatable dinosaur!

Here is some of our writing:

At the Operetta I saw Bollywood dancers and kiwis and the story and the dinosaur and the robots. I saw the Earth and builders and the rockets and the suns and paradise and stars.
