On Wednesday some children from Year 5 and 6 went to the Crescent Theatre to watch a production of The Wind in the Willows.
The play tells the tale of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad.When Mole goes boating with the Water Rat instead of spring-cleaning, he discovers a new world. As well as the river and the Wild Wood, there is Toad's craze for fast travel which leads him and his friends on a whirl of trains, barges, gipsy caravans and motor cars and even into battle.
"I thought the play was really exciting. I particularly liked the fact that there were so many different characters, some of which were wearing some very realistic costumes. I also found the play very hilarious in parts."

On Monday 46 children from Years 3 and 4 went to The Old Rep Theatre in Birmingham to watch a production of the classic Roald Dahl story 'James and the Giant Peach'. The adaptation tells the story of James, a lonely boy who lives with his Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker, the most revolting Aunts in England. They make him work and slave and never let him play with other children. Then one day he meets a mystical old man who gives him a bag that contains the strongest magic in the world has ever known. When James accidentally spills the bag near an old peach tree, the most incredible things start to happen. That is when James' adventures begin.
"I thought the play was great fun. I really liked all the lights and costumes. It was very realistic."
