Mike Kenny will be visiting us this Spring...

The 6es have read many plays and are writing book reports, gardening and talking about Mike Kenny. You’ll soon find some more information in this section (Does Boo deserve 9 out of 10 ? Is a garden full of emotion ? What about tightropes, home stones, stepping stones and fallen stars ? ...)

The pupils think the plays are better read out loud or acted. Reading theatre is not that simple.
