Under his guidance the pupils developed their own characters, story, songs, costumes and sets, with support from school staff. All children performed with great confidence and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The story had a strong environmental theme, brought alive through funny characters such as rock ’n’ roll penguins, mischievous monkey and dump-loving ratroaches.
PUPILS VISIT TOY SHOP - Infant pupils from Knighton Primary School have been working on a toy topic this term and as part of that went to visit Knighton’s toy shop. Prices Toy Shop in Knighton is one of the last traditional toy shops left in the area but has a good selection of modern toys. Shop partner Rachel Price talked to the children about what sort of toys they liked and they all had a good look around the shop. When they left, Mrs Price gave them some balloons. Class teacher Sonia Williams thanked her for letting the children come to the shop and for talking to them while they were there.
