Gruffalo – très magnifique

Gruffalo – très magnifique

Our Year 4 boys took their audiences on an exciting adventure as a mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood to come face-to-face with an owl, a snake … and a hungry Gruffalo! However, this was by far no ordinary drama production of the classic and much-loved tale by Julia Donaldson, as it was all in French!

Une souris se promenait dans un grand bois profond . . .

The boys, who have been learning French since Year 3, have been working extra hard and practising with Mme Loader to perform their lines with confidence, flair and va-va-voom! The brilliant puppets created by Mrs Aldridge helped the boys bring their characters to life.

The boys delighted audiences in their two shows. First up was Pilgrims Pre-Prep School in the afternoon, followed by the boys’ parents after school. They received rapturous applause for their brilliant performances on both occasions. 

Très magnifique!
