Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

At the end of last term, Waiuku Primary School performed an exciting, theatrical production
called Pages to Stage.
Each hub chose a book to transform into a play. Hub 1 chose What the Ladybird Heard by Julia Donaldson, Hub 2 did Room on the Broom, also by Julia Donaldson, Hub 4 did Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Hub 3 did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, both by the famous Roald Dahl.
Over 80 students took part, and many others helped by making props, decorating the stage and setting up chairs. The school hall was transformed into a marvellous, colourful and spectacular venue.
First, Hub 1 did their performance, then Hub 2, Hub 4, and then it was my turn with Hub 3! At the very start, we danced to a song called Hatful of Dreams, then later I hopped onto my hoverboard, went out there and performed a dance, remembered all my lines and enjoyed being in the rest of my play. For all the people reading this, I recommend you get out there and try acting; trust me, you’ll love it.
During our two shows, we had our productions sold out to 300 people. In our first show, we had George Street Kindergarten as special guests. There was singing, dancing, lights, candy and tons and tons of action.
Special thanks to Waiuku Theatre Group for loaning us their stage and costumes. And our teachers, Ms Jose Ponciano and Mrs Kara Foster, for being our art coordinators. Another shout-out to WPS PTA for selling drinks and food.
The biggest thank you to the whole community for watching our show.
