Shadow Theatre at the Chinese Cultural Centre

Jhanavi Kannan, Year 5

Our field trip was to the Chinese Cultural Centre for a Shadow Puppet Show. The first story we saw was The Turtle and the Crane. The next one was The Mountain of Flame. The third one was The Make-up of the Monster.

Audrey Asu, Year 5

Once upon a time, along a peaceful river were a big frog and a small frog. There was also a turtle who was always disturbing them and the crane helping them. The turtle went to the frogs and tried to eat them. They tried to escape but the small frog got hurt.

Then the crane came and drove the turtle away, put the small frog on the back of the big frog and asked them to go. The turtle came again and provoked the crane. They fought and at the end, the crane held him by the neck and went with him somewhere where he wouldn’t cause trouble any more.

I liked the effects like the movement of the smoke they used for the fire mountain. I love the art they used for the puppets.

On Saturday, 23rd of March 2013, was the School Fair. It was not what I had expected it to be; it was even better. (Rhina Houinato)

Middle School students were eager to express their excitement about the move to the new block of classrooms on the field through the writing of prose and poetry.

Aisha Aminu Sadiq, Sille Knudsen, Patrick Udosen and Dylan Collins are ‘four corners’ of the picture of the first week in their new environment.

Congratulations go out to Andrea El Hajj, Bell Rhina Houinato and Fatoumata Baba Jarjusey
