School Production

Last week Good Shepherd School performed, ‘Zip Zip Zap Avenue’. We packed the school hall with our family and friends as the rain fell. Most of GSS students were in the holding classrooms covered in make-up and sitting in our toy costumes.

Zip Zip Zap Avenue is a about a Toy Shop that comes alive once one of the main characters, the Shopkeeper closed up the shop and turned off the light. The toys would then come alive when all the people were asleep, like the the families that visited the toyshop looking for the perfect gifts. This certain night at the toyshop the celebration was for Buzz the Bee, he had left the shelf of the toy shop and all his friends came out to celebrate him with dances. The main toy friends were Thing 1, Thing 2, Tiki, Spiderman, Cabbage Patch Doll, Woody, Strawberry Shortcake, and a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. The main characters introduced the classes as they came in as their selected toy and danced for buzz.

The first dance was the boys and girls of Room 3 and 4 who were transformers, this was a great and powerful way to start the show. Room 5 then twirled onto the stage as Barbie and Ken dancing to Barbie girl. Things got a little spooky as the trolls of Room 7 came out in the middle of the night to the song Thriller. We weren’t too scared for long as the fairies in Room 3 and 4 came out dancing away in their gorgeous fair dresses. And just when you thought things couldn’t get any cuter the teddy bears from Room 1 and 2 went on their teddy bear picnic. Room 8 then showed us what teamwork is with their awesome lego outfit and very cool song … Everything is awesome! Next up were the Kiwi toy, with great costumes for the kiwi birds and the wonderful performance of the Poi Dancers. And finally it was our turn, Room 6 spun onto the stage as Rubix Cubes dancing to You Spin Me Right Around.

It was a fantastic experience for us all, we learnt a lot about performing and all the work that goes on in the background. We was a wonderful opportunity and it wouldn’t of been possible without the support of everyone working together just like the lego blocks.
