WOODBURY PRIMARY SCHOOL Cont’d/... Theatrical Endeavours Following in the footsteps of Year 6 pupils in the summer term with their stage production of A Glint of Gold (an amusing re-enactment of Howard Carter’s discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun), children in Maple Class recently performed their version of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, A Christmas Carol. The play provided a timely reminder for audiences to embrace the ‘Christmas Spirit’ and consider the story’s main themes of kindness, generosity, compassion and forgiveness.
