Assembly Performance Friday, 16 August 2013

On Friday, 16 August, 2013 we performed our Reader's Theater  The Ugly Duckling. We discovered this play was written by the Scandinavian author Hans Christian Anderson in the 1840s.

Each member of our class had a different part. Our director asked all the members of our class what part they wanted to have before we started. Everyone was happy with the parts they had. We practiced for several days before our performance, both at home and at school.

We also discovered folk tales usually have a moral (this was partly to teach children the difference between right and wrong in the olden days). The morals we think come through from The Ugly Duckling are: don't judge a person by the way they look, believe in yourself and that we need to respect the difference of others.

Below are some photos from our successful performance.
