Beaver Road Primary School - Children's Pages

Children's Pages - Theatre Visit

News by Lucian and Brendan.

THURSDAY 9TH NOVEMBER 2006

Today we had a visit from the CRAGRATS. The CRAGRATS are a drama company who were here to encourage children to eat healthy food. The actors were Donna, Gavin and Haley. The show started off with a group of three “kids”, one of which likes burgers, but the boy eats too many burgers and turns into one. The boy is finding it difficult to do school activities so his friends help him to turn back into a proper kid - hooray! It was very funny. Obesity is an important topic, but children can become grumpy, tired, lazy and unfit if they do not eat healthily. It was a good show, a bit like a pantomime. At the end there was a quiz which went over the main points.
