Our reporters, Maria A. and George M. tell us about a class visit to the theatre. Photos by Costas L.
On January 14 2013, the fourth and fifth graders of our school went to the theatre to watch “Τρελαντώνης“, a play by Penelope Delta, directed by Sophia Spyratou. The cast included K. Geronikolaou, G. Noussis and Ν. Maistrali. It is a fantastic musical with great choreography and wonderful music. The actors and actresses wear clothes from that period of time. The lighting was bright and the settings were from 1910. The play is about a naughty child, Antonis, who lives with a rich family and is always up to something naughty. But deep inside Antonis is innocent, he realises his mistakes and tries to correct them.
Susan from England is staying with her friend Nadine in Marseilles, France.
Susan: Good morning, Nadine! Wow, it’s late. I was tired from yesterday’s train trip from
London. What are you doing?
Nadine: Oh, hi, Susan. I’m making Christmas decorations and my little brother is helping me.
Susan: You’re making Christmas decorations! How come?
Nadine: Well, we usually buy them at the stores but this year we are making them
ourselves. Come and see… I’m using my mother’s biscuit moulds and some clay. After
they dry, we spray them with gold, silver and green colour and …voila! Some of them are
ready. Look at the different shapes: angels, bells, trees, balls, stars… Others are already
hanging on the Christmas tree. Don’t they look great!
Susan: Wow! Yes, they do! It’s a very good idea! We usually buy them at the supermarket
but they are so expensive! And it is certainly less fun like making them on your own. Can I
help you make some more?
Nadine: Sure, join in!
