Jack Flash and the Jumping Bean Stalk

A Shared -writing review by Room 4.

On Friday 24 July we were entertained by NZ Playhouse. 

Three funny and clever actors kept us laughing and enjoying their show for about an hour.

The story they told us was a version of Jack and the Beanstalk. The problem was the Giant (who wasnt really a giant) dropped his rubbish off his cloud and onto the land, dirtying the environment and hurting people. Jack solved the problem by using a Mexican Jumping Bean Stalk to climb up to the clouds and tell the Giant that (1st) he wasn't really a giant and (2nd) to use the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle.
We thought the show was cool. It made adults and kids laugh. It had funny songs and ridiculous dancing. The actors used funny voices and singing.
We learnt that the costumes use Velcro for  quick changes and the sets change easily having pictures on both sides.
The overall message of recycling was a great message and it fits with our RIMU value of being Manaakitanga.
We hope loads of other schools get to see this show - it was fantastic!
