Westdale Junior School news

The school play, a version of the Cinderella story, was performed on 14th and 15th December at Westdale Junior School by years 5 and 6 as their Christmas concert. Altogether there were four performances with two different casts of children.

The concert featured Year 6 pupils in the major roles with everyone in years five and six participating in the singing. The Assembly Choir also preformed one excellent song to introduce the performance.

The pantomime was not the traditional version of the Cinderella story, but was a funny comedy version which made the audience laugh a lot.

The Fairy Godmother turns up to try to help Cinderella, but her spells do not work properly. Buttons arranges for her to go to the ball but the Fairy Godmother cannot magic up a coach and horses so Buttons has to give Cinders a piggy back to the ball. The Prince falls in love with Cinders but, the story also had a twist which made it more interesting. It all ends up with the Prince marring an ugly sister instead of Cinderella!

"I thought the performance was excellent and the singing was also brilliant!" remarked member of audience.
