All Aboard Me Hearties!
The school was invaded by a gang of pirates this week as the children in Years 3, 4 and 5 performed the Musical "The Pirates Of The Curry Bean".
The story begins in Old London at the docks where a treasure map is found by the Periwinkles only to be stolen by the crew of The Curry Bean, lead by Captain Redbeard.
The Perriwinkles aided by the Crew of the naval ship, The Crunchy Frog, set sail to hunt down the pirate gang only to be captured and then ship wrecked in a violent storm.
Both crews find themselves on the island of Lumbago, a tropical paradise where the treasure map shows there is a fortune to be found. Scuttle and Slack find the treasure with the help of some cheeky monkeys.
However the treasure is claimed by Redbeard's gang, but the King of Wonga, who regains his memory, insists that the treasure be shared by all. Bringing a happy ending to the show, with the Perriwinkles being reunited and everyone being very rich.
A big thank you goes to the parents of the cast who supplied all their lovely costumes and helped many of our characters learn and practise their lines.
The show was a great success and the children really enjoyed taking part in the performance, which was received with great praise by all of our audiences.
