COVENTRY students performed a childhood tale in front of a crowd of 100 people in the last week of term.
Year six pupils at Ss Peter and Paul Catholic Primary School, performed a west end inspired rendition of Roald Dahl’s Matilda at Cardinal Wiseman Catholic School.
The group of 31 children were in charge on scenery and costume changes, with a lot of the set being made from upcycled cardboard boxes and paper.
One teacher, Eileen Osborne who has taught at the school since 1990, performed as the cook.
Sarah Hall, Year six teacher said: “It was an amazing night and great to have everyone involved, but I have to give a special shout out to Lenny who broke his arm but was still there to support his classmates on the night.
“It was a really lovely send off and everyone was so impressed with their performance, especially after working so hard and doing so well in their SATs.
“The production was a really high standard and it was great to have access to the professional facilities at Cardinal Wiseman to put on a show that everyone in the audience will remember.
“I taught lots of these pupils when they were in Year 4 so it has been really nice to see them progress and we will be sad to see them go.
“We’re all incredibly proud of our fantastic Year 6s and wish them the best of luck as they make the move to secondary school.”
