A brave pirate, a snooty fox, an excitable dog, a sleepy
lion, a kind washer-woman and an i-pad “freak” are the main characters in St
Joseph Catholic School’s latest production, “The Magic Tree Book”. These
characters will be recognised from well-known NZ stories by authors Joy Cowley,
Gavin Bishop, Margaret Mahy and Lynley Dodd.
The story was written by Mrs Jemma Van Eijk and is about the
importance of keeping a town library open even though children are always
playing on their ipads rather than reading books.
All of the students are involved in the show and have been
working hard dancing, singing as well as painting props. Three exciting shows
are being held at St Joseph’s School hall starting Monday 15th
September until Wednesday 17th September at 7pm. Tickets are $10 for
adults, primary/intermediate students $5 and pre-schoolers are free. You can
pick them up from the school office or there will be some available at the
door. It’s going to be an amazing show – we hope you will come along to see!
