Yesterday's trip

We spent a wonderful day yesterday in Wellington at the Capital E Arts Festival. Excitement rose when we were picked up at the school gates in a double decker bus!

The first show we saw was at Downstage Theatre and was called "Grimace" . It was a mix of different nursery rhymes and fairy tails all jumbled up, wit wonderful actors who jumped, climbers and raced all over the stage. The musician for this show was fantastic!

Next we went to Paramount Theatre and watch the fantastic presentation "Passing Wind". Linsey Pollak

is a very talented composer who makes musical instrucments out of every-day objects- like camping stools and carrots! Amazing!

Last show of the day was in the  Capital E auditorium. "Boats" was a humourous, sad tale of lost love at sea. There were some amazing scenes, my favourite was when the actors made a real 'storm in a teacup'!

We had a really great day. Thanks to our Capital E host and the others a Capital E who have worked very hard on this years festival.
