Thanks to our brilliant PTA, the whole school had the exciting opportunity to visit the theatre to see the fantastic stage show of The Cat in the Hat.
We travelled together on coaches, which made the day feel like a real adventure from the very start. The journey was full of chatter and excitement as the children guessed what the performance might be like and talked about the stories we had already enjoyed in class.
When we arrived at the Radlett Theatre, the atmosphere was buzzing. Year 2 were especially excited because we have spent lots of time throughout the year reading poems and stories by Dr. Seuss. We were already familiar with his playful rhymes, silly characters, and imaginative worlds.
The show did not disappoint! It was funny, lively, and full of surprises. One of the highlights was the giant bouncing balls that bobbed around the audience, making the experience interactive and unforgettable. The children laughed, joined in, and were completely absorbed in the performance from start to finish.
We also love the story The Lorax, which has helped us think about caring for the environment. Seeing another Dr. Seuss story brought to life on stage made everything we’ve been learning even more meaningful and exciting.
