Robin Hood

Today we had a visit from the pantomime actors from The Stag Theatre in Sevenoaks. Silly Billy, Robin Hood, Maid Marian and Nurse Nellie came to show us  all about pantomime. It was really funny and everyone had to join in and shout out every time we saw a ghost. We also had to shout "Hiya Billy!" when Silly Billy appeared.






"The people were funny," Tieghan

"It was so hilarious my sides hurt!" Freddie

"My favourite actor was Silly Billy because he was very silly!" Finley

"I really liked it when Silly Billy smacked Nurse Nellie in the face!" Joshua

"I liked it when Silly Billy pretended to be Harry Potter by going on a broom" Jack
