taught completely unknown music and songs to the chil­ dren and the cast were taught


their moves and character traits by Lyndsey, who spent a great deal of time in school with them.


The story involved Mother


Duck and Father Drake hatch­ ing their eggs into delightful baby ducklings, all but for the largest egg, which turned out to be a swan at the end of the show. There were some great performances and all the chil­ dren, including the chorus, played their parts well.

yard was colourful and the costumes were well thought-


out to depict the many differ­ ent characters. Thanks were given to Adrian Clark for the sound effects.
