Alumnos e alumnas de educación infantil, 4 e 5 anos, acudiron o pasado 24 de maio ao Auditorio Municipal de Ourense para presenciar unha obra teatral en inglés, concretamente THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, baseada no famoso conto Os Tres Porquiños.
On May 24th, students from the four and five year preschool classes also attended a theatrical perfomance in the Municipal Auditorium in Ourense, titled "THE THREE LITTLE PIGS" also by the group "Theatre4Schools". This interactive version of the classic children´s story included music and songs and was a hit with the young students.
In this version, the three little pigs win the lottery and decide to each build their own house. Two of the pigs do not like to work very much, and make their houses out of straw and wood, but the third, hard-working pig builds his house out of bricks. The pigs are soon visited by the Big Bad Wolf, who tries to blow the houses down.
As in Robin Hood, this performance brings the English language to the students in a fun and enjoyable way, with vocabulary, expressions and simple structures, adapted to their ages. Social values including effort and teamwork to solve a common problem are underlying themes in the play. The students enjoyed the performance and the songs that they had learned previously in English class.
Here is a presentation that includes different parts of the play and pictures from before and after.
