Today we watched a fantastic performance by the Camp Quality puppeteers. The show explained how some people get cancer or leukaemia and then detailed how it is treated. They used the characters Kylie and Deano to explain the disease. This was a very uplifting performance with a really clear message for us to learn.
Thanks to the families who were able to make a gold coin donation.
Today we saw the Camp Quality Puppet Show at school.
The play was about a little girl called, Kylie, who had cancer and had chemotherapy as her treatment.
Kylie met her friend Deano after she had finished her chemotherapy treatment. It was Kylie’s first day back at school, after being away for 3 months. Kylie felt very nervous being back at school and how she looked now after her treatment. At first Deano teased Kylie because her hair had fallen out and she looked as pale as a ghost. Kylie was also very skinny. Kylie’s feelings were very hurt when Deano teased her. BUT Deano realised his mistake and knew he needed to apologise.
After Kylie had explained her cancer and the treatment Deano said sorry and that made Kylie feel a lot better inside. Deano realized that it doesn’t matter what you look like on the outside – it’s what’s in the inside that counts.
We really enjoyed the play and we learnt a lot about cancer and how to treat it. We also learnt some important messages about not teasing people and treating them fairly.
Some of the values and behaviours we admired in the play were:
➢ Don’t be a bully
➢ It’s what’s on the inside that counts
➢ Be kind
➢ Be caring
➢ Be thoughtful
➢ Don’t tease others because they are different
➢ Accept and respect differences
➢ It’s not cool to be cruel!
➢ Work together
➢ Be friendly to others
➢ Use nice words
➢ Be happy
➢ Be positive
➢ Be welcoming
➢ Use your manners
➢ Be brave
➢ Be respectful
What do you think of the values and behaviours we’ve listed above – do you think they relate to our unit of Inquiry about Heroes?
