Trickster Comes to Town
















April 14 - 17 brought Trickster Theatre to our school. Our class was lucky enough to have Flat Stanley as the star of our part of the show. Trickster Theatre is a creative "artist in residency " program in Alberta which brings a talented actor or actress to our class who guides the kids through developing their own creative theatre piece for presentation to an audience on Friday. It was an amazing experience. Our class presented "Flat Stanley's Fantastic Flight" which saw Stanley travel to Calgary to see the Calgary Tower and the Saddledome, to Scotland to see curling, to New Zealand to see the mountains and the filming of Lord of the Rings, to Outer Space to experience generosity, and back to Alberta to Drumheller to see a dinosaur dig. Stanley and friends encountered a giant dinosaur in Drumheller that taught them how to be generous. It all fit around our Character Education theme of Expect Respect.
