Chilestalks and Rainbows at Junior Drama Night - February 24, 2011
On Tuesday, February 15, Linden's grade 5 and 6 students treated their teachers, family and friends to two wonderful, and funny, short plays.
Our grade 5 class took the stage first to perform "Jackie and the Chilestalk", a sequel to the famous "Jack and the Beanstalk". The main character, Jackie, finds and climbs a chile stalk growing from some magical peppers. When she meets the giant who lives at the top, she finds that he is quite misunderstood - and that Jack may not be as innocent as everyone thinks.
Then, the grade 6 class performed "The End of the Rainbow", an original play about two down-on-their-luck robbers looking for the pot of gold rumoured to be in this magical place. However, some unexpected visitors prevent them from conducting their search and making off with the loot.
The young actors displayed poise, enthusiasm and great comedic timing throughout the two plays, and the audience thoroughly enjoyed sharing the evening with them.
Shakespeare with Grade 7 Flair - February 23, 2011
 Our grade 7 class took the stage on Wednesday, February 9, to perform their rendition of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
It's a tradition for grade 7 students at Linden to perform Dream, and each class brings their own unique perspective to the play and its characters. The result is always a treat to watch, and this year was no different. The actors brought feeling, underestanding and humour to their roles, bringing the play to life for the audience.
