Scene One - The River Bank
Here Mole meets his new friend Ratty and explore the world of the river. All the pupils play Mole alongside rabbits, ducks and of course sing along with Ratty.
Scene Two -Mr Toad
Here Mole meets the amazing, the great the one and only Mr Toad! All the pupils play Toad - sing a long to his Toad song and of course fall in love with motoring POOP . . . POOP
On the right some picture of Toads new car - Before and after!!!
Scene Three - The Wild Wood
Despite Rattys warnings Mole goes on his own into the Wild Wood. A very scary scene where the pupils get to chase mole, become a wicked tree and play as wicked weasels. They are of course saved by the one and only Mr Badger and the sung to by the very sweet (but not very good singers) field mice.
Scene Four - The Battle for Toad Hall
In this scene toad who has ended up in jail because of his reckless driving , escapes and with the help of his brave friends claims back Toad Hall from the wicked weasels. Very silly and a great end to the show.

"The children enjoyed the day thoroughly. The information pack that was sent beforehand was very useful as staff knew what was happening and what they needed to do. Mark was brilliant with the children; he directed them carefully and encouraged them along the way. The performance at the end of the day was very successful. The Yr 5’s enjoyed performing the show and the rest of the Upper School enjoyed watching it. Thank you very much for doing such a brilliant job!"
