The Shows

Green Grows my garden

"Green Grows My Garden” is a sack full of stories about growing plants in your garden. We’ve written a special song by the same name that’ll have you humming after the show. We start the show with our much requested and popular “Take a Little Rain” song. We visualise and discover how amazing it is to grow plants from seed, do sign language for “Five Little Peas in a Peapod Press”, and explore water evaporation and the importance of worms in the garden and what they will eat. We act out the story of “Mr Brown’s Magnificent Apple Tree” which has the children belly laughing. Another story that has slipped into the show is a told story of Lulu where the children are very much a part of the adventure of helping solve the problem of getting Lulu to sleep. It’s a fantastic story adapted from Tanya Batt. Lulu loves visiting our garden.

becoming me

Drawing on the National Framework we are looking at Becoming Me.
We explore the differences and diversity of our abilities as we grow, such as:

The changes that happen to us as we grow and our ability to perform harder tasks
We encourage the children to ‘Have a Go’ and that mistakes can be a tool to help us learn
Day & Night – Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in sign language
Life cycle of a butterfly and/or a moth
Learn about eating healthy food
The continuing told story about the adventures of Lulu with her Gran
A dash of speech therapy – Mr Tongue cleans his house ( your mouth)
A show grows as you perform it with the children and they take ownership of the direction we go

caterpillars clothesline and cubbyhouse rainbows

Often requested for 3 year olds.

Jack and Molly take you into their backyard to explore all those areas we remember so well….trees, cubbyhouses, spiders, caterpillars, snails, frogs, rainbows and all the adventures and learning that go with it!

As always there’s loads of audience participation through the songs they know – “Incy, Wincy Spider”; “I Hear Thunder” (in Chinese Mandarin as well), “Gollop Went the Little Green Frog”; “Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gumtree” (sign language) plus our “Backyard Song” and a great caterpillar story where Jack discovers caterpillars don’t eat baked beans!

The children feed the caterpillar until it finally turns into a beautiful butterfly.

JACK and molly's Christmas show

This show includes the symbols of Christmas and we don’t follow any religious messages.

We do include “Got to Get Ready for Christmas”; “Jingle Bells”; “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” (in sign language). Santa pops out of our “Ute Song” and we sing a variation of “Dingle Dangle Scarecrow – Jingle Jangle Santa”.

The children then become “The Five Days of Christmas” and we act out the story “Is That You Father Christmas?”.

It’s a fun show to finish off the year.
