FOR P3 - P5 PUPILS

Up To Speed

Presented by Rosalind Sydney 
in association with Catherine Wheels
Up to Speed is a funny, moving and captivating tale about a boy and a girl and what it’s like to be the odd one out. Have you ever met a person who is a little unusual? Someone whose mind seems to work a bit differently? Who surprises you? Who is funny and also fun to laugh at? That’s what Barnaby is like. Jade has marvelled and laughed at him, been surprised and confused by him. But he has also made her feel small. And she knows exactly how to get him back…

Up to Speed provides opportunities for provoking discussion and learning around topics involving the past, the future, space, science and technology. The themes covered are all suitable and linked with our interdisciplinary studies on space.

Audience size: 120
Running time: 55 mins
Space required: clear, flat hall, min 8m x 12m x 3.5m

RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS

We prefer the children to enjoy the performance without prior knowledge of the story but the information pack below help for teachers to link to classroom plans after the show.
