Duffy Role Model Assembly

Last term Picton School were fortunate to have Mary Kippenberger and Peter Charlton-Jones visit as part of Dufy Role Models.

The children in room 2 wrote recounts on what was a wonderful assembly please read some of the excerpts.

"On Monday 23rd of March it was the Duffy Role Model Assembly. It was in the school hall. The people that did the Role Model Assembly was Mary Kippenberger and Peter Charlton-Jones......My favourite part about the Duffy Role Model Assembly was the play because it looked like the Prince was about to kiss Sleeping Beauty. I hope they come again." Brylee

"Some people got chosen for a play. It was called Sleeping Beauty. It was about an evil fairy and good fairies, Aurora and a Prince, a Princess and King and Queen. It was funny when everyone dressed up........I want them to come back next month." Gemma

"Mary Kippenberger and Peter Charlton-Jones sang ua a song 'I Don't Like My Pants Falling Down'. Mt favourite part of the song was 'I Don't Like My Bottom Making Noises'. Peters guitar look like it had been made a long time ago. Peter was very good at playing the guitar and Mary was a very good singer. I liked the song becaise it was funny......I liked the play, story and the song. I hope they can come again." Liberty

"My most favourite part was when P.J tapped Sleeping Beauty (Billie) on the shoulder. They both came together and instead of kissing they shook hands. And that was the end of the play. I didn't want them to go at the end. I wanted them to stay, but they have to go so I'll be waiting for them next year." Jack
