Feedback
'Abergoed Primary'
Year 5:
​
" I thought it was a nice show. It
helped me notice how littering could
hurt animals. It has made me think
about being responsible for my
actions. LP"​
"The show was funny. The
monkey was a little bit
cheeky which made us all
laugh. I would recommend the
show to other primary
schools. EF"​
"I thought it was amazing,
the actors put so much effort into it.
It inspires me to think about the world
we live in. AH."
​
Year 4:
​
"I thought the show was fantastic. I really
enjoyed it. My favourite part was when
the two monkeys became friends. The
show was hilarious and wholesome. My
favourite characters were the birds, they
made funny noises. It was adventurous
when the monkeys were stuck in the
waves. It was very sad when the monkeys
friend died but he came back to life which
was good. I would rate the show a 4.5 out
of 5. TL"
​​​
"I liked the show because it was very
funny but sad at the same time. The
funniest part was when the animals kept
putting random things in the soup. The
saddest part was when the monkeys got
lost. I would give this show a 10/10. HRH"
​
"I liked the show because it was
thrilling. I loved the flips and
funny things that the monkeys
did. My favourite character was
the bird because he was funny.
My favorite scene was when the
monkeys reunited. There was lots
of important messages in this
play. A 10 out of 10. OH"
​
Year 2 and 3:
​
"The puppet made me really happy
because the monkeys were reunited
after he lost one of his friends. The
music was energetic and exciting. SK"
​
"The show was brilliant because
it was talking about looking
after the world. It was teaching
people how littering can hurt
animals. It made us think that
we shouldn’t litter. OH and ES"
​
"The show was a little bit scary
because there was a creepy dog
who was a skeleton and a bird
died but I did think it was a good
show because it was interesting.
It taught me not to litter. I think
it might be too scary for really
little children. I would say age six
up. JH"
