This afternoon in Drama, students in 3/4 were given the below 'cliff hanger'. They then had to work in small groups to map out the next section of the story before doing some acting before the class!

It was a perfectly normal Tuesday morning at St Joseph’s Primary School… until it wasn’t.

Just as the bell rang for recess, the students raced outside—only to stop in their tracks. The playground was gone. Vanished. No swings, no slide, no monkey bars. Just a patch of grass and a single, mysterious footprint shaped like a giant jellybean.

Miss Russell, the yard duty teacher, gasped. “I knew this day would come,” she whispered, pulling out a glittery notebook labelled Emergency Playground Protocol.

The students gathered around, buzzing with questions. Who—or what—took the playground? Was it aliens? A sneaky underground mole? Or maybe the playground itself had run away?

Just then, a strange sound echoed from the school’s tennis court… a low hum, followed by a giggle.
