Audience responses to Heelie-go-Leerie
Our school have just been to your show today in Peebles and we thought it was fabulous. We really loved the energy and sheer imagination - it totally captivated the children. You know your audience very well!
We are also interested in the teachers' packs since we'd like to build on the rhymes and inspiring ideas in the show. With many thanks. (Catriona Stark, P2 teacher Kingsland Primary School Peebles)

“Bella is holding up the roof. Her needs a wee wee. She plays the bagpipes. Someone else holded the broom when her went to the toilet.”
“This is the place where they played the games. The witch game, the space game and the dragon came and we were all singing. I like singing”.
“Bella playing the bagpipes. It was just a spoon and a cushion. It nearly made me laugh it was a bit silly”.
“This is a picture of a dragon. It sucked up all the smoke. There was no more smoke on the roof so the characters wouldn’t cough.”
This is the dragon looking at Bella. Bella is holding up a stick to keep the smoke coming out the hole”.
“the boy that got that thing on his hair” (bandana), “the boy with spikey hair”. “the girl”. “the hole in the roof”.
“they were all blasting off into space in a space rocket to see the magic ear”
”They were playing the witch game to wake up the dragon. We had to put hands on the chair.
You had to say “my granny likes to drnk…” if it was poison we had to say “Oh No!”
