Flutterpillar - By Sarah Baker

If your product comes complete with a CD or if you purchase a CD separately, then the tracks on the CD can easily be converted to MP3 files by using, for example, the "Rip CD" option in the Windows Media Player on a PC. This will then enable you to use the tracks in digital format if your venue does not have a CD player available.

‘The pupils performing the show enjoyed it greatly, especially singing the songs, which they learn quite quickly and sang with enthusiasm. The songs have great tunes and lyrics and a non-specialist teacher could teach them fairly easily. The fact that the show reinforces the curriculum is a bonus.’

‘Flutterpillar is lovely as part of a minibeast topic, with its cross-curricular links between science, art and music. The children loved the story and the audience really enjoyed the show.’

‘Fantastic songs that are easy to learn, simple plot that the children can understand, simple script - and just the right length. It helps consolidate learning (re. the science curriculum content) and the audience found it cute.’

‘Such a lovely way to teach the life cycle of a butterfly. The songs are very catchy and easy to learn and the dialogue is simple too. The flow and rhythm through the show made it very easy to move through and adapt to suit the abilities of the children, all of whom enjoyed performing - with whole class participation!’

‘The children really enjoyed putting on ‘Flutterpillar’ particularly because they enjoyed the songs so much. The experience was exciting and fun for them, and the parents loved it too!’

‘Flutterpillar is short, accessible, easy to set and costume, and there are limited props – which makes for low stress! It’s easy to understand, with appropriate dialogue and catchy songs. We were able to create a very bright and vibrant performance, and lots of parents commented on how good it was. A very good show for this age group.’
 ‐ BG, Teacher, Gloucester

‘I would definitely recommend ‘Flutterpillar’ to other schools. The songs were pitched just right in terms of some being fairly easy to pick up and some more of a challenge to learn - the end result being that the children never got bored of singing them.’
