 A Snowman at Sunset

Narrator 1 (Adam):
Good morning everybody and welcome to our Junior Infants play, ‘A Snowman at Sunset.’

Narrator 2 (Mason):
We hope you enjoy it.

Narrator 2 (Estelle):
We will be available to sign autographs at the end of the show.

Narrator 3 (Norah):  
Every year, the children waited. What do you think they were waiting for? Something very, very white and very, very cold. Something which is good for fun and games…
Yes, that’s it! The snow!

Song 1 - Look at the Snowflakes

Narrator 4 (Liam):
Each year the snow fell until everywhere was covered in a beautiful white carpet.

Narrator 5 (July):
Then the children could go sledging, throw snowballs and make enormous, deep white footprints. But most of all they loved making snowmen.

All Four Children (Isaac, Catherine, Luzia, Leo):
Let’s go and make a snowman now!


Narrator 6 (James):
The children were lucky, there was always lots of snow. Enough to make a whole family of snowmen.

Narrator 7 (Aria):
A snow mammy and a snow daddy. A snow granny and a snow grandad. And lots of snow children!

Narrator 8 (Daniel):
But then, after a few days, the sun would start to shine and the snow family would melt away slowly.



Narrator 9 (Lena):
Then, one year, the children waited and waited for the snow.

Narrator 10 (Emre):
They waited for a long time. They thought that it would never, ever come.

Narrator 11 (Milo):
It began to snow at last, but this year there was only enough to make ONE snowman.

Narrator 12 (Quinn):
All the children wanted to use the snow! They ALL wanted to make a snowman!

Child 1 (Luzia):
I want to make a snowman!

Child 2 (Isaac):
No, I want to make a snowman!

Child 3 (Leo):
Actually, I want to make a snowman!

Narrator 13 (Szymon):
The children got very angry with each other.

1.    This is a very cross song!
This is an angry song!
I saw someone stamp their feet,
*(Stamp, stamp, stamp!) - Luzia and Norah
Oh dear, what an angry song!

2.   This is a very cross song!
This is an angry song!
I saw someone pull a face,
*(‘Ner, ner, ner!’) - Isaac
Oh dear, what an angry song!

3.   This is a very cross song!
This is an angry song!
I saw someone shouting out,
*(‘It’s not fair!’) - Catherine
Oh dear, what an angry song!

4.   This is a very cross song!
This is an angry song!
I saw someone cry and cry,
*(‘Boo, hoo, hoo!’) - Leo and Daniel
Oh dear, what an angry song! 


Narrator 14 (Melanie):
From behind the clouds, a pale yellow sun began to shine. The sun got warmer and warmer and the snow began to sparkle.

Narrator 14 (Melanie):
The sun looked down at the children.

Sun (Celestine):
Don’t be angry with each other, try to be friends. You must make your snowman soon, or I will have to melt the snow.

Child 4 (Catherine):
But which of us should make it?

Sun (Celestine):
All of you can make it. You can work together to give a snowman the gift of life.

Narrator 15 (Maja):
The children thought about this for a little while, then they decided what to do.



Narrator 16 (Charlie):
The children made the best snowman ever. They thought that making him together was great fun.

Narrator 17 (Isabela):
The sun began to sink in the sky. He hadn’t melted their snow after all.

Main Snowman (Darragh): Thank you boys and girls! You know, there’s not much snow left around these parts. I’m so glad you could all work together, sharing your snow and giving me the life of life!

Narrator 18 (Zoe):
Lots of tired children looked at their snowman, standing tall and proud against the sunset.



Narrator 19 (Wilson): That’s the end of our Winter Show, we hope you enjoyed it! Now, sing along with us!
