Jack And The Beanstalk

In the first scene of the play, Jack and his mother are
standing in the garden outside their small cottage. Jack's
mother tells him to go to the market and sell the cow.

In the second scene of the play, Jack is on the way
to the market Jack bumps into an old man who wants
to buy a cow. Jack sells the cow to the old man, but instead
of paying him money he paid magic beans. When he came back
home his mother was furious with him so Jack`s mother chucked
the beans out the window.

In the last scene of the play, Jack and his mother look
out the window and see a huge beanstalk. Jack goes
outside and decides to climb it. When he gets to the top he
hears a huge giant, Jack also saw a hen that lays golden eggs
and he steals it and his mother chops the beanstalk down so
that the giant can't catch them and they never see him ever again.

My team worked very well in our play. My team also participated
very well but next time they need to focus a bit more. Next time we
need to work on focusing  a bit more. People participated by
making props and practising.
