Omar Ladies and gentlemen, lads and lasses, welcome to the Westfield, class of

2012, year 6 summer show.

Atenea Please ensure your mobiles are switched off especially i-phones as they

interfere with our digital sound system. Please note the fire exit to my right.

Elian You know this is a very special year for us at Westfield, because 2012 isn’t just

any old year…

Atenea Side left “It’s the Queen’s jubilee! Three cheers for her majesty, hip hip” (side

right hooray x 3)

Omar Yes, but that’s not it…

Elián Side right “It’s York 800!!

Omar No, that’s not it either….

Elian Side left “It’s the Olympic year!”

2

Atenea No, no, no, 2012 is so special for us because this is the 60th anniversary of the

opening of our school; it’s Westfield’s own diamond jubilee (crowd cheer, sing

happy birthday, round of applause).

Omar We worked out that sixty years ago it was the fifties, so there was only really

one choice for this year’s show… it had to be Grease! (Grease is the word, is

the word, is the word….)

Elian Enjoy the show! Bow

TRANSITORY MUSIC

Yandeli Sandy: Oh Danny hasn’t it been a wonderful summer? All those lovely day

trips round the Riviera of the north. And good thing it was cloudy, you saved a

fortune on sunscreen!

Mauro Danny: Ooh yeah, it’s God’s own country is Yorkshire, and that day we had in

Blackpool riding on the Big One, it beats those rides at Euro Disney any day of

the week d’nt it love?

Yandeli Sandy: My favourite days out were the quiet trips to Robin Hood’s bay,

Cayton Bay… so romantic (crowd aah!)

Mauro Danny: I liked the day we went surfing at Brid me. It were chuffing mint!

Yandeli Sandy: I can’t believe summer’s nearly over. My dad’s lost his job with that

double dip recession, so he said we might have to move for work, and his work

could take us anywhere.

Mauro Danny: Well, at least we can keep in touch on Facebook.

Yandeli Sandy: Yeah, I’m definitely changing my status from single. Do you think this

the end Danny?

Mauro Danny: No darl, this is just the beginning.

Jesus I was working all summer. I’ve got some great wheels lads, wait til you see

‘em

Luis My mom kept me at home, I was like a slave, washing, cleaning, painting,

cleaning, and showering everyday.

Elian My story is almost the same, I was watching TV and drinking milkshakes…

Marco Where are they then?

Lalo Kinnicky: We’re still working on em. It’s in that garage down on the Green,

Central Body Repairs. We can walk round after school if you like?

Elian How did you get in there then?

Jesus In our dodge. (ALL LAUGH, AND DO HAIR)

Lalo I also heard you started working, in McD’s (MICKEY DS)(Macdonalds)

Diego I impressed them with my initiative, and my entrepreneurial brilliance! And of

course my looks. “Welcome to Macdonalds, may I take your order?” We have

so much potential we’re all destined for great things. I’ll own my own garage

by the time I’m 30, you mark my words.

Mauro Danny walks up the aisle

Luis I feel like we’re missing someone, Oh talking about the king of Rome…

Carlos T-Bird 4: Hey, Danny boy, starts singing, “Oh Danny, Danny. Danny Danny ,

Marco Come on t birds, it’s time to NOT go to class (exit fashionably)

BOYS LEAVE TALKING AND PLAYING.

GIRLS ENTER

Cristina Pink Lady: Hi! How was your summer?

Enya Pink Lady: Ooh it was fantastic! We went to Filey Bay and had a great time.

You can’t beat a sandy beach, and the B+B did a gorgeous full English

breakfast, you wouldn’t get that abroad

Atenea We din’t go away, but we did have some good days out though. My mum let

me go with her to ladies’ day at the Races, and we were in the posh bit too! I

had a fascinator and everything

Maia Pink Lady: We went to London, so exciting with all the Olympics buzz, and we

saw the Minster men thrash Luton to win promotion. How ‘bout you Rizzo?

Did you go away?

Mariana Rizzo: Oh no ladies, my life’s one big holiday. It’s such a drag having to come

back to school. At least it’s nearly over.

Pía Pink Lady: Ooh I’ll be really sad to leave. I’ve loved Westfield

All: Oh yes, wonderful Westfield sigh

Enya Pink Lady : At least we’re off to the best secondary school in York, and the

Children’s Champions will be there waiting to meet us at York High in

September

Gala Pink Lady: Ooh yeah, it’ll be great to see a friendly face. I’m a bit worried

about leaving

Mariana Rizzo: Don’t be daft, we’re more than ready. I can’t wait to get there

Sandy and Frenchie walk up the aisle

Yandeli Sandy: I’m really nervous Frenchie. What if no one likes me? I was at a tiny

5

village school before, where everyone knew everyone. Westfield High’s got so

many children. I’m worried I’ll get lost

Sara Frenchie: Don’t worry darl, everyone at Westfield is really kind, and if you’ve

ever got a problem the Children’s Champions are here to help you

Cristina And I’ll look after you. Come and meet my friends. Hey girls, great to see

you. Can I introduce you to my new friend Sandy? She’s just moved in next

door.

Pink ladies all say hello, hug Frenchie etc.

Mariana Rizzo: Alright love, have you come from o’er the tops?

Yandeli Sandy: I was at a tiny village in North Yorkshire. We only had two classes at

my old school.

Isabella Pink Lady: Oh Westfield might be a big school, but we’re very friendly. You

won’t find more loyal mates than weggies.

Pía Pink Lady: In fact we’re all having a sleepover after the footy match later. Do

you want to come and join us? We’ll get a DVD from Blockbusters and maybe

a Hakis?

Yandeli Sandy: Oh thanks, I’d love to come!

Maia Pink Lady: And what about the summer holiday Sandy? Did you go away?

Yandeli Sandy: I had the holiday of a life time, and I met the boy of my dreams. I had

the best time!

Gala And was he cute? Very manly and handsome like the rock?

Enya Was he nice? Did he treat you right? What’s his Facebook!?

Cristina Tell me more! Tell me more!

Pablo Hey lads, can you see those Hob Moor Scorpions over there? They should

stick to their own turf. I think they’re cruising for a bruising

Marco My mum says we shouldn’t go racing on the Moor. Those cows, once you

spook ‘em they all charge! I tell you what Kinnicky, you’ll go fast alright, but

you’ll be breaking Olympic records for all the wrong reasons

Carlos We should be faster than Usain Bolt on wheels, faster than a cheetah on jets.

Elian Yeah, I’ve had a herd of cows on my tail and it ain’t much fun mate

Diego Chill out lads, once my wheels are fixed up I’ll be off like grease lightning

Luis Do you think we’d be better on our bikes rather than scooters. You know

how reckless some people are, don’t fasten their belts, text and drive, all day

distracted…

Jairo Ooh yeah, bike it, like it! You know at Westfield we’ve been doing all this

work on how inspirational Olympians are? I’m thinking of Usain Bolt right

now. Even a herd of cows couldn’t catch him!

Marco I’m thinking of Neil armstrong. He’s the cycling king. Charging bulls

wouldn’t catch him, never mind cows!

Jesús Dude! Remember he cheated, all those years, he was using and enhancing

drug. So much taken for just one mistake. The cops did catch him.

Mauro Lots of thinking, but no working.. get on with it. This greased lightning must

be ready for the race pits- it better burn out the quarter mile.

Luis No scorpions will come any where close to us, we gonna smoke them!

Jairo Check list of what we need:

Pistons, brake pads, oil, filters, Rods, wheels, rims…

Maia Pink Lady 3: Marvel’s Avengers, but we’re doing our nails first

Mariana Rizzo: Well I don’t need mine doing, I’ve got shellac (shows ridiculous nails)

Atenea Pink lady: Ooh, hark at you!!

Cristina Pink Lady 1: I had that when we went to the races. I had it done at

Christine’s, and a spray tan too

Enya Pink Lady 2: I go to Jasmine’s beauty salon me, I had some Minx done there

Sara Frenchie: I did my training at York College, and now I’ve got work experience

Cristina Pink Lady: Oh my god FRENCHIE thanks. I think I need to bring my mom to

you

Isabella So do I, she needs more fashion and make up advice than a circus clown

THEY ALL LAUGH

Pía Pink Lady: You’ve got lots of other skills too haven’t you Frenchie? Tell

Sandy how you got your nickname?

Atenea I had wondered why they call you Frenchie. Please tell us.

Sara Frenchie: OH WELL, I don’t like telling the story, but I can show you. It’s all

about…

Isabella Moving, hopping, and jumping around. I exercise in Zumba!
