Oh dear….we’ve been busy bees here at Theatrebugs HQ! So busy….we haven’t had a chance to tell you how wonderful our Easter Courses went!
We’ll let some of the mums do that for you…..
“My son Joe attended the St Luke’s course at Easter. He had a lovely time and I’m really grateful to the staff for helping him to settle in on the first morning – he was very wobbly about being left but they looked after him really well and he was really happy to go back on the second day!”
Sally, Joe’s mum, Balham
“Jack loved the course last week….we can’t wait for the summer one!”
Michelle, Jack’s mum, Twickenham
Anyway…in the end Sniff the Frog and Splash the Fish made it safely across to the other side of the pond with a little help from the Pond Fairy and the bravery stone! We don’t think Mr. Crow will be bothering them again any time soon.
The sun is shinning and bookings are now open for our Summer Courses! Have a peek at our holiday workshops page for full details….we’re getting very excited!!
Don’t forget to book your child’s place on a wonderful three day adventure that is guarantee to entertain, stimulate and captivate your child’s imagination.
They will dive into a story all about Sniff the Frog and Spalsh the Fish…two best friends who are trying to cross the pond to smell the beautiful flowers at the other side…but they are stopped each time by a very grumpy crow. Luckily, the Pond Fairy is nearby and she gives them a loan of a bravery stone which gives them enough courage to stand up to mean old Mr. Crow
Dancing, singing, acting, dressing up and arts and crafts…what could possibly be better? Give us a tinkle on the Bug phone today to reserve your place!
Can’t wait to see you there!
Our Caterpillars and Cocoons are counting lots of shamrocks this week and they are singing wonderful songs to make them grow too!
I’m a little shamrock, small and green, count my three leaves if you please, if you give me raindrops and lots of sun, I’ll bring you good luck and lots of fun!
Our Butterflies are hearing all about a silly hissy snake who won’t leave poor Patrick alone! Luckily for him he has a trick or two up his sleeve to get all those hissy snakes out of Ireland; he might need some help from the boys and girls though!
We’ll dance and clap with the Irish, we’ll dance and clap with the Irish, we’ll dance and clap with the Irish, on this St Patrick’s Day! Hurray!

We check in regularly with our nurseries to make sure the Theatrebugs magic is still working. Below are just some of the lovely comments we have received from our wonderful nurseries so far this term:
“We love the educational side to the preschool “Back in Time” term. The children are really engaging with the stories!”
Aggie, Yellow Room Leader, The Village Nursery, Barnes
“The stories are great and really at their level!”
Room Leader, Preschool Room, One Nine Seven Early Years, Kingston
“The Theatrebugs Counting term has really helped our little ones this term; they are always counting after you leave!”
Room Leader, Baby Room, One Nine Seven Early Years, Kingston
“After the Theatrebugs lesson the children are much more imaginative and their concentration and behaviour improves for the rest of the day”
Lorraine, Manager, Independent Place Day Nursery, Dalston Kingsland
Thanks for all your great feedback! It makes us smile…

That’s right! We are all excited here at Theatrebugs HQ….outside the rain is pattering against the window but inside our minds are on happier, sunnier, yummier times….our Easter Drama, Music and Dance Workshops! We are preparing Sniff the Frog for his wonderful adventure across the pond with his best friend Splash the Fish. But will they overcome the grumpy crow and find their way to the other side? Maybe the Pond Fairy and her magical bravery stone will help?

This week our butterflies are discovering all about the Jade Emperor’s Great Race; as they gallop through the river avoiding the slippery snake, waking up the sleepy pig and helping the cat and the rat cross without getting wet!
Our Caterpillars and Cocoons are watching five lovely lanterns flying in the sky and helping Carla the Counting Cat give them to her friends!
Chinese dragon, Chinese dragon, breathing fire, breathing fire, happy, happy new year, happy, happy new year, gung hay fat choy, gung hay fat choy!
Gung Hay Fat Choy everyone! Happy New Year!
That’s right: our Butterfly classes are hearing all about a little superhero called Cupid this week; whose job it is to zoom around the world and make everyone’s hearts beat faster by zapping his magical bow and arrow!
We’re not forgetting our little Caterpillars and Coccons either; they are helping Carla the Counting Cat to pick five lovely flowers for Valentine’s Day….hurray!
Oh will you be my Valentine, my Valentine, my Valentine, oh will you be my Valentine and love me every day?
Oh yes I’ll be your Valentine, your Valentine, your Valentine, oh yes I’ll be your Valentine and love you every day!
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! From all at the Bug HQ
