Fame Factory Spotlight Ltd in association with Northumbrian Water are proud to present Little Green Riding Hood.

Started from an idea from our writer Scott Clarkson’s 9 year old daughter Bethany where they chatted about re-cycling and being green and how she felt her school did not teach enough about it and they chatted all about being green and helping the environment we live in and from that conversation Little Green was born

Little Green Riding Hood is a new exciting production for schools, appealing to all of key stage 1 & 2 all about the importance of being "green" and not wasting water. With the baddie Mr. Wolf leaving taps on and wasting water, our hero Little Green jumps into action and aided by Granny they teach Mr. Wolf where and why he is going wrong, and how to be good. Comedy is added by Jack Sprat our "village idiot" who always gets things wrong.

Fame Factory Spotlight have a history of delivering first class children’s show and pantomimes both touring and in theatres. Using all their knowledge, they bring these exciting shows to you all wrapped up in a pantomime style production.

After the show there will be a short recess of around 15 minutes, this will be followed by a workshop with the actors for all the children back in the main hall where the performance was, Reception and Year 1 will be have a separate workshop back in the class room. The work shop will last approximately half an hour. Within the workshop, the children are free to ask any questions about any of the issues raised during the show. There will also be a demonstration on how the water is recycled, with a step by step visual explanation.

There will also be 2 large display stand’s which will be Good Habits and Bad Habits the children will be asked to select a habit out of the "Habit Bucket" and decide which wall it should belong on, with help from the audience, they are encourage to shout out and explain their choice and why they feel it is a good habit and bad habit.

The School will be provided with a large rainbow, which we will ask to hang in a suitable place within your hall. The children will then be given 2 water drops and asked to write or draw a "good habit" on one which they will hang on the rainbow, and on the other, they will be asked to write or draw their "bad habit", which we will take away (this will go to Northumbrian Water as research for them to prove that they are positively and actively spreading messages to children)

The children will also learn just how important water is to us today and how we get it to our taps and learn some cool interesting facts and maybe something completely new for them to think about like The water on earth today is the same water that has always been here. The same water used by the dinosaurs, the cavemen, the Romans, medieval knights, Victorians and our grandparents. Water is constantly being recycled, in the water cycle there is no new water. or Water is vital for all life. You could survive for a month or so without food but less than a week without water. Water is the most natural, healthy thing we can drink, our bodies are 70% water and our brains are 78% water, so it is important to drink water to keep our minds and bodies active.
