Little Black Cloud

“This is the story of the Little Black Cloud,
Who wanted to share his rain around!”

As it’s nearly time to start planning for all those harvest assemblies and harvest / thanksgiving services, we wanted to take a look back at ‘The Little Black Cloud‘.

The Little Black Cloud Simple Harvest Musical Performance
The Little Black Cloud Simple Harvest Musical Performance

This always popular mini musical is one of the shortest, simplest performances that we’ve ever published. The Little Black Cloud was written in 2002 and eventually published in September 2004. It was actually designed purely as a harvest musical, to be used in UK schools. However, since then it has been performed all around the world, at all times of the year.

The simple story of a cloud who wants to share his lovely rain (even though so many people don’t seem to want it), is a tale which resonates with all countries and cultures. With its basic approach to environmental issues, its themes are always appropriate and will surely continue to be so for generations to come.

Here are some of the lovely comments that various customers have made about ‘The Little Black Cloud’:

Beautiful

“We used the little black cloud with a mixed group of 20 children with ages ranging from 3-11 and it went very well. Easy to use and the script was simply beautiful. Very well thought through and presented in a charming way with beautiful songs. Thank you ever so much.”
by Susan Morton

Thanks

“We used the little black cloud last year with the whole of KS1 & KS2 and enjoyed it so much that we’ve come back to buy another one this year! Thank you.”

Graded as Outstanding!

“Last year we did The Little Black Cloud with a cast of junior, infant and early years. On the day of the Harvest Festival an Ofsted inspector sat in and the assembly was graded as outstanding! It worked perfectly for the extremes of ages and the children had a lot of fun learning the songs. I am looking forward to doing something of yours that will be equally successful this year. Thank you.”
by T. Allan
