“We absolutely adored it. The songs are beautiful and the story is so simple and cute. A real winner.”

C Bruce – Teacher

Very flexible, with two editable scripts you can perform this production with any number of children from 10 to 100+.

Very flexible. Depending on which of the two included scripts you use, the approximate running time is 10-20 minutes. However, this time span can easily be shortened or lengthened significantly. Suggestions for how to do this are included in the detailed ‘Production Notes’ which you find contained within your purchase.

Short on rehearsal time? No problem, we know from experience that it’s possible to rehearse the simple version of this play in a few days. What’s the secret? During the show, read from the simple script version, so that no one has any lines to learn. As for the songs, simply divide them up! Don’t get ALL the children to learn ALL the songs, instead share them between children, classes or year groups, so that no one has more than 2 or 3 songs to remember. If you follow this advice to the letter, you may even be able to rehearse this show in just a day!

Spring Topic Sorted

“An easy peasy springtime performance with charm and humour. We absolutely loved using it. It hardly took any time at all and the children gained so much valuable education from it. It ended up being the hub of the wheel which was our entire Spring topic.”

Loved It

"We only bought the Our First Spring download to have some seasonal songs to sing along to in our day nursery, but we loved it all so much that we ended up doing a little performance for the parents, which is something we've never done before. So I just wanted to thank you for providing such well thought out and well presented resources, which gave us the confidence to try something new. :):):)"

Thank You

“Thank you for producing Our First Spring. We used it with our whole early years and infant departments combined (130 children) but we only made three small changes. Firstly we changed the title to 'Spring Chick's Egg-cellent Easter'. Secondly we had half a dozen spring-chicks and dozens of every other animal mentioned in the script, rather than just one of each. And thirdly we added a few extra of our own assembly songs so we had 10 songs in total. The whole performance was a great success and seeing over a hundred small children dressed in your clever animal masks was such a sweet thing to see. Every child loved taking part, no matter what age they were and the parents were amazed. I'm certain that next year we'll be using one of your 'Our First Easter' cds in a similar way.”

PERFECT

"We don't usually do any type of performance at Easter time, but having loved using Our First Nativity (One & Two) and Our First Christmas Play, we couldn't resist having a go at Our First Spring. It was very simple to put together and the children responded excellently. We always do a Springtime topic at this time of year anyway, and this just fitted in perfectly. Highly recommended."

Great Easter Assembly

“Our Year 1 children performed 'Our First Spring' for our Easter Celebration Assembly. It genuinely is an excellent performance, which was great fun to use! The children remembered the lines easily and sung the catchy songs with ease and confidence. It was very easy to stage, and the included face masks were a godsend. Very impressive!”
