BadJelly the Witch


What better way to spend an evening than to boo the villains and cheer the good guys! Halfmoon Bay School did a fab adaptation of Spike Milligan's 'BadJelly the Witch' last Thursday and thoroughly entertained the audience. All the children took part and they did an amazing job - not just on the stage but in the band as well.

A picture is worth a thousand words so will leave it to the photos to do the talking...

BadJelly and Dulboot plotting how to find children to eat

Lucy the cow wandered from her field and was taken back
to BadJelly's castle. Rose and Tim set off to find her.

Rose and Tim shelter at Binklebonk's house (right) to keep safe from
the Trouser Robbers (centre)

Mudwiggle the Worm and Dingle Mouse help Rose and Tim across the river

BadJelly changed the policeman into an Apple Tree

After climbing the mountain Rose and Tim get tricked by BadJelly

Oh no! Dulboot ties Tim and Rose up and they're going to be eaten in the
morning! Just as well Dingle Mouse hid in Tim's pocket - he chewed
through their ropes before escaping through the window bars.

Jim's an eagle and flies to the rescue after Dingle Mouse calls for help

BadJelly catches up with them but God intervenes

Jim flies Lucy, Rose, Tim and Dingle Mouse safely back home to Mum
and Dad, Fluffy Bum and Pom Pom

Curtain call - thanking the band
With 12 scenes and the same number of songs, the production team and children put in a huge effort for a very appreciative audience. Well done!!
