At The Car Wash!

 



Sandton Lower Primary classes rolled up their shirts and practised "cleaning cars" with their sponges, buckets and cleaning materials in the structured improvisation "Whose Idea Was It". An important part of the drama programme is getting children used to using props and multi tasking during improvisations.
