Ce jeudi 11 février 2010 après-midi, les élèves de 4e et 3e du collège La Platière avaient rendez-vous avec Granny Smith : une grand-mère anglaise bien sympathique. Malgré la neige et le mauvais temps elle est bien venue.
Granny Smith c’est aussi le nom du spectacle en anglais présenté par Mme Tracey Boot, actrice anglaise de la Compagnie Théâtre Transformations de Chambéry. Ce spectacle intimiste et comique a plongé les élèves dans l’univers quotidien et la culture d’un personnage britannique… Cela a été l’occasion d’une rencontre entre les élèves et le personnage « Granny Smith » : une grand-mère anglaise qui porte un demi-masque et qui vit chez elle. Cette grand mère active et vivante leur a parlé d’elle-même, de sa famille, de ses amis, de ses activités, et a fait participer les élèves au spectacle en leur posant des questions. Ces derniers ne sont pas prêts de l’oublier.

Here is the summary about Granny Smith from 4e2 :

Cédric enjoyed the beginning : Granny Smith woke up, she was wearing a night dress and she was suprised when she saw the spectators.
Some spectators went on stage. One spectator chose the recipe.
We learnt how to cook an apple crumble.

Granny Smith was funny, she was wearing an apron.

She made lots of gestures to explain words :

-Core : enlever les pépins

-Sprinkle : saupoudrer

-Keep going : continue

-Warm up : s’échauffer

And she made us pronounce properly :

– crumbs : miettes

A performance at school

On Thursday, February 11th, an actress came to our school « La Platière ». Her stage name is Tracey Boot. She was born in Scotland, and now she lives in Chambery and she has two daughters. The performance was in the dining hall, four classes were here. The performance was given by the “Conseil Général du Rhône”. The scenery was simple, but really funny, it was the backstage too. First granny Smith had a mask, and we couldn’t see her face. She was wearing a dress and a hat. She played a scene with 3 students to cook an apple crumble. She used apples and an apron to work. After she spoke about tea and 2 students sang : it was a little musical. The performance was really funny and the audience laughed. Finally, all the spectators loved this performance, it was a good surprise.

Performance of Granny Smith

Yesterday, at 3 :15 p.m, we watched a comedy of Granny Smith. This performance was bought by the Conseil Général. Granny Smith is a woman. She’s English but she lives in Chambéry. She was born in Scotland. The audience was watching her when she woke up. She asked Amina to read the cook-book. She asked Mehdi, Léa and Dylan to help her to peel the apples. Malek and Cyndie did the mixture. She prepared some black-tea. It wasn’t an English tea and she didn’t like it. I loved this performance because some of us took part in the play.

Granny Smith,
a funny comedy

On the eleventh of February, an actress, Tracey Boot, came to the canteen of our school to perform a play. The performance was bought by the « Conseil Général ». The actress is British but she lives in Chambéry, France. She wore a mask.

The play took place at Granny Smith’s home. Granny Smith, a grand-mother, was waiting for her best friend for the afternoon tea. First, Granny woke up. She put her shoes on and she trained. She also asked us to train. That was funny. Second, she prepared an apple crumble. Then, she asked pupils to peel apples. Granny asked another pupil to mix the ingredients and to cut apples and butter too.

To conclude, I liked this play, it’s a very funny play.
