As four friends wait at the bus stop on their last ever day at primary school, they reminisce about people and events that have shaped their lives so far. Through hilarious yet poignant songs and sketches, we discover what a truly unforgettable place school can be and why it’s so difficult to say goodbye.

It is unlikely you will want to perform every scene and song, so below is a guide to help you choose those you want to include in your production. Continuity scenes have been written to introduce and link each main scene, though you may wish to personalise this aspect of the show with your own memories of the specific areas of school life covered.
All continuity scenes
Whilst waiting at the bus stop to catch the bus to school on their very last day of Year 6, four friends re-live the experiences that have made being at primary school such an adventure. Their conversation and memories provide the introduction to each of the main scenes in the play, and through these we come to understand the importance of, and their fondness for, the events and characters they are discussing.
Characters: Ben, Ali, Rachel and Emma
Scene 1 (associated song – Monday Morning Routine)
Enjoy the chaos that is a Monday morning in the classroom! With registration, lunch money to collect, mums wanting ‘a word’, lost shoes, late children and lots more, will our over-wrought teacher remember who’s supposed to be taking assembly?
Characters: Teacher, 12 Children, a Mum
Scene 2 (associated song – Hey TA!)
Discover just how indispensable our teaching assistants are, as a hapless teacher struggles to make a confused class understand some simple maths! In a hilarious bit of role reversal find out who really wears the trousers (or should that be rubber gloves) in the classroom!
Characters: Teacher, Teaching Assistant, 6 Children, 2 Infants
Scene 3 (associated song – PE Nightmare)
An outdoor PE session in the wind and rain, when dressed only in flimsy vests and shorts, is not something the children are relishing. How fantastic then, that their teacher is willing to show a bit of ‘solidarity’ and lead by example, joining them for a couple of laps of the field.
Characters: Teacher, 6 Children
Scene 4 (associated song – School Trip Boogie)
After the back seat scramble, the umpteenth head count, the complaints from a grumpy driver, travel sickness and countless verses of ‘The Wheels On The Bus’, will the class get to the zoo in time for the historic birth of a baby panda?
Characters: Teacher, 2 Adult Helpers, Bus Driver, 8 Children
Scene 5 (associated song – The SATs Blues)
Find out what goes through the minds of three very different children as they sit down to do a Maths SAT paper. From blind panic to the creative use of a mirror for cheating, it goes to prove that doing a test is anything but boring!
Characters: 3 Children
Scene 6 (associated song – New School Dinner)
What has been the real outcome of Jamie Oliver’s campaign for improved school dinners? Decide whether it really is a blessing, as these children choose from a Michelin-star menu, under the watchful eye of a front-of-house team who will not accept bad manners or sloppy dining habits!
Characters: 4 Cooks, 5 Dinner Ladies, 8 Children
Scene 7 (associated song – Silent Night? Not Quite!)
If you only perform one scene, it has to be this one! Watch in horror (and delight!) as the infant nativity play descends into chaos! With decapitated dolls, a flattened donkey, fighting wise-men, angels with stage fright and a teacher about to explode, this is five minutes that will bring the house down!
Characters: Teacher, 3 Angels, Gabriel, Mary, Joseph, Donkey (both ends!), Innkeeper, 5 Shepherds, 3 Wise Men
Scene 8 (associated song – I Wish I Was An Infant Again)
Why do infants seem to get such an easy ride? Afternoon play times, shoe laces tied for them, lots of playing in the sand……? All is not as it seems, as we discover just how easily the ‘little ones’ can pull the wool over our eyes!
Characters: 6 Infants, 2 Parents, Teacher, Teaching Assistant
Scene 9 (associated song – Yucky Stuff)
With the last day of term upon us, the teacher is busy stripping walls while the class watch a DVD. We soon realise, however, that what the children think is suitable viewing material is not really what the teacher had in mind!
Characters: 6 Children, Teacher, 7 Shakespearean Characters
Scene 10 (associated song – Goodbye My Friend)
A chance for everyone to say goodbye, with a big emotional sing-song!
Characters: your whole cast!

This was a great show to celebrate us moving on. The last song Goodbye My Friend made everyone burst out into tears. 😭😭😭😭The nativity scene is well worth the practise of the synchronised talking, as many of the audience memebers were in helpless fits of laughter😅😅😅😅. This is a must do show. ☺☺☺ the end result was great. ☺☺😊😊
