Duffy Theatre Performance

On the first day back at school, LS1 and a few other classes went to the hall to watch a Duffy theater performance. The act was called the cloakroom bully and the actors were Melanie, Chantell and Duffy. In the beginning they sang the Duffy song and everyone sang along with them doing the sign language actions. In the first part Chantell and Duffy were practicing football for the grand finals. Melanie walked through and showed off a few of her skills. Duffy was really impressed and tried to introduce himself and start up a conversation. Chantell was jealous and interrupted to get Duffy back. When Duffy wasn't around, Chantell was being very rude and mean to Melanie, and called her names. At lunch everyone was searching through their bags to get their lunch, but Chantell didn't have one. Chantell seen Melanie pull out her lunchbox with her lunch inside. Chantell forced Melanie to give it up and so she did. Inside was a Vegemite and cheese sandwich but Chantell still had it.  In the next scene Duffy was wondering around, with butterflies in his stomach because he was so nervous for the grand finals. Then he heard a noise come from in the bathroom, he didn't know if he should check it out or go to practice. Neither did he know what the noise was, but then he listened closer and it was someone crying. From help from the audience, he decided to check the noise out, hoping that coach would understand. Just then, Melanie came out the bathroom crying, and Duffy asked what was wrong. She explained to him that someone was taking their lunch everyday, calling them names all the time, and even making mean faces too. Duffy thought about it and concluded that this was a bully. The last thing Duffy wanted to know was their name. Melanie was too scared to let him know that it was his best friend Chantell, so she just called her the Cloakroom bully. In class Melanie was late and of course Chantell mocked her for it. Later on Duffy gave her a book called The Halloween Bully for her to read. She did and she was hooked on it. It was about a Skeleton who was bullied by a ghost. Melanie also decided to pass the book on to Chantell. After Chantell read it, she decided to say sorry to Melanie for all that she did and in the end, Melanie joined the Football team to play in the Grand Finals with them.
