Final Panto Roadshow Day

The pre-panto chools tour came to an end today with appearences at schools in Jersey Marine, Baglan, Briton Ferry and Neath.

The first school that I went to was very small with no more than about 60 children, very different to Blaen Baglan where there must have been well over 300 in the school hall.

Below is a lovely piece from tonight's edition of the Evening Post about last week's visit the Penyrheol Primary.


Pupils at Penyrheol Primary School had to do a double take when two school cooks called Sarah turned up to make their lunches.But only one of them was supposed to be there.The other, better known as Swansea entertainer Kevin Johns, is playing Sarah the cook in Dick Whittington, this year's pantomime at Swansea Grand Theatre.

Kev spent time with years three and four learning about dental hygiene as well as meeting up with real cook Sarah Robinson.

School head teacher Alison Williams said: "He was fantastic. He's a very good friend to the school, and whenever he comes he's always in different attire."It was lovely to see him here with our cook.

They are both Sarahs, they are both school cooks, and both are important members of the school community.

"The children will definitely be going to see the panto."

I can't wait to see them all there!
