Sample Text:
(Enter Child 14 – holding Archery, Shooting and Fencing banner - and Child 15)
Narrator: Oh my! What do we have here? Bows and arrows? I didn’t realise we were taking part in a Robin Hood production!
Child 15: We’re not! Archery is a very serious sport, I’ll have you know! Watch and learn! You start by drawing
Narrator: Oh, an art lesson, goodie!
Child 15: No, silly! Drawing is when you pull back on the bow string, like this (demonstrates) and then release your arrow in the direction of your boss.
Narrator: Now wait a minute! Just because you’ve fallen out with your boss
Child 15: No and no! No, I haven’t fallen out with my boss – the boss is the black square block to which the target is attached!
Narrator: (Wiping his brow) Thank goodness for that!
