A wonderful celebration!


Stable Manners December 2014

KS2 delighted us all once again with their Christmas production of Stable Manners. Held in church, each class contributed their own dramatic interpretation of one of the songs, as well as contribution to the overall presentation as part of the mass choir.

This saw dancing sheep, angels wearing sunglasses, line dancing shepherds, rocking kings and camels, a martial arts chicken and a whole host of other characters and animals. All contributing to a festive celebration of the birth of Christ.

In addition children from year 5 took the main parts in a drama that gave us a talking chicken, a sheep and a cow as well as rats, and a performance in memory of  'poor Neddy'!  As part of this we were treated to some wonderful solo's, some engaging banter and lots of humour.

Creativity and energy flowed through the whole performance and the final presentation by our signing group of the latest version of the Band Aid song, ' Do they know its Christmas' brought the presentation to a wonderful conclusion.

Staff and children have all worked hard to bring this together and they should be very proud of their achievement. St John's church is always a very atmospheric setting for this production and I know that both audiences thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.

We have been collecting after each of our presentations in order to make a donation to The Children's Society and we have really appreciated the support that we have received again this year. Many thanks.
