Thursday afternoon saw the school visit the New Wolsey theatre to watch Sinbad the Sailor Rock n Roll Panto. The children and accompanying adults, listened to the songs and talented musicians and laughed at the jokes. Everyone was very well behaved and we all had a great time.
On Wednesday afternoon and evening, the school hall was packed to the rafters and we felt we were getting a feel of how Mary & Joseph felt in Bethlehem! The only difference was, there was room at our inn (or school hall) and the children performed their nativity – The Magical Christmas Jigsaw – to packed audiences. […]
