Entering into the Christmas spirit Reception and Years 1 and 2 at St Benedict’s School, Ealing, presented their Nativity Plays to audiences of parents and friends this week. All the children performed their parts with energy and enthusiasm and it was a great way to end the Michaelmas Term.
Reception children dazzled with their production of ‘Humph the Camel’ about a grumpy camel whose heart instantly melts when he meets the baby Jesus for the first time. An extra special vitality and energy was saved for the grand finale when pupils sang ‘Let it go’ from the film Frozen and even the Mums and Dads couldn’t help singing along to the infectious song from the blockbuster animation film of the year.
Year 1 presented their performance of ‘A present for the baby’ – a lovely story which reminded us that the gift of love is far more important than wealth and riches.
‘Are we nearly there yet?’ was the title of Year 2’s play. In the play the Walker family set off on a walking holiday and meet Mary and Joseph, who are making their own journey. God’s special angels are busy zooming around, ‘Faster than a rocket’ spreading the news to both Shepherds and Kings and all finally meet in Bethlehem to end the play with an energetic finale.
