Year 5 and Year 6 presented their Christmas Production on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th December. The theme was the traditional nativity story, but it imagined that many of the characters in the story had access to modern technology. So, Herod was trying to find out about the new king who the wise men were searching for by following their tweets on Twitter and seeking support from his followers on Facebook. The wise men found the way with the help of sat-nav and mobile phones, ipads and laptops were in use throughout. In the end, however, it was decided that none of this really changed the story.

The production was very well attended by family and friends and everyone in the huge cast (nearly sixty actors) was congratulated on excellent performances.

At the end of the week, older children from our choir went to sing carols at St. Andrew's House - a residential home for old people which is close to our school. There were lots of old people there and they made us very welcome again (even providing sweets and a drink for all the children).
