Can you believe it’s been 3 whole years since our pupils last took to the stage to perform at Christmas time?! Today they were back with a vengeance with their Christmas play ‘Who Took all the Loo Roll?’ The show tells the story of a group of aliens who have been watching us humans from a distant planet and are intrigued by our Christmas traditions, so they decide to visit to learn more.
They are baffled by: the gifting of loo roll (having panic-bought it during covid!); mistletoe (a feeling that is only enhanced when they see great-granny trying to land a smackeroonie on everyone – quite literally as Alexander Clark ran around the audience with some mistletoe!!!) and the most hated vegetable – brussel sprouts! The story culminates in the aliens finding out about why humans celebrate Christmas, with everyone learning that the real hero is actually the donkey – how else would Mary have got to Bethlehem?!
Pupils have been working really hard this term to learn their lines and lyrics and I think anyone who came to watch the show can agree, it definitely paid off! It was lovely to see everyone back together again sharing in the children’s achievements!
