Portpatrick pupils took to the stage for the first time in 3 years, not once but twice today, to perform their Christmas show ‘Who Took all the Loo Roll?’ The show tells the story of 3 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.<\/p>\n

They are baffled by: the gifting of loo roll (having panic-bought it during covid!), mistletoe (a feeling that is only enhanced when great-granny tries to land a smackeroonie on everyone, but luckily there is enough spare toilet roll to wipe it off!) 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?!<\/p>\n

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 in the building again sharing in the children’s achievements!<\/p>\n
