The wait is over! We look forward to welcoming you tomorrow afternoon. Please remember to bring any extra costume clothing in the morning. The children have all worked so hard and we would like to thank families for helping to learn songs, lines and dances!

We made it to the stage today and it was a great success, but we still have lots of work to do.

For children who have lines can we please ask that they practise as much as they can and bring words to school every day.

Sheep – Black trousers/leggings and black top, preferably long sleeve.

Cows/Oxen – Black trousers/leggings and black top, preferably long sleeve.

Angels – White t-shirt and tights. We do have extra tights in school if you do not have any at home.

All other cast members have full costume but may wish to wear a t-shirt and trousers/leggings underneath as it can be warm on the stage.
