Nursery Nativity - A King Is Born

The grand performance took place on Tuesday 4 December and dressed in their sparkling and brightly coloured costumes the children looked enchanting as they were led in to the big hall. Climbing on stage in front of a large audience of excited parents and grandparents takes more than a little courage, so for a second or two, the cast were wide-eyed as they searched for familiar faces in the crowd, but they soon got into their stride.

The production was a classic retelling of the nativity story and it was beautifully told. Those with lines delivered them carefully with perfect timing, whilst the supporting cast looked on. The singing was pitch perfect in ways that only under fours can pull out of the bag, bringing tears to the eyes of many who had come to watch. For half an hour the hall was completely spellbound as friends and family craned their necks to spot their little angel, king, shepherd or star trundling their way across the stage.

A King is Born drew to a close to rapturous applause. For many of our youngest pupils this was their first nativity and what a performance they gave; it was a lovely morning’s entertainment that ensured all went away full of good humour and festive spirit.

Congratulations to all our little stars and to Mrs Bird, Mrs O’Carroll-Bailey, Mrs Olden on piano, and all the Nursery team who made the perfect production possible.
