Christmas has certainly arrived at St Peter's 2-8!
Last week all children at St Peter's 2-8 performed their incredible Christmas plays to their family and friends. Year 1 performed ‘Ralph the Dinodeer’, Year 2 performed ‘Bah Humbug!’ and Year 3 performed ‘Cinderella and Rockerfella’ on the big stage in the Memorial Hall. The children were sensational; they sang, acted and danced throughout all three plays with so much confidence and with huge smiles on their faces. The children did incredibly well going on stage to do all those songs and dances in front of a big audience. For Year 1 and 2 it was their first-ever show on a very big stage and they did a brilliant job.
Our Nursery pupils performed ‘Away In A Manger’. The children also sang several Christmas songs and had their premiere showing of the Conkers Christmas film. They were so confident, and you wouldn’t have thought that the children were only 2, 3 and 4 years old. Huge congratulations to all the Nursery children.
The children in Reception performed ‘On a Starry Night’ in the Rayson Room. This was an original script based on the Christmas story with songs from Take That, Shaggy, Aretha Franklin, Dolly Parton, Marvyn Gaye, Mariah Carey and The Monkees. The children were amazing!
It was wonderful to have a real-life audience for the first time in two years and the children loved performing to them all.
Our thanks go to the parents, grandparents and supporters of the school who created a fabulous atmosphere for the children. We would also like to thank the staff who wrote the scripts, choreographed dance moves, directed the plays, created the sets and props, designed all costumes and worked incredibly hard to stage-manage the plays whilst the children were performing. Thank you also to the catering team who provided refreshments and the Estates team who helped prepare all the performing spaces. Thank you to the IT team who organised the live streaming of these productions to the children's families. Finally thank you to Mrs Hayden. The music in all the performances was outstanding and she has rehearsed with all the children in school learning all the songs for the productions.
