Theatre
Our Nativity
Our first performance to a
captive audience. Over the
weeks before the Nativity
production, the children
practised little bits at a time

learning the songs in Music
lessons. I think we can all

mishaps increased our
enjoyment of the occasion.

toy hairclips, aprons and brushes. A child
may call up the barber and arrange an

trim.
The conversations are stimulating
and it is lovely to see how caring
and attentive the children are when
pampering their peers.
The teachers in Nursery
have had a wonderful
time experiencing the
magic of theatre as the children performed shows ranging
from interpretations of their favourite stories to
improvisations from the jungle. From ice palaces to
treetops with sound effects and songs,
the puppet theatre gives our children
opportunities to build confidence,
exchange ideas and extend their
vocabulary. They have used this
resource exhaustively and the benefits
are self-evident in their communication
skills.
