Together, Year 3 & 4 put on our Christmas Production for parents.
It was called 'The Donkey Seller' and told the story of the Nativity through the eyes of a loyal seller and his herd of donkeys.

Eventually the donkey seller herself travels to see the amazing arrival in Bethlehem.

"I was part of the sheep chorus and we got to do some fun joke lines in sheep voices" - Maro
"I played one of the main donkeys called Snuggle. I had lots of lines to learn and was a bit nervous, but it was fun performing it for parents" - Connie
