The Winter Show

by Alan Cornish, Head of Primary

The jewel in the crown of Term 1 was, for so many people, the Winter Show. The hall was full, the raffle prizes impressive (thanks for all the donations), and the atmosphere electric.

As always, Early Years stole the show because nobody can compete with that level of cuteness. They sang beautifully too. Our Year 1 and 2 children (all of them) performed a charming Nativity called Whoops a Daisy Angel, about an angel that always gets it wrong, but triumphs in the end – an HPL kind of angel for sure.

And for Aladdin in Trouble we had the biggest ever cast: 56 children performing a panto like no other for the delight of the audience, who all got into the spirit of the night. Oh no they didn’t! Oh yes they did! Well, you get the point. A panto is supposed to be silly with bad jokes and lots of fun, and this is what the actors delivered to a packed hall. They deserved their encore and the memories that will last a lifetime.
