Drama
I
t has been another difficult year for Drama pupils and teaching staff, with a number of performances postponed or restricted due to year group bubbles and national lockdowns. Still, teachers and staff in all three sections of the school have worked hard to deliver a number of outstanding productions this year. The show must go on! Ho Ho Ho What A Show Children from St Peter’s 2-8 performed a number of Christmas shows for family and friends to enjoy at home. Over 235 children took part in five performances in December, which were livestreamed using a special streaming service. The login details were shared with parents who were able to watch the shows remotely. Nursery sang a selection of Christmas Singsongs whilst Reception performed Ho Ho Ho What a Show. Year 1 chose an alternative nativity called Prickly Hay whilst Year 2 performed The Nutcracker. The performances concluded with Year 3’s production Lights, Camel, Action, featuring dancing camels and a tango dance between shepherds and their brooms. Mr Phil Hardy, Head of St Peter’s 2-8, said: “It is so important that the children can feel the magic and wonder of Christmas at school, and at St Peter’s 2-8 we transformed our main hall into a film set allowing children from Nursery to Year 3 to each perform their Christmas show.”
