The Christmas message has reached the final frontier, thanks to children at HSD!
Pupils in the Early Years have just completed a mission to spread seasonal cheer to parents, guests, fellow pupils, and even little green men, by performing their intergalactic Nativity play, ‘An Out of this World Christmas’.
Featuring a sack-full of catchy tunes, the uplifting production told the tale of four brave astronauts who set off on an adventure to the far reaches of space, only to crash-land on a distant planet! Faced with the prospect of not being able to return home by December 25, the plucky astral explorers have to teach their strange alien hosts all about the true meaning of Christmas to win their help and make it back in time!
With the stage filled with colourful characters, every child in L1-3 – and a few familiar faces from L4 – played a part.
Show Director, Deputy Head Claire Proudfoot, said, “I’m so proud of all our children. They put on a great show and did a fantastic job learning all their lines, dances and movements.
“It’s always an event to look forward to in the Junior Years festive calendar and we all hope that parents, guests and pupils enjoyed watching as much as we enjoyed performing!”
Last year’s performances raised £650 for the ARCHIE Foundation and 500 miles, and donations received at this year’s shows will be given to Young Lives vs Cancer, a charity which supports children and young people with cancer, and their families.
