Our T1 pupils lit up the Byron House stage with festive sparkle and imagination in their Nativity performance, 'Christmas with the Aliens'. The production was bursting with catchy songs and lively actions that had the whole audience clapping, dancing and joining in. Children and staff created a show that was joyful, confident and full of heart and a true celebration of music, movement and festive fun.
The cast featured aliens, shepherds who kept waking up from their sleep, DJ camels with amazing moves and even Mr Evans as a snowman all adding to the fun and creativity of the performance. The children sang with confidence and joy, filling the hall with music and excitement. Their energetic bows and beaming smiles at the end captured the pride they felt in sharing their work.
I liked it when the DJ Camels said their favourite things were eating steak, climbing trees and doing karate.
'Christmas with the Aliens' is a modern nativity play where aliens who crash-land on Earth discover the Christmas story from a group of schoolchildren rehearsing their traditional nativity play. The aliens become fascinated and want to share the story with the universe, but they must also fix their spaceship before they can go home.
Mr Evans made the funniest snowman ever! It was really fun building him as a snowman.
Beyond the sparkle and laughter, 'Christmas with the Aliens' was also a rich learning experience for the children. Standing on stage gave them the chance to grow in confidence, finding their voices and learning to project with pride. Rehearsals became moments of teamwork, as they encouraged one another and discovered how much stronger they could be together. Their imaginative roles, from fun-loving aliens to DJ camels, allowed creativity to shine, while the process of practising lines and songs taught them resilience and the joy of persevering.
Most importantly, the performance gave them the thrill of sharing their achievements with family and friends, a reminder of how celebration and community spirit can nurture young learners in such meaningful ways.
