Our youngest year group delighted families and friends last week with their spirited performance of the nativity play Not Such a Silent Night. With sparkling costumes, catchy songs and boundless enthusiasm, the Kindergarten children brought the Christmas story to life in a way that was both heartwarming and unforgettable. From the very first moments to the joyful finale, the children filled the stage with energy and delight. Their voices rang out with confidence, and their smiles lit up the hall as they shared the timeless story in their own unique way.
Singing with my friends made me feel really happy and doing the air guitar.
Teachers praised the children’s efforts and reflected on the significance of the occasion. One teacher remarked that it is vital for the youngest pupils to experience the joy of performing together, as it helps them to build confidence, teamwork, and an understanding of the true meaning of Christmas. Another observed that the children brought such warmth to the story and their excitement reminded everyone how magical this season can be.
Not Such a Silent Night merges the traditional story of Jesus' birth with a humorous twist: the stable in Bethlehem is incredibly noisy, with animals causing chaos, leading a lost lamb to run away until he's guided home by an angel, finding peace and family just as Mary and Joseph arrive, turning the night noisy with celebration, not silence.
I loved being a horse because I got to gallop and dance onto the stage. It made me feel really excited and proud!
Parents and staff joined in the applause, moved by the children’s enthusiasm and the way generations came together to celebrate. The performance was not only a festive highlight but also a testament to the school’s commitment to nurturing creativity, confidence, and community spirit from the very earliest years. As the final notes of Not Such a Silent Night echoed through the hall, the audience left with hearts full of joy and gratitude and proof that even the youngest voices can make the season shine brighter.
