Autumn Term

KS2 Christmas Carol Concert - 13/12/23

At St Mary's Church, Kingston St. Mary, Robins & Woodpeckers classes gave a stunning performance of 'Straw and Order' - a nativity with a fun twist on the Christmas story. 

The cows and donkeys are in court arguing over ownership of an already cramped stable, when it becomes even more overcrowded with expectant parents, some shepherds and 3 Kings.  The judge witnesses the events of that special night first-hand and is overwhelmed by the sight of Jesus bringing peace and love into the world.

The concert was followed with mince pies and mulled wine to start the festive season.

Whole School Trip to the Pantomime - 11/12/23

The Whole School boarded buses to Westlands in Yeovil to watch the hilarious and fun-filled pantomime, Cinderella.  It was a very modern twist on the fairytale by Charles Perrault with singing, dancing and audience participation.  The children loved it but the adults enjoyed it more!
