School Plays

The boys school here is technically a Church of England school. This means that they are still allowed to talk about God and Christ and all things religious. They don't teach doctrine, but we like that they are a school with faith based beliefs. They still have school plays here and obviously they still have a Christmas Play and can still call it a Christmas Play. The school has four grades. Nursery is our preschool. Reception is our Kindergarten. Year one and year two are equivalent to our first and second grades. Nursery and reception had its own play about the stable and Christ's birth. Year one and year two read The Night Before Christmas. Sergio was a sheep in the stable and Giovanni was one of the reindeer that pulled Santa's sleigh. The British are really creative and they can make almost anything from cardboard and glue. They just had the kids dress in all white, brown, grey or black. Then they wore masks that actually sat on their heads like hats so when they looked down, you could see the animal. It was too fun to watch the boys. Sergio was less than enthusiastic, but Giovanni loved it. Here are some pics. "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night......"
