KS1 Christmas Performance 2015 - 'Babushka' Staff and children are bursting with pride for our KS1 children this week after they put on a show stopping performance of 'Babushka', the tale of an old Russian lady whose heart was filled with love from Jesus. There was not a dry eye in the house as they magically told the story through wonderful narration, acting, dancing and even solo singing! Mrs Gray and Mr McDonald were even left speechless! Well done everyone! Thank you to our audiences and those who have bought photographs. They will be sent home next week.
