Issue 8 This Christmas we are

performing a Christmas play

called Angels Up High. It is

about a group of angels who act

in an innocent and kind way,

but they really are naughty

and always squabbling. Angel

Gabriel has a really hard time

keeping them well behaved.

Also there is a dishonest

innkeeper and his thieves who

look through the guest’s bags

trying to find something of

value to keep. However the

angels manage to work their

magic and make them into

kind people. In the end the

characters all come together to

celebrate the birth of Jesus.

The songs (in order)

The Angel Gabriel song

Littles angels

Just keep travelling on

Something for a rainy day

It’s a long way on a donkey

Won-won-wonderful

Glory to god

Angels up high

The main parts were

performed by the year

Sixes and they are …

Gabriel- Jaime - May

Innkeeper - Chloe P

Joseph - Cameron Mc

Mary - Jessica D

Herod - James W

Balthazar - Joel Ruddock

Melchior - Brandon Kirk

Casper - Lewis Streeton

We are having a great time

performing this play and have

done three shows. Thank you

to Mrs Hatten, Mrs Ruddock,

Mrs Blakemore, Mrs Nairn

and Mrs Harvey for all the

great props and costumes.

Also a massive thank you to

all the teachers and especially

Mrs Owen and her daughter

Meg Owen who adapted the

play to ensure everyone had a

part.

By Joel and James

Note: A big thank you to the

PTFA who organised the

Raffle for each performance

and provided the refreshments

at each performance too.

Also the part of the Star was

played by Nia Rodway who

choreographed her solo dance

at home. Well done Nia! It

was beautiful.

Our trip to the Roses

Theatre in Tewkesbury

On the 4th of December we

went to the Roses theatre in

Tewksbury to see Cinderella.

The stars were: Cinderella, the

wicked step mother, the two

ugly step sisters, Prince

Charming, Dan Dini (the

servant), Buttons, Mouse and

security.

During the intermission we got

ice cream, and waited for the

play to continue.

At the start, the actors

announced the schools and

Pre-schools that were there.

One teacher (Mrs Lana) from

another school had a birthday

so we had to sing happy

birthday to her.

Just before the intermission

Cinderella got led to the

Prince’s palace by a robotic,

flying unicorn. This looked

brilliant!

Everybody laughed a lot when

the ugly stepsister sat on Chloe

Payne’s dads lap! We also

caught some sweets that were

thrown into the audience. We

had a really good morning and

everyone had lots of fun. (Oh

yes we did!!!)

Reading Challenge Football Match

Reports

Huntley V Waterwells

When we got to the pitch we

practiced before the match. Well

I forgot I had my bag on my back

so I ran to put it down then came

back! Then, I forgot my keeper

gloves then I had to run up

again to get them! Finally I got

in the goal ready to save most of

the shots.

In the first half we were 2-0 up

and we felt sure we could win!

But they scored so it was 2-1.

Then they got it back up our end

then I dived but they kicked it

in! The referee said it counted so

it was 2-2! Then half time they

scored again so sadly it was

3-2 to Waterwells. Then

nothing really happened from there and they won 3-2. The 2

people that scored on our

team were Callum and Max.

Then we had some Haribos

and packed away. A really

big Thank you to Miss

Ingram for coaching us and

taking us to all the matches

this season.

Thank you also to Mr Love,

Mrs Ruddock, Mrs Rawlings

and Ms Leslie for all your

support.

Written by Brandon Kirk

transport and team support.

Without your help it wouldn’t be
