Kindergarten’s rendition of their nativity production, Whoops-a-Daisy Angel, was broadcast live to the school community this year so everyone could share the children’s production and all their hard work leading up to the performance. We were fortunate to be able to invite parents to watch in person. This delightful nativity play tells the story of a disorganised but loveable angel who is chosen to show the way to Bethlehem.
While the angels in Heaven are busy going about their special duties efficiently and smoothly, Whoopsie, a slightly accident-prone angel who is never trusted with the important jobs, finds herself counting snowflakes again. This year, however, things are different: God Himself charges Whoopsie with the task of telling the world about the imminent birth of Jesus, the Saviour of the World. In spite of a few mishaps, including some rather bumpy landings and some very frightened shepherds to name but a few, Whoopsie excels in her role and, for once, gets it right.
Head of Drama, Mr Tim Clarke, commented, 'These youngest children were a true joy to work with throughout the journey of their first nativity from the early rehearsals to getting them ready to be on the stage itself. They were calm, focused and listened incredibly well to instructions and had a level of support for each other which is rare for children of such a young age.' One Kindergarten child explained, 'I really liked the part when God got on his train!' and another said. 'I loved it when the kings danced and then played hide and seek; it was so funny!'
