INN 355 (said three, five, five. Not three hundred and fifty
five, just saying)
So all the children in school are involved in the play from
the very youngest 2 year olds up to the eldest at 13 we have all worked really
hard together to make this production a success.
So I wanted to give the children a chance to put some input
into their costumes. So children were able to look through their clothes (or
families clothes) and pick out items that would be suitable for their
character.
One by one the children came to me with their costumes picked out,
then came the day when the adorable 7 year old Charity came to me (very pleased
with herself that she had brought in her costume, picked out all by herself she
told me)
Just thought you should all know the character that Charity is playing is a shepherd on the way to the birth of Jesus.
With that in mind I was expecting brown rags, a rake and something resembling somewhat of a Shepherd. So you can imagine how I was rather taken aback when she pulled out her Disney’s Little Mermaid costume. (Literally using all my self-control not to burst out laughing)
As she was so pleased with herself for bringing it in, I allowed her to wear it during the play.

In addition to this the same darling little lady came to me the day after looking rather pleased with herself informing me that she has 2 goats. I smiled as I thought toy goats would be good to use in the stable set. It was only after a little more conversation that I realised that these were not toy goats that she was talking about, but real live goats. (Yes real live mitten munching spitting goats) Lost for words I just told her I’d get back to her (which opps I never did)
The children did tremendously well, they all remembered
their lines, spoke with enthusiasm and the audience loved it. I felt so proud
looking up at them all I could have cried.
In true African style the power was out, (on both days of the performance)
so the keyboard was out of order so accapella it was, and it was fantastic. To
end it all in true school style, our little kindergrarder that was playing Mary
asked to go to the bathroom during the stable scene, (all I could think was I’m
so pleased she asked and there was no little accidents)
The last day of school was such fun (tiring, but fun) we celebrated after the play with a Christmas party, a Christmas party with no Christmas songs (not enough internet to download all the classics) so S Club 7 it was however I think it was just myself enjoying it.
A little gift for each of my children.
(so amazed at how excited they got)
