NATIVITY CONCERT

Ishie, nearly 4 years old, and Alastair, nearly 3 years old attend a local playgroup whose Nativity concert was on this week. The committee of mums and the play leaders are a very active and imaginative group. It takes a lot of work to mount this type of production.

It also seems that playgroups these days have to work to some guide lines. For example, there had to be something in the concert that was chosen by the children. So they made it the selection of songs.


Here is a Shepherd in a white shirt who sat for a very long time most patiently. I was very impressed as it was a bit on the long side for little people.

Ishie was an Angel in the back row, with the tinsel on her halo'd head. She was a bit bemused by the whole thing! Still it is quite something to be up on a stage looking out and not able to see a familiar person in the sea of faces out there!

Whatever the little ones do it is always a joy! They even have a mum (French speaking) who teaches them French nursery tunes with actions.

No Christmas production can be complete without a Christmas tree - on the side of the stage. It made the hall very pleasant as we milled about chatting and enjoying our coffee and mince pies.
