Nativity: Bridgewater School students get into Christmas spirit with performances for families

Children from Bridgewater School and its nursery have been getting their families into the festive mood with nativity-themed performances this month.

On Thursday, December 9, the nursery class retold the nativity story through Christmas songs in the Berkhamsted school’s amphitheatre in the woods.

Helen Holmes-Higgin, Bridgewater School’s office manager, said: “They worked really hard learning their songs and performed brilliantly, also creating their own story map, so that they could retell the nativity story in their own words.”

She added: "It was a truly magical experience for the children and their families.”

Last Thursday (December 15), year two classes, Swift and Swallow, put on a performance of 'Superstar' for their families, where the traditional nativity characters were guided to Bethlehem by a celestial choir.

Helen said: “It was almost as if the West End had come to Bridgewater.”
