Yesterday at St Joseph’s we were treated to two fantastic performances of their wonderful Christmas play by our Pre-Prep children. This half term, our children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 have been working hard on their production of the ‘The Bossy King,’ and they didn’t disappoint when it came to the main events.

In the morning they performed to an excited audience of Key Stage 2 children and visiting preschool children specially invited from local nurseries, and in the afternoon the hall was packed with parents, grandparents, friends and family. The children really showed their excellent drama and singing skills, and the hard work their teachers and teaching assistants have put in really paid off.

Mr Henry Matthews, Head of Juniors, said “the children of Pre-Prep should be incredibly proud of themselves, all showing great enthusiasm, confidence and enjoyment on the stage which made for a superb event. A special congratulations must go to our Year 2 pupils who took on the lead roles of Narrators, The Three Kings, Shepherds, The Head Angel and of course the Bossy King himself played by Reuben. Well done to everyone involved and thank you for beginning the Christmas festivities at St Joseph’s with such a wonderful story.”

It was wonderful to see the children making the most of the many opportunities they have at school, and it was clear to everyone in the audience that with such talented children in the Pre-Prep, the future of the performing arts at St Joseph’s are certainly in very safe hands.
