Santa’s on Strike

Posted by Máistir Ó Beirn On January - 18 - 2023

It’s Christmas Eve and Santa’s in a mood!  He’s seen too many episodes of Supernanny and thinks children don’t deserve presents anymore, so he goes on strike!

As Mrs. Claus and the elves show him snapshots of family life, will he realise that Christmas is still a time of giving, caring and sharing? You bet he will, and so will you in this celebration of all that is good about Christmas… and about children!

Video of our Middle Room Christmas Play, 2019

Posted by Ms. Thomas On December - 19 - 2019

Stable Manners is a musical packed with humour and great songs. It tells the traditional nativity story from the point of view of the animals in the stable.  Neddy, the horse, has sadly passed away and the animals in the stable are fighting over getting his stall for themselves.

The two angels, Luke and Gabriel, are planning the arrival of baby Jesus and become very unsure about the location with all the fighting. The shepherds and wise men are led by two stars to the wonderful sight in the stable.

The animals see sense after Jesus is born and apologise. They become friends again and decide to celebrate the Christmas spirit. The children performed so well and we were all very proud of them on Friday night. I hope they enjoy looking back on their great performance in the video below.

Video: Middle Room ‘Sleepy Stargazer’

Posted by Ms. Donnellan On January - 18 - 2018

Philip yawns all day long!  Why?  Because he can’t resist gazing at the stars all night!  The other children complain that his sleepiness ruins their games. But one night when Philip is busy stargazing he spots a moving star, and he can’t resist following it.  While everyone else is asleep, Philip is busy meeting shepherds, sheep, angels and wise men – and then a baby king! It was one exciting adventure.
