Ouseburn Farm Nativity

Posted on December 22, 2017 by Mrs K. McWeeny • 0 Comments

On a cold and rainy morning we dressed up in our Nativity costumes over our coats and went down to Ouseburn Farm to perform ‘Come to the Manger’ in the farmyard amidst the pigs, roosters and cows!

Despite the rain and the distractions of the animals, the children were magnificent and the farmyard setting brought the performance to life. Well done children and well done families for coming and supporting the children on such a cold morning!

We will miss you, Mrs Toward x
