On Wednesday 14th December Newminster and Chantry students put on ‘CHRISTMAS Spell Christmas’ at St James Church in Morpeth.

The pupils performed this funny Christmas play which tells the tale of a time-travelling TV News station, who report on the nativity story with hilarious results. Cue the wackiest ever nativity play including Mary and Joseph in the ‘Nazareth to Bethlehem Donkey Derby’, 3 crazy Kings doing magic tricks and ‘3 Tenor Shepherds’ who are taking part in ‘Bethlehem’s Got Talent’!

The choir, chamber choir and soloists performed the songs to accompany the wonderful acting. With sound provided by students, tickets designed by Newminster’s Hope Hedley, Year 6, posters designed by Newmisnter’s Matlida Willis, Year 6 and mince pies made by Chantry pupils this was a huge school effort. Well done to all of the pupils and staff who were involved.
