Scary Bear Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 My eldest daughter was Mary when she was at the Nursery. Hit the motherload. She was good too, remembered all her words. Next year she was an angel or a mouse or something. What a fall from grace. Was shite in comparison.The next year was the turn of my younger daughter who was also at Nursery. For this one they invited the parents into the games hall and sat them around the perimeter of the hall. Then the Nursery teachers led the kids in and tried to get them to perform. It had a gladiatorial feel to it. Think dog fights. Anyway, my daughter just went red, and some of the kids cried.This year they let the class rehearse in the games hall for 20 minutes while the parents had a cup of lukewarm tea/coffee and a mince pie in the 30 degree heat of a Nursery environment. Then they led us through to a games hall, with seating set up in a cinema style. This year all the kids remembered their moves and all the words (well most of them) to that Sunshine in My Pocket song and to five Christmas songs. It was good.Tonight it's eldest daughter's turn again. She's a narrator.When the wee guy starts Nursery I'll have three of these a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Ours has a habit of getting sick around the time of these things, so we've missed the last two in a row. Not sure how he manages it, but fair play to him. Wish I'd thought of it when I was his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heart of Northern Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Haha fair point the cuppa hit. Didn't think it was that bad.. Common saying in our working class Edinburgh house . Maybe an east coast thing. Points still stand about nativity though. They are mostly crap and all parents are ready to bolt as soon as theirs has done their bit. Just my boy is in P7 so had to sit through whole thing. Torture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallo_Madrid Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 My boy had his first one last night, had a speaking part. He spoke well and confidently, stood with his hands in his pockets though. Which was made far worse by the fact he somehow managed to have his trousers on back to front. Some boy.

The Master Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 When I was at primary school my head teacher was one of these "art is so much more important than science" types, which meant that as soon as we got back after the summer holidays, we were rehearsing the nativity play, and as soon as we got back after Christmas, we were rehearsing an Easter play. Every year there would be a different musical take on each story. One that stick in my mind was the nativity being told from the perspective of the wise men - titled "Sheikh, Rattle and Roll". You can guess what the music was themed around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
