What The Donkey Saw

We were delighted to welcome Church v123 to the Mead farm this evening for the 'What The Donkey saw' nativity.

As guests from both schools and the local community arrived, they were given a treasure pouch and instructions. As they made their way around the trail, they had to collect magical items that would be used for a craft activity.

In total there were six items, one from each of the six main characters from the Christmas story.

I had to go to Mary's family home where she would have registered. I know that she used a donkey to get there so it was great to see Mr Darcy.

While the families made their way round to see the different characters, they were given a stirring musical accompaniment by the Salvation Army brass band. The sound of traditional Christmas carols rang out across the school making it a very special evening.

Thank you to Rev Rich and Mr Borrell who helped to organise the evening.

It was a fantastic way to retell the story - to have a real donkey and the animals from the stables was just incredible
