ALIENS joined in the Christmas Nativity at Blackpool C of E Primary School this year.

The story was about an alien space ship landing on Earth at Blackpool School. The aliens then watch the Nativity and learn about the first Christmas.

Ninety pupils in Years 1 and 2 took part in ‘Christmas with the Aliens’. They performed the play twice in front of packed audiences of parents and grandparents.

Unit leader Abi Marshall said: ‘All the children worked so hard and performed brilliantly.

‘They looked fantastic in their costumes and we were very proud of them.’

Meanwhile, more than 90 Year 5 and 6 pupils entertained an audience with their Christmas show. They raised the roof with their performance of Will Father Christmas Get Shot Down. The tale of friendship during the Blitz follows Father Christmas as he tries to make it through to deliver the presents.

Head of teaching and learning Tania Cox said: ‘The audience were entertained with a delightful evening of humour and song.

‘What a talented group of young people. 

‘I am very proud of all ninety children for their participation in performing and producing a spectacular show.
