Carstairs Primary and Victoria Park festivities 2013

Team effort...Jesus' Christmas Party boasted a host of colourful characters at Victoria Park School in Carluke (Pic Andrew Wilson)

Carstairs Primary’s P4-7 pupils’ performance of the panto-style musical Cinderella and Rockerfella was a roaring success. The children’s superb singing almost raised the roof off the new school building and their comic acting was perfection.

Also having a fabulous time were the youngsters at Victoria Park who performed in Jesus’ Christmas Party.

The children told the story of the birth of Jesus from the point of view of the innkeeper, played by Jamie Cunningham.

Victoria Park head teacher Anne Fisher said: “We had Mary and Joseph, wise men, shepherds, lambs and even camels. The whole school took part and all the children had a great time.”

Gazette photographer Lindsay Addison was on hand to capture the fun at Carstairs Primary and freelance photographer Andrew Wilson was entertained by pupils at Victoria Park.
