FERNHURST Primary School took a trip to Wonderland to celebrate Christmas by staging ‘Alice The Musical’, a retelling of the traditional tale by Lewis Carroll.

All the students in years three to six took part in the play and after just two weeks of rehearsals and practice, the children performed three sell-out shows over three days. School administrator Fiona Atkinson said: “They did an absolutely fantastic job, there are some real budding actors and actresses amongst them.”

On the last day of term, the school turned out in festive sweaters in support of Save The Children’s Christmas Jumper Day and raised more than £150 for charity.
