KS2 Christmas play -original and adaptable
**‘Just a school n
Nativity’ **- an original KS2 Christmas Play (written by me!)
This play is 'loosely based on a familiar story, that sees a very reluctant teacher tasked with writing this year’s KS2 play. It includes lots of familiar songs, all with a bit of humour!
I started writing my own plays as those on offer were pretty expensive and I ended up adapting them to accommdate the whole of our junior children - yes, we are quite a small primary school, so this play can be done as a whole class. I hope you enjoy it and as with my other plays, it’s inclusive, flexible &fun!
