The Big Little Nativity at Blisland Primary
Posted: 12/12/25
Adrian Massey
Blisland Primary was filled with festive cheer recently as pupils took to the stage for this year's nativity performance. Families and friends were treated to a truly magical performance.
The event began with a heartwarming film, featuring clips of the children sharing their favourite parts of Christmas. Their smiles and thoughtful answers set the perfect tone for what was to come.
The Big Little Nativity, was packed with humour, catchy songs, and plenty of festive spirit. The children's acting was outstanding, bringing the story to life in a way that had the audience laughing and clapping along. One of the highlights was the appearance of a talking donkey, which added a fun twist to the traditional tale. And, of course, we can't forget Mr Smith's memorable cameo as a Christmas tree - a moment that had everyone smiling!
After the nativity, the children showcased their musical talents by performing Jingle Bells using hand bells. It was a beautiful way to round off the evening and demonstrated just how much effort and practice had gone into every part of the performance. The evening concluded with a raffle, which was a huge success. Thanks to the generosity of our community, Blisland Primary raised an incredible 700 pounds! This will go a long way in supporting future school activities and resources.
A massive thank you goes to all the staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event possible. From rehearsals to costumes, music, and organisation, your dedication ensured that the children could shine on stage and create memories that will last a lifetime. From everyone at Blisland Primary we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Thank you for sending your children in wearing Christmas Jumpers yesterday. School is feeling very Christmassy and so far the performances by Nursery, Penhallow Class and then Landaviddy Class have been amazing. We can't wait for Talland and Chaipel Classes' joint performances on Monday, the Gift Shop and Christmas Lunch on Wednesday and our Annual Christmas Art Day on Thursday.
Christmas Gift Shop
Reminder that on Wednesday 17th December, during the school morning, Santa's Workshop will be opening its doors for the children to choose a special gift or two for someone they love. Each gift will cost £2 (maximum of 2 gifts per child). Santa's helpful elves (thank you FOPS) will be on hand to wrap the presents, ready to bring home at the end of the day, perfect to pop under your Christmas tree!
A Busy Week for our Planet Protectors
This week, our Planet Protectors helped us check how much electricity we use as part of our school's climate action plan. We now have a fantastic team of pupils who remind staff to switch off any equipment that isn't needed, such as screens and lights. They already collect paper for recycling at the end of each day, and every Monday they help keep our school looking lovely by checking the grounds for litter. Well done, Planet Protectors!
Fundraising
It was lovely to see so many of you at the Christmas Fayre last week which raised over £630 for school. On Wednesday evening, our Christmas Wreath making event held at the Village Hall raised an amazing £600. Huge thanks to our FOPS team who made both events happen. With funds raised this year we have just bought a class set of styluses for IPads which support our children in their learning, and trikes for Penhallow Class.
Poppy Appeal
Year 6 collected £86.60 for the Royal British Legion's Poppy Appeal this year; thank you for your generous donations.
