On Friday 5th December the staff and pupils of Kings Copse Oasis joined the Special Schools Christmas Celebration at Winchester Cathedral. This is an annual event organised by Hampshire Music Service.
The Cathedral was a throng of activity when we arrived with children, carers, parents and local dignitaries milling around preparing for the concert.
Each of our pupils had a role in retelling the Christmas story; from angels,
and shepherds,
Inn keepers and Wise men,
School Banner bearers,
Each part of the Christmas story had a multi-sensory element which the children could join in with.
Then a special performance of a medley of Christmas songs by one of our Year 6 pupils on the piano, accompanied by Mrs Keene.
Then later some ribbon twirling!
It was a chilly day out, but we were warmed by the enthusiasm of all of the children at the Service and especially proud of our own pupils, waving the banner for Kings Copse and the Oasis!
As a bonus, one of our pupil's grandmothers had come to the cathedral and she brought her new guide dog, Nick; who thoroughly enjoyed meeting lots of new little people, who in turn thoroughly enjoyed meeting him!
Thank you to Hampshire Music Service for a brilliant Celebration!
Lovely photos and special memories.
