Children have performed a nativity play with a twist.
Up to 60 Year 1 pupils at Roding Primary School in Woodford Green performed the traditional Christmas story in the style of a musical.
The musical, written by Mary Green and Julie Stanley, tells the story of how every year Gabriel and the angels celebrate the birth of Jesus by inviting children from across the globe to visit the manger in Bethlehem.
Travelling from as far afield as China, Malawi, Poland and Australia, each group perform by the stable and tell tales of the their special Christmas customs, while singing songs and presenting gifts.
Next Thursday, children from Roding Nursery will be performing two seperate nativity plays.
