Christmas Show
Reception Christmas Performance 2020
This year we can't do our Christmas performance as we usually would so we are going to do it slightly differently! This year it will be a recorded performance and the children will be filmed singing songs. The video will then be made available to families.
If you do not wish for your child to be filmed in the performance please contact your child's class teacher. Please be aware that if you do not want your child to be filmed they will not have a part in the performance.
Children have been learning Christmas songs at school in preparation for our show and should know which songs they are singing. To help the children do their best, we have provided the song lyrics below so that they can practice at home.
If your child can't remember which song they are singing, have a look under the song titles and you should see your child's first name under one. All children are singing the 12 Days of Christmas.
You do not need to worry about costumes etc. as we will be filming outside so the children will have coats on. You could however, send your child in a Christmas jumper, (this could be seen if the child leaves their coat unzipped) a fun hat and scarf or with tinsel in their hair. The show will be during the week beginning 7th of December and we will give a specific day as soon as possible.
Have fun practising your child's songs and we look forward to showing you our Christmas performance!
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Abigail, Oliver, Ayda, Olivia, Evie-Mae, Valentine, Harper
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall
The most famous reindeer of all?
Had a very shiny nose
And if you ever saw it
You would even say it glows
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
Join in any reindeer games
Santa came to say
"Rudolph, with your nose so bright
Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
As they shouted out with glee
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
You'll go down in history"
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
Jack, Saliha, Finn, Alfie, Junia, Sophia, Isabella
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He's making a list,
He's checking it twice,
He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
Oh, you better watch out!
You better not cry
You better not pout, I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring us some figgy pudding
Now bring some out here
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year
For we all like our figgy pudding
For we all like our figgy pudding
For we all like our figgy pudding
With all this good cheer
Good tidings we bring to you and your kin
We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year

Jingle Bells
Kyle, Freddie, Rio, Georgia, Lawrence, Joshua, Ruby, Harry
Dashing through the snow
On a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob tail ring,
making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one horse open sleigh

A-choo, a-choo, a-choo!
