Lewes Old Grammar School pupils performed their nativity play last week which included sleepy squirrels, rock star badgers, and a hedgehog who refused to hibernate.

Headmistress Carrie Whyte said: “The children have been working really hard to put on this gorgeous production of A Winter’s Tale and you can tell!

“I’d also like to thank the teaching staff who have managed to rehearse with the children, conjure up wonderful costumes, and pull off a terrific show.”

Wildlife themed costumes graced the stage as the young performers impressed parents and friends by remembering all of their lines.

Musical numbers included songs about winter in the forest, hibernation, and the yuletide season.
