SCHOOLS across Hampshire are attempting to keep the Christmas spirit alive by performing virtual Christmas productions, videos and songs.

Stroud School in Romsey even live streamed nativities to families.

The children had been rehearsing very hard for their Christmas performance, and whilst they were very disappointed not to be able to perform to their families, were very excited to act in front of the cameras.

The Early Years children gave a wonderful performance entitled ‘A little bird told me’, whilst Key Stage 1 opted for telling the traditional story.

An external company, schoolvideo.co.uk, filmed the two events, which are also available on DVDs for families to buy to give to grandparents and other family members for Christmas.

Pupils have also decorated trees, hung wreaths and enjoyed parties.
