The Nutcracker's Tale: Hope and Joy Under the Christmas Tree
The Christmas Tree Festival at St Wulfram’s Church, Grantham, is a cherished annual event that brings together the community to celebrate the awe and wonder of Christmas. The church is transformed into a magical space filled with beautifully decorated Christmas trees, each one uniquely decorated by local schools, businesses, and community groups. This special tradition is a wonderful opportunity to share joy, creativity, and the spirit of Christmas with the wider Grantham community.
This year, our school participated with a theme based on the classic tale of The Nutcracker as part of the Let’s Create After School Art Club and the National Opera House Primary School project. The children created 'take care' artwork inspired by the story’s magical characters and scenes, showcasing their talents and bringing the festive theme to life. The story of The Nutcracker reminded the children of the key Christian values—hope, love, friendship, and courage—which resonate deeply during the Christmas season.
What a lovely way to start our school's preparations for Christmas!
