A very grumpy sheep brought a big smile to the faces of parents at Hardwicke School this week.

Key Stage 1 pupils put on a performance of The Grumpy Sheep alongside the Reception children’s version of The Smallest Christmas Tree as part of the school’s Christmas presentations.

Every infant pupil had a part to play, and were watched by a packed hall of delighted family members and friends.

Mum Jane Sims told Quedgeley People: “This was a really delightful show. For me, the school show always marks the beginning of the Christmas festivities.”

A dad, who did not wish to be named, added: “It brought a real lump to my throat. I’m sure I wasn’t the only parent there with a tear in their eye!”
