Children from a London Colney school have got into the Christmas spirit by performing their own nativity plays.

St Bernadette Primary School organised two nativity plays and carol singing concerts last week to raise money for the Philippines Appeal and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Lisa Barton, headteacher at the Walsingham Way school, said: "They went very well.

"The very young children were very happy to do it all and show us what they can do when they were given the opportunity."
