A SCHOOL staged its Nativity in a real barn after being forced to rethink the traditional presentation due to Covid-19 restrictions. Kildwick CE Primary pupils were surrounded by real-life sheep as they performed on a farm belonging to a pupil’s family. The production, involving 60 reception and key stage one children, was filmed by a professional crew so it could be streamed online to families before Christmas. One of the camera operators was lifted into the air on a cherry picker to capture footage of the youngsters as they enacted the story of Jesus in the stable. There was enough space in the barn for each class to be socially distanced as they sang songs between the traditional scenes of angels, shepherds and kings visiting the newborn babe.
