Bedtime bible stories turn to magic in Mbombela

Kabouterland Nursery School’s little ones took to the stage to entertain their parents.

The children of Kabouterland Nursery School delivered a goosebump experience at their annual concert, bringing imagination and faith together with their heartwarming production of Bedtime Bible Stories.

According to the school’s management, the production centred on two characters, Jabu and Sarah, who, while listening to their mother read their bedtime stories, journeyed into a world of biblical dreams.

While the school respects all religions, Kabouterland prides itself on the Christian values that are an important cornerstone of its education.

This ethos was evident throughout the performance, which beautifully merged faith with the wonder of childhood.

The annual concert is a major event and these alternate to include contemporary themes and Christian celebrations to encourage creativity and faith.

A core component of Kabouterland’s curriculum is fantasy play, used to engage young, developing minds.

Teachers made an extra effort to use the rehearsal process to encourage fantasy play and boost the children’s imaginative engagement with these ancient stories.

The highlight of the night was the grand finale, which was especially moving, as all the school’s learners – from the two-year-olds (some still in nappies) to the six-year-olds – came together on stage.
