WELL DONE: A grade two girl (right) applauds her teachers' performance.

Independence City Primary, in celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, hosted their annual Carol Service at the Holy Spirit Church in Portmore, recently.

The function, hosted by grade five teacher, Mr. Henry, was well attended by students, teachers and parents.

Grade one was the first to set the place alive with their acoustic poem about Christmas, with placards held above their heads spelling the word C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S. They returned and had the audience literally eating out of their hands singing a December favourite 'All I want for, Christmas (Is my two front teeth)' with the lead singer having his two front teeth missing.

Grade three's contribution to the event was another favourite Go tell it on the Mountain,while, Grade Four did Magnificat. The function took a dramatic twist much to the delight of the children as the teachers came up to the pulpit area and sang a Christmas Carol, Ms. Sawyers, a grade two teacher at the school, performed an exhortation of Christ. Grade six sang while grade five did a poem Everyday is Christmas.

The event was blessed by the school's choir singing 'The wise may bring their learning'. In between performances students read Bible verses.

Near the close the audience got a treat when the award winning Independence City Primary Dance troupe came on stage to do their 'Christmas Dance'.

The function climaxed with the singing of the Christmas carol Joy to the World.
