THEATRICAL Spa youngsters took centre stage this week when they performed their Christmas pantomime for family and friends.

Children from Cutnall Green First School in School Road performed Red Riding Hood -The Sequel on Monday and Tuesday this week and are set to entertain the crowds again tonight.

The pantomime is based on the well-known fairytale but incorporates other well-known nursery rhymes.

School secretary Julie Woodhouse deemed the show a roaring success.

She added: "The children have been having a whale of a time and are really enjoying getting into the Christmas spirit. It is also nice to do something a little different from a nativity play."
