FESTIVE celebrations were out of this world at Cams Lane Primary School in Radcliffe.

For the youngsters staged a modern Christmas story, A Cosmic Carol or Star Trek Meets Star Wars.

But tradition was also maintained when the younger children staged a Nativity play.

And pictured bringing the real Christmas story to life are Mia Margets (5) as Mary; Nicole Edgar (4) as the angel and Jack Quinn (4) as Joseph.

The cosmic Christmas story started in Star Trek World and the crew of Star Wars came aboard shouting that Mick Claus, the futuristic version of Father Christmas, had been kidnapped. And it was up to them to save the day!

Mrs Kath Cooper, who oversaw the production, said: "The play was by Niall Shaw, and it was the most enjoyable one I have ever staged.

"The play was full of comedy one-liners which the children delivered perfectly and made the parents laugh."
