My all time Christmas favourite!

We're walking in the air.
We're floating in the moonlit sky
The people far below are sleeping as we fly

I'm holding very tight
I'm riding in the midnight blue
I'm finding I can fly so high above with you

Far across the world
The villages go by like dreams
The rivers and the hills, the forests and the streams

Children gaze open mouthed
Taken by surprise
Nobody down below believes their eyes

We're surfing in the air
We're swimming in the frozen sky
We're drifting over icy mountains floating by

Suddenly swooping low
On an ocean deep
Rousing up a mighty monster from his sleep

And walking in the air
We're dancing in the midnight sky
And everyone who sees us greets us as we fly

We're walking in the air
We're walking in the air



When i was teaching in Nottingham our school was invited to take part in the regional Springboard Drama Festival.

I produced my own version of this classic story.
My class performed in Nottingham Playhouse.
It was an absolutely wonderful experience and one of the highlights of my teaching career.

Our school, Huntingdon Juniors was the only state school to be involved. The other schools taking part where independent, private schools.

Huntingdon Junior School won the day!
Fantastic!

The children will now be in their 30's.

I will be singing along with this as no doubt it will be on the TV over the Christmas period.
