Dear Parents,
Congratulations to Class 3 and 4 for an excellent School Production
The performance of ‘Wind in the Willows’ was outstanding – well done to all the children for excellent singing, drama and performing. Class 3 were a great Choir and had worked very hard to learn all the songs. Class 4 performed so well as a team with Year 6 children taking the lead parts brilliantly. We enjoyed two very memorable evenings in the village hall. Thank you to everyone who came to support the children, to Friends of the School for refreshments and to all our staff and parents for their encouragement.
