Recorded today following a 15 minute rehearsal.
Performed by Mackenzie, Logan, James, Johnny and Gabe. On a beautiful day that I dream about In a world I would love to see Is a beautiful place where the sun comes out And it shines in the sky for me On this beautiful winter's morning If my wish could come true somehow Then the beautiful day that I dream about Would be here and now I really try - but time flies by
So I close my eyes - and I ask why Why should I try? - I think I know why If I try a little harder it will all become clear If I try a little harder it removes all the fear Failure isn't easy but sometimes we have to lose You will learn some vital skills that you will always use If I try a little harder it will all become clear If I try a little harder it removes all the fear When I get it wrong, I smile and sing this song To remind myself to never give up Details about Autumn Term music clubs can now be viewed here.
I hope you all had a lovely summer holiday.
Good luck to last year's Year 6 children as they venture on to high school and welcome to our new Year 3 children. I very much look forward to getting to know you and I can't wait to see and hear how talented and fun-loving you are! The first day of the new school year is Wednesday 4th September. From Miss Rusbatch The Rwandan High Commissioner and his family were "moved to tears by the enchanting performance".To view more photos and read reviews of the show, visit the
