Music clubs and lunchtime rehearsals for Battle of the Bands begin this week. If you missed the sign-up deadline for Mega Choir or Music Jam, you will have the option to sign-up your child again after the Easter holidays.
The children in 5H performed a 40-minute Ancient Greek extravaganza today, having mostly written the script themselves. Their performance finished with their own version of the 12 Days of Christmas using re-written lyrics to reference the 12 Labour of Hercules. Well done to everyone involved in all three shows, especially Mr Hudson. Lunchtime Rehearsal Slots
