Singing at the Concourse On Thursday 27th March Miss McCormick, Miss Berry and Mrs Howarth took some children to sing a selection of songs at the Concourse to promote our school's fantastic talent! We were a big hit with the shoppers and almost made one of them cry as she enjoyed our singing that much. The children drew in the crowd and even those working in the shops nearby were popping out to hear them sing. Well done children you were brilliant. New Infant Library
Foundations Stage News!! Welcome home Roger!! Following a four week trial to discover who kidnapped Roger rabbit, the Caterpillars finally found their guilty suspect – Mrs Gray! During the four week trial, Caterpillars interviewed 7 suspects and very carefully used evidence to solve the crime. Thankfully, Mrs Gray did inform us that she only took Roger because she loves rabbits so much, and that she played with him everyday. To celebrate his home coming Caterpillars were treated to special rabbit cakes and a big hug from Roger. Well done Caterpillars for being super detectives and solving the case. Case closed!
