Choir at Beechwood Court On Wednesday morning a group of children and staff went to Beechwood Court to sing to the residents. The children sang beautifully some of the songs from the Christmas Performances and some traditional carols. During the refreshments afterwards the children talked to the residents who were all very impressed with our children and praised them for their excellent singing and behaviour. They were delighted by how much the children enjoyed singing all the songs.
