Yesterday was our long awaited performance at the Grand Theatre. A huge well done to all of Year 5 , you were amazing, on and off stage, and the comments we received about your performance were so positive and thoroughly deserved! 👏🏻👏🏻⭐️ I could not have been prouder of the children, they were absolutely fantastic and demonstrated just how far they have come with their resilience! A big thank you to all the parents, grandparents and other family members who came to support the children, it made their day to be able to perform to you!
A big thank you to the Grand Theatre, Natalie, Helen and the rest of the team who have worked alongside the children for the last two years - we’ve enjoyed being part of this project! 😊
On Wednesday the children spent the afternoon in Year 6 with Mrs Murphy, who will be teaching them in Year 6 next year. The children had a great afternoon getting to know Mrs Murphy and equally Mrs Murphy enjoyed getting to know them. Well done Year 5!
