Ending half term on a high.

The first half of term has flown by and there has been plenty to celebrate.

We started this week’s bumper Celebration Assembly with not one but two musical performances. First up we had Oscar on the trumpet. Oscar treated us to a rousing performance – helping our Year 2 teachers to stay awake. Next up was Charlotte F on the violin. Charlotte enchanted the audience with her confident performance.
