Weekly Round up: Autumn Term Week 11

Thank you to Alfred, who is in Upper Sixth Form at King’s Senior School, for a superb performance this morning.  The children loved listening to him play Oranges in Bloom, a folk tune played on a concertina.  They were equally engrossed by his explanation of how the instrument worked!  It was wonderful to hear their “ooo’s and ahh’s” as he spoke to them.  Thank you, Alfred, for a fabulous start to our assembly.
