We have spent the majority of our afternoon lessons rehearsing for our Christmas performance next week. The children are becoming more confident with their lines and we are so impressed with their confidence speaking on the stage. We can't wait to share the show with everyone next week!

We have begun rehearsing our lines for the Christmas performance. If your child has a script, please support them to learn and practise their lines at home. Many thanks!
