They sang so beautifully, danced gracefully and acted brilliantly but above all they had an absolute ball! You could see from their faces that they loved performing together and there were individuals that absolutely shone like the stars we know they are! A very special THANKYOU to all of the staff who were busy choreographing, prop making and practicing these past few weeks and for giving the children such a special memory! Of course – I cannot fail to mention our ‘Director Extraordinaire!’ Miss Prentice who not only did an amazing job but also kept the energy and enthusiasm going for them all which was a joy to see!

• Thursday 14 November 2024 Class 2 Acorns: What was it like to be a WW II Evacuee? We discovered an old suitcase full of historical sources. We became historians and worked out that these were items that belonged to children in 1939. These children were being evacuated from our capital city of London and sent to the countryside to be safe. We are so eager to explore historical sources - including a video interview with a WWII evacuee - to learn more and to empathise with those whose lives have been impacted in this way.
