Earlier, this week, West Midlands’ Children’s Theatre Company visited our school to perform, Sigurd and the Dragon. It was an amazing show and we marveled at the fact that 3 actors could play so many different roles in the same performance. Some of our pupils got to act in the show too and we hope…

The junior children told the nativity story with a few extra characters from space to add to the drama while the seniors told the story of The Pied Piper.

Last week, we were thrilled to host a book fair in our school. On Monday, the books arrived in rather cool moveable trolleys and by lunchtime, we were ready for a browse. There were books of many different genres so it took a while to get around on them all especially when we were tempted…
