During the afternoon, the children saw all the professional performers rehearsing their parts and it was a fantastic opportunity for them to see a range of musical skills in action and realise the importance of practising their musical instruments until you can’t get it wrong. 

In the evening, they performed to an audience which included family members. All the children sang and danced their hearts out, making it an amazing and unforgettable experience to be part of.

Watch our video for highlights  

Each class took part in a workshop, learning how to put each other into the recovery position and what to do in the case of an emergency.

We were curious to explore the inside of an ambulance and learn about the crucial equipment on board and how it may be used.

The children asked lots of important questions and have acquired skills they may need to use in the future.

This term, we marked the very first National Illustration Day by exploring the wonders created by children’s illustrators. We visited the library to delve into our books and find our favourite illustrations to then recreate.

The children talked about their favourite illustrators and what they liked about their chosen illustration.

We now have a beautiful Stanton Illustrators display adorning our library corridor.
