Rock Band Performance

Year 6 performed their Rock Bands to parents earlier this week. Thank you to Mrs Attwood for this lovely e-mail I received yesterday:

As a parent who watched the Rock Band performance, I would like to say what a FANTASTIC job they did and thank you for sharing it and inviting us to watch. Both classes worked really hard in the 9 weeks they had to put on a show like that and also well done to all the staff behind the scenes! I thought Neil and Johnny were "really switched on" to the children and I know Evie has really, really enjoyed her time with them.

Thank you for giving my child this experience and I know she will remember it for a long time.
