Singing in the Community
|
|
The Wideopen community have been throughly serenaded this week with carols and Christmas songs to spread a little bit of Christmas sparkle. Each class had a carol singing afternoon or morning in the grounds of our local care homes and next to the Co-op. The children in Year 4 had an extra special tret as Mr Coverdale accompanied them on his guitar.
|
We have had lots of messges of thanks and many members of the public have commented on the beautiful singing and the exemplary behaviour and the polite way in whcih the children conducted themselves and represented the school.

This week the children have been treated to a very special virtual viewing of The Emperor's New Clothes by the Northern Stage- afterall what's Christmas without a panto? For some of our younger children this was the irst time they had seen a panto- let's hope we can get them to the real thing next year!

Together at Christmas

This afternoon we came together as a school to have an afternoon of carols and Christmas songs on the yard. You won't believe who came? He must have heard our fantastic singing!

|
An enormous thank you to Mr Newbould, who I understand is a big friend of Santa and arranged for his visit. Thank you too to the GFPTA for providing selecion boxes for all the children.
