The children have had a very busy week with lots of dress rehearsals and the main performance of ‘Cinders’. The children have all enjoyed participating in the Pantomime from the very first auditions to the main performance. The children really have grown in confidence and we have been very impressed with their improvisation during the performances. Each time the Panto sounded different and having a live audience really did help the children. Thank you to the parents, carers and relatives that attended any of our performances throughout the week!

Next week we are going to be winding down for the Christmas holidays by doing lots of Christmas themed activities.
