Class 1 have had an exciting two weeks learning about the Chinese new year.  This is the year of the Goat. The class have enjoyed making hats, dragon puppets and have even made Chow Mein. They have had dragons in the classrooms and have had a dancing dragon in the hall.    
We would like to thank Margaret Keeler for an interesting assembly on February 11th.
The school choir has been busy rehearsing for a performance of  ‘Silver Trumpet’ which will be performed as part of a concert at St Andrews Hall on 1st April. The  concert will involve about 25 schools in the area. At the regional rehearsal at Drayton Middle School, the choir was praised for their performance. Well done everyone.
Class 4 are getting very excited about their drama. They have just started rehearsals for a production of Alice in Wonderland. Auditions have finished and parts have just been given. We are sure the production will be spectacular. 
The whole school took part in a non-uniform day, Thursday 13th February  to help raise funds for the school. A good day was had by all.

Friday 14th February class 4 had an India day. The Indian dance and food tasting went down especially well. Many thanks to Liz Byrne who helped with the wonderful food.
