of all the children who took part in South Cumbria Music Festival yesterday. Everyone has worked so hard over the last few weeks. It has required dedication and courage to learn the words (there were a lot!) and to get up on stage. The children had to make a massive effort to remember all the instructions they had been given especially as we had never managed to rehearse with the full choir. We were delighted by the adjudicator’s comments to each child and the whole group.

Special mention to Ame in Year 6 for 1st Place in the Prepared Reading and Poetry Own Choice classes, to Daisy in Year 5 for 3rd Place in the Prepared Reading class, to Felix and Meisha in Year 4 for 1st and 2nd place in the Poetry Own Choice class and finally to Jack and Jack in Year 3 for 1st and 2nd Place in the poetry Own Choice class.

We were very proud to hear that the Speaking Choir was awarded the Kimberley-Clark Bursary for Choral Speaking.

Many thanks to parents and carers who spent hours perfecting the performances.
