TOLD you I'd get it!

Consider Yourself...........Entertained
Sitting in the office or on walkabout through school this morning I was treated to some wonderful singing (from soloists and chorus) as Mr Lee, our Music Teacher, ran through some of the songs in our forthcoming production of Oliver. The children sound better every week - looking forward to the…
