Young Voices

Children in Class 3 have taken part in the largest children's
choir concert in the world. Hosted at the MEN in Manchester,
the children performed a wide variety of songs and dance
moves in front of other schools, family and friends. This is
always a fabulous event and despite the late night, the
children really enjoy the opportunity to perform.
