A huge well done to all our Y4s for their wonderful performance of The Emerald Crown on Thursday. We are so proud of all of you. Thank you to all our Y4 staff for supporting and for encouraging our children to be their best.
The Year 4s have had wonderful visits to Tropical World. They have learnt so much. We can't wait to show you all the hard work that is going into the Emerald Crown production.
