Thursday 7 May 2026 Year 6: Musical Madness Life in Year 6 took an electric turn recently when 11 pupils experimented with creating a band. Rehearsing in their own time in small groups, the band came together for a couple of practices before performing 'Our House' by Madness to Mr. Bridle. Mr. Bridle was very impressed with the way the children listened to each other in order to keep time, and the effort they'd put in. Thank you to the small group of singers who helped the band keep on track, and to Baxter who was absent on the day of the performance.
