This Wednesday and Thursday were particularly special for Year 2, as not only does it mark the end of a fabulous first term in Year 2, but also as the children were luck enough to perform a nativity in St. Matthias Church!

All three classes were excellent, both in their acting skills and their readings as well. As we are sure you are aware, there was a lot of work that went into these productions, from practising their lines and acting to learning the songs with the support of 'Bosh' from Artis.

A big thank you goes to the following people for helping to support the children with this impressive feat:

• The class teachers – Miss Clough, Mrs Houllier, Mr Charlton and Mr Murphy
• Our class support – Mrs Bedi, Miss Jeffs, Miss Bannenburg and Miss Byran-Kerr
• All of the parent helpers who supported us, from dressing the children in their fabulous outfits to assisting with the walk down – it cannot be done without you!
• Mrs Welsh and Rebecca Mohammed for their excellent work with the choir
• Mrs Whymark and the Reverend Anne Crawford for giving lovely speeches
• Finally, all the children, who shone in their respective performances!
