Safer Internet Day activities

KS2 School Choir, Young Voices Concert, Genting Arena, Birmingham

Choirs range from 4,500 to 8,500 children, all performing at the same time to capacity audiences of friends and family.

Nothing can prepare you for the sound of thousands of children singing in harmony. Young Voices combines the power of singing together as one, with accompaniment from a wide range of musicians and artists, to create an amazing performance.

Every year, schools across the country practise our music in class with their teachers to prepare themselves to take part in these massive concerts. 

Remembrance Poppy Displays 

For half-term homework the children were asked to make a poppy.  These wonderful works of art were then taken to Morrisons Supermarket in Lutterworth to help make a display.  Many thanks to all the children for their spectacular contribution to support such a worthy cause.
