Year 4 and 3 French Day
Just to let you know that on Friday Years 3 & 4 will be joining Pre-prep in their French Day celebrations. Both 3s and 4s will be singing some of the songs that we have learned in our French lessons. The concert begins at 9 AM and should not last more than an hour. Year 3 and 4 pupils will go back into lessons after the concert. As it is non-uniform day I have asked pupils to wear something red, blue and/or white. No Football/rugby tops please for the performance. Merci Madame Dodson
