School Christmas Carols night

Food and Carols night at Aldgate Primary. Here's Nora with her classmates from Reception and Year1. Its a bit hard to hear, but the song they are singing is called "Green, Green, Green".


Just a few more days and then her first year at school is over. Nora has really enjoyed the reception class with Mrs. S and made lots of new friends. But now its time for the Summer Holidays !!!
