Virtual Choir: Proud
During Remote Learning, as part of a whole school project linked to the value ‘PROUD’, we organised a virtual choir!
It was important for us to continue to enjoy singing and find an opportunity to come together and celebrate our efforts and achievements during a challenging time.
We hope you enjoy watching and singing along to this video!
