Assembly Friday 28th Feb (Hannah's Class)

Hi all, I hope you had a lovely break! This week is our assembly and we are focusing on the theme of teamwork mixed with Literacy week. The children have been given their lines/drama groups so I ask that they start practising each night. The chosen song for the assembly is 'We're all in this together' by High School Musical cast. I will be giving out the lyric sheets tomorrow and if the children can start learning the song (chorus and 1 verse) from tomorrow on, that would be great! If you have any other questions, please let me know :) Hope to see you all there! Thanks a mill, Hannah
