Another Christmas Hit - Year 7's 'Christmas Live' Concert

Wednesday, 20 January 2010 10:15

Year 7 students really enjoyed their festive Christmas treat as Norfolk Music Service's own pop band paid a special visit to our school in the last week of term to perform a 'Live Concert'. Students really showed their appreciation in the traditional manner and it was great to see them all dancing and singing along. Here's what some of them said:

• 'Live performances are more entertaining than CD's as you have to look somewhere and we are dancing and watching them play'.
• 'What I enjoyed the most was being able to sing along'.
• 'I loved 'Dancing Queen'
