There is no History this week as a select few children from key stage two will be attending a special musical concert on Tuesday morning. I will be driving these children in the minibus, so Mrs Murphy will have the remaining children to teach them science, and the PE session will be run by the PE guys for the other half of the children. 

If your child is attending the concert, please can they wear school uniform on Tuesday.
