Foundation, Year 1 & 2 Performing Baarmy Bethlehem
On Thursday 11th December Years 1, 2 and Foundation performed Baarmy Bethlehem at St Denys. It was a magical performance. The children sang beautifully, remembered all their lines and acted, danced confidently. Well done to all the children involved, the staff, Mr Bailey, Owen and Laura for the lights and sound, Mrs Jones and the Governors for the refreshments and the St Denys Team.
During both performances we also took a collection for the British Red Cross and raised £315.48. Thank you for your generosity.

Big Christmas Sing
On Tuesday 2nd December the choir went into Oxford to take part in the Christmas Big Sing. They sang some Christmas songs and carols alongside a number of other schools and also performed their own song. They sounded amazing - they were loud, confident and enthusiastic. Well done to the choir and to Miss Bowden for working hard with them. It definitely got us all into the Christmas spirit while also raising much needed funds for the charity Christian Aid.
