Today the infants performed the first of their Christmas concerts to a very packed hall full of proud parents and friends. Everyone agreed that it was a great final concert in our old school hall.
Next year there will be much more space, but maybe a little less atmosphere. Dressed in their Victorian clothes, it did feel like we were back in the year 1859!
This is what the children wrote...
" My Nan came and she was really impressed. Red class were actors and my brother was Santa Claus and he made me laugh. He looked really good and was really funny. I had to sing by myself. The song was called, 'I wish I was a fairy on a Christmas tree', and it was a very gentle song." Kiesha, Y2
" My favourite song was 'Jolly old Father Christmas'. And at the end of the concert Miss Proctor took pictures of us and I enjoyed it very much." Ashanti, Y2
"I liked the Christmas cracker song, because after we sang it, Red class pulled their crackers. My Mum, Dad and sister enjoyed it. Jane said that it was the best concert at Redbridge Primary School." Leshanna, Y2
" My Mum and Dad loved it. My Mum nearly cried and my Dad kept looking at me because he loved it as well. Jane loved it and she clapped, and told everyone to do three cheers." Ellie, Y2
All of the Junior classes and Y2 contributed to a drawing of the school, as it would have looked in 1859. that we used as our scenery.

Today the children stepped inside the new school for the first time...and were very excited!
It's supposed to be finished by Friday, but there still seemed quite a lot left to do! Several children offered to help with the painting!
We were very impressed by the height of the school hall, and the atrium area, and everyone was itching to get inside the classrooms.
We looked in the windows of the classrooms and Jane's office, as they were full of the things from our old school!
We looked at the playground area, and we can't wait for there to be some grass, so we can get out onto the field. At the moment there is rather a lot of mud everywhere!
