All music bags (grade 1 – 6) were sent home at the end of term 1. Could all music bags please be returned to school ASAP. It’s extremely important that all children have their own equipment during this pandemic. To keep our classroom and instruments as hygienic as possible, there will be no sharing of equipment. Children without recorder equipment will be provided with alternative tasks to complete during Performing Arts sessions.
