Year 1 discussed the ways we can show and share love and also recognised that we can have a love of doing things. We decided to share our love of dance with our friends in Year 2. Year 2 were invited to watch our final performance of our 'Cats' routine. What a success is was! Year 1 were all star performers and all work and photographs were created by the children. A special thanks to Mrs O'Hare for all her hard work and support with the routine. Well done everyone!
