A massive well done to the Young Voices Choir, who sang at the O2 on Monday 5^th March.  The 30 children, accompanied by Mrs Symes, Mrs Gates, Mrs Brown and Mrs Spiegal, left school at 11.30am and took the coach to London.  After eating lunch on the coach, they caught their first glimpse of the O2 and the excitement level rose – again!  On entering the O2 and realising how amazing their seats were – SO close to the stage and with a clear view of where their parents and family would be sitting later to watch them – the children were visibly excited.  However, they were incredibly well-behaved, not only throughout the 2 and a half hour rehearsal, but through the 2 hour performance itself.  The show was awesome, with the Chawton Young Voices adding their weight to the massed choir of 8,000 children.  Singing alongside extremely talented musicians and singers, including Connie Talbot, the High Kings (an Irish folk band), Randolph Matthews (a singer who combines soul, jazz and ethnic beat box) and a surprise appearance by Beverly Knight, the children gave it their all – everyone rocked and danced their hearts out!  By the end of the evening the children were exhausted but had had a fantastic night and so too, we are told, did the audience.  Young Voices of Chawton have left their mark on the O2 and have many wonderful memories of the event to look back on.  Young Voices you rock!

Green Class had an exciting time this term when they visited by the Open Box Theatre Company.

They had great fun acting out being various old fashioned toys!  

World Book Day 2012 was a great success! A big thank you to all the children for taking part, dressing up as favourite book characters. Also to all the parents who put so much thought and effort into the costumes. 

The children all got in to the spirit of the day by sharing different books and voting for a class favourite. This was shared at the end of the week during Achievement Assembly.

The teachers also took part in the fun by dressing up as characters from the popular story ‘Charlie Cooks Favourite Book’ by Julia Donaldson!

The whole school took part in panckae races to celebrate Shrove Tuesday!

We raced in our House Teams Eagles, Hawks and Eagles!

Even the teachers joined in with Mr Nabb winning for Eagles!
