Today many of James' Dance Club performed at the Quarterhouse. The event was the Wavelengths Community Dance Day, it is the second year this exciting opportunity has been held. Various different Dance Schools joined in for this event, which was a pleasure to watch.

What a fabulous day we have had celebrating World Music Day today.

At lunchtime, Mrs Hodgkinson sang to the children in the hall whilst they ate their lunch.

A key fact we learnt about was that Monks would only have a proper bath once a year in Decemb
