LOWER SCHOOL'S STAGE STARS
The lead up to Christmas is always 'performance season' in a primary school and it has been no different this year at Chesterton. This week saw two performances of Lower School’s production of 'Baubles', which followed the story of Mrs Potts, the hardworking school caretaker, whose specially made Christmas decorations told the story of the first Christmas. It is a genuine pleasure for me, as headteacher, to be part of the audience and I know that parents, grandparents and other relatives shared in the enjoyment of seeing so many enthusiastic and smiling actors and singers. This year, the contribution of our new pupils was particularly noticeable, both Maple Class' beautiful costumes and singing and some starring roles for those children who have joined Chesterton in other year groups during the last twelve months. These productions require a lot of hard work - from teachers, teaching assistants, pupils and parents – but I hope that you agree that the results are well worth the effort.
