Children in Need

It is also Children in Need on Friday 19th November. The theme this year is ‘Together We Can’. In the academy we will be getting our ‘Strictly On’. Children can dress up in Pudsey themed clothing or choose to wear smart or strictly style clothing. During ‘Children in Need Day’ we will be having a dance competition where all classes will be performing a class dance. We hope everyone will enjoy the day.
