Ceilidh Workshop
On Monday 11th November, Birch class were joined by some children from Broad Town school to attend a Ceilidh workshop.
The children had the opportunity to learn about the history of this traditional style of music, the instruments used and learned to sing a sea shanty with accompanying movements.
The children really enjoyed this workshop and it was a wonderful musical experience.
