Today our Northmoor choir went to sing at Chadderton Tesco. We were very excited to entertain the public. Many people stood and listened to our wonderful singing before moving on to do their shopping. I hope we were able to put a smile on peoples faces as big as the ones that we had!

As part of our Stones 'n' Bones history topic, we were visited today by someone all the way from the Stone Age! Lucy told us all about what life was like for her thousands of years ago and showed us different artefacts from her time. We experimented with bones to see what tools we would have made with them, made our very own flint arrows, drew delightful cave paintings and then hunted animals with a bow and arrow! What superb shots we had!

How interesting it was!
