  READ ALL ABOUT IT! 

  Have you seen the strange shop that has mysteriously appeared in Belper? Well, year 5/6 did and they have been interviewing local residents to find out all about it. Our classes turned into news rooms, as the children had to find out about the strange Nowhere Emporium. We learnt from Huw Edwards at the BBC that we had to be clear, concise and correct, so we did a lot of editing! See some of us in action and read some of our news reports below:

• Christmas Choir

  Mon 12 Dec 2022

  The Christmas Choir have enjoyed their first performance of the year, singing a range of traditional and modern Christmas carols.  They sang at the Congregational Chapel for the Belper District 50+ Forum and, as in previous years, the audience really enjoyed their singing and the actions for Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer! We have already been invited back again next year.

  We are incredibly proud of all those who sang today and represented Long Row with such enthusiasm, and we look forward to more singing in the run-up to Christmas.
