Musical Notes This week we held the Chorister auditions for York Minster. Six of our Year 3 children sang to Mr Sharpe, Director of Music and took part in a workshop with our singing teacher Ms Cunnold. They all sang beautifully, overcoming their nerves and Mr Sharpe was impressed with all of the children. Well done to all of our children, whatever the outcome, you really all gave it your best effort.
