Each House had been practising hard to ensure a polished performance – complete with actions, props and a few altered lyrics of course – of their chosen song, on a ‘numbers’ theme. St Monica’s were…
As part of Blue Coat’s Community Outreach project, the Board Games and Gardening TED groups went into the local community and planted some lovely daffodils and bluebells along a small stretch of land on the Harborne Walkway.
