When we returned from February half term we celebrated Book Week. Lots of fun activities were held to celebrate books and the joy of reading. Each class chose a book and all their English lessons for the week were based around this. The teachers swapped classes and read books to different children, we launched the FRED reading programme, held a second hand book sale and each class decorated their classroom door. Prizes were awarded for the winning classes who had the best decorated door. Well done to Nursery and Sea Turtle.
The Porters Grange Choir took part in Southend Makes Music on Monday 25th February and had the amazing experience of performing on stage to an audience of parents and friends. We left school at 3pm and travelled by train to Westcliff Station, arriving at the theatre in time for a short rehearsal on stage before having a picnic tea in the café area. After this we changed into our choir polo shirts and waited in the green room for our turn to perform. Once on stage we sang 'Land of the Silver Birch' and a medley of Abba songs, which the audience loved. We then went up to the 'Gods' to watch the performances of other schools. It was an exciting and memorable day.
