Beech Class Christmas Performance

 As I'm sure you are aware, Beech Class will be performing both a poem and a song for this year's Christmas Performance.

Each child has a copy of the poem and the verse they are learning, along with a copy of the lyrics for our class song; Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Below is the link to the version we have been learning in school for your child to listen and rehearse to at home!
