Missing Violin

17/12/2018

0 Comments

 
A half-size violin, belonging to Eva (4A), has been missing since Friday.
It is likely that someone else with a half-size violin, in the same case (purple and blue), has taken Eva's violin home by mistake. Please check your violin case.

If you have Eva's violin, please return it to Miss Rusbatch, or the 4A classroom. Thank you.

HUGE thanks to everyone who turned up to M&S on Saturday, despite the miserable winter weather. You sang beautifully and raised lots of money for Rockinghorse - a Brighton-based charity that supports sick children and babies.

WOWEEEEEEEE! Well done to everyone involved in yesterday's concert to ex-pupils, and last night's festive celebration at St. Bartholomew's Church. The feedback from audience members and school staff has been overwhelmingly positive. You should be incredibly proud of yourselves. Thank you for working and rehearsing so hard. You're shining stars!

Keep your eyes peeled for photos and videos over the next few days - they'll appear on the Christmas 2018 web page.

Congratulations to the Year 6 Super Choir - they sang their socks (and Santa hats) off last night at the Brighton Centre, alongside 1,300 children from 43  schools.

We were accompanied all evening by the Brighton and Hove Wind Orchestra and the Brighton and Hove Youth Big Band; both groups included ex-pupils of Downs Junior School.
