This looks great for children who enjoy singing in a choir. I am a big fan of choir singing and I‘m a member of Rock Choir in Chesterfield

Does your child love to sing? The Crooked Spire is hosting a Be a Chorister for the Day event on Saturday 19th August. It's an excellent opportunity for children to experience the thrills of singing and being part of a church choir.

Westfield Infants’ Create Club took their inspiration from the collages of Eric Carle. Who he? Well if I said ‘hungry caterpillar’ would that help?
We made our own collage papers and used bubble wrap to print onto tissue paper. Then we cut and tore the papers to make our pictures ✂️
