Danes Hill held their annual Grandparents Day on Friday 14 June, with grandparents visiting from all over the world, some travelling from South Africa, others from New Zealand and even South America. The Danes Hill children were so pleased to have their grandparents in school for the morning to celebrate the wonderful work of our students.
At Bevendean Mini Transition, Transition, Reception and Year 1 welcomed their Grandparents with a concert of beautiful singing. Afterwards the children showed their grandparents their classroom, desk and some of their schoolwork. At the Main School grandparents enjoyed performances from the Lower School followed by the Middle and Upper School. Year 2 performed their space song from their recent Space themed show whilst Year 3 provided an early preview of a song from their upcoming production Mystery at Magpie Manor. The Middle School choir performed Dont Stop Believin and Aint No Mountain High Enough whilst the jazz band performed the Peter Gunn Theme and various children showcased their Lamda monologues and duologes. This variety of talent was greatly enjoyed by the grandparents who sang the praises of all the peformers involved.
Following the performances, grandparents enjoyed tours of the school by the grandchildren, seeing some of their work and achievements. Followed by a delicious spread of afternoon tea and Pimms on the Headmasters Lawn. We are so grateful to all the grandparents who came to visit us from far and wide, what a brilliant day!
