On Friday 5th December, 43 of our KS2 children went to Snape Maltings to watch the Co-op Juniors perform their annual Christmas Extravaganza. The show was amazing; it was truly West End quality and got us all in the Christmas Spirit! The children were captivated from start to finish and everyone had their own favourite moments. It was really interesting to hear on the coach journey that there are a number of Britannia children attending dance troupes and some are even members of Co-op Juniors.
