The day culminated in an amazing concert performance and I know that the audience were hugely impressed with all the children. The singing was truly wonderful to hear and it was especially moving to have so many children singing together in one place after restrictions have not allowed us to do that for so long. There was even a dance off between the performers and the audience. The children are very clear about who the winners of that were!
