The fire was roaring and the elderly residents were eager for our performance.  Following a fantastic performance of all our carols the Year Six boys shook hands with the old people wishing them a Merry Christmas.  Some of the old ladies hugged and kissed them thanking them for their singing.  One of our lads even remarked that we should do more for the people living there as they probably "wouldn't even have anyone to visit them on Christmas Day". This was a rewarding end to a very hard working term and we look forward to building our connections with the Stanley Park Care Home and its residents.  Merry Christmas to them from Bloemfontein Primary School! http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34767 http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34767 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT From 10.45am to lunchtime http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34761 http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34761 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT All children are invited to take part in Christmas Lunch http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34762 http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34762 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT Children back in school http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34763 http://www.bloemfontein.durham.sch.uk/34763 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT
