Young Voices 2022

Palfrey Junior School's Young Voices choir took part in a concert on Friday 20th May 2022 at the NEC Resorts World  Arena in Birmingham. It was a fantastic experience that the children will never forget.

Not only did they get to perform with a live band, musical director and conductor  with choirs from 104 other schools across the region, but they also got to see amazing performances from a well known singer Roachford, Urdan Strides ( a phenomenal street dance crew) and Beat Box collective ( WOW!).

Our choir were FANTASTIC, they sounded awesome and sang and danced their hearts out. 

If you look really closely at the video below you can see our banner hanging right at the top of the arena inline with the steps that run up from the stage on the right hand side!!

Author Day

Serena Patel Online Visit

This week, every class had a question and answer session through video chat with Serena Patel, a new children’s author from Walsall and  and the characters in her books reflect the diversity of the area.   She writes a series of books about Anisha Mistry, a Hindu girl from  Birmingham, with a large and noisy family, who enjoys science, maths and solving mysteries. We have read the first chapter of her first book ‘Anisha: Accidental Detective’ and prepared some questions that we wanted to find out about. It was interesting to learn about how important planning and editing is in the writing process and how long she spends editing, changing and  improving her writing. We tried to predict who we thought had  committed the crime using the evidence from the book, but we will have to read the rest of the story to find out if we were right!
