Singing.... Room 14 style!

Room 14 are so good at packing up in the afternoons that we often have a spare couple of minutes to sing a song at the end of the day.

This week our assembly song is 'Sweet Caroline' by Neil Diamond, lots of teachers at Hampstead like this song! 

We were enjoying it so much yesterday that we started dancing, take a look at the video Miss Brown took of us...
