A group of children from Year 5 had a super time filming with our friends, the 'Hensioners', as they recorded their fabulous Christmas song 'Dress me up for Christmas'. The song will help to promote the work of the Equal Arts HenPower project, which creatively engages older people in arts activities and hen-keeping to promote health and wellbeing and reduce loneliness. The Hensioners are regular visitors to our school so we were more than happy to help out, whilst having a lot of fun too!
