This afternoon we visited The Lowry Theatre to watch a production of The Gruffalo’s Child. We all thought it was amazing and joined in with all the rhyming words and actions. On the way home we sat on the top deck of the bus (which was very exciting!) and sang Christmas songs all the way back. What a perfect afternoon!
