The school also hosted Kirkland's Got Talent 2025 as part of the event.
Helen added: "Children who chose to take part selected their acts; some went solo and some teamed up with their friends for a group performance.
"We had a great variety of acts, including singing, comedy, gymnastics, football, and ventriloquism.

"Children from nursery up to year 6 performed on the stage.
"One of our Year 6 pupils hosted the show, doing an amazing job, and another pupil helped out with music.
"Families came along to watch, and it was a wonderful afternoon. We were very proud of all the children who worked hard on their acts."
