Swimming lessons in Year 2 also hold a special place in my memory. Henry and Tony would drive us back and forth to the Oundle Pool in the minibus. Afterwards, we would all sit on the carpet in Mrs Larkins’ room, eating digestive biscuits while she read The Magic Faraway Tree to us. One of the highlights of Year 2 was taking on main roles in the infants' play—I was the Snow Queen in The Naughty Sunbeam. While the actual performance is a bit of a blur, I clearly remember rehearsals in the New Hall with Mrs Allen and Miss Clews choreographing the dances. Another Miss Clews speciality was maypole dancing: weaving in and out to country music to create beautiful patterns down the pole.Katie, LJS (1994 to 1999)
