CHILDREN have been practising their routines and learning songs for a school spectacular.

About 200 students at Spring Meadow Primary School spent the day on Wednesday preparing for their annual Music and Dance event at Dovercourt Haven Caravan Park last night.

About 350 tickets were sold for the show, which sees the pupils sing, dance and play their way through a 90 minute performance.

Headteacher Linda Gildea said: “Our children have become exceptionally strong in music and dance, with a positive culture of performance and musical ability. It’s a joy for everyone involved.”
