School Choir

On Friday 1st December all of Boothferry Primary School Choir met up at the Junction for their performance at the Goole Christmas Lights switch on. We went on the stage and sung with the band. We performed 2 songs by our selves: When you Say Nothing At All’ and ‘Rocking around the Christmas tree’. Everyone was really pleased with our performance and we even got a mention on twitter from Ronan Keating himself, who liked our performance!
