Babes in the Wood Panto

This week 33 students went to The Playhouse Nottingham to watch the pantomime, Babes in the Wood.

Everyone had a great time and loved all the jokes, dancing and music that the pantomime had to offer.

As an extra surprise, 3 Ash Lea students  were invited on stage to help with the final song and received Goody bags to take home.

A big thanks to FOALS who provided a coach for the trip.
