On 17th June 2019, six pupils visited Barnwell School to join in  the celebrations at the end of the collaborative project amongst Stevenage schools to join in the Stevenage Festival 2019. All Lonsdale pupils had helped to make instruments together with many volunteers from Tescos, who joined us for a day in May 2019. Our shakers and drums were used by the Stevenage public yo join in the celebrations in St George's Square at the beginning of June.

At Barnwell School, several schools who had taken part came together to meet the Stevenage Mayor, sing and sign songs together and celebrate the successful conclusion of the town-wide project. Our six Lonsdale pupils all did us proud! They performed three songs and taught the other schools the signs to sing and sign along.

Mr Simon Speller, the Mayor of Stevenage, spent some time talking to the pupils and passed on his thanks to everyone at Lonsdale School.
