CHILDREN from Hawes Primary School enjoyed a successful run at the Wensleydale Tournament of Song held last month at Tennants Auctioneers in Leyburn.

Classes three and four took part in the annual event, with class four pupils coming first their category singing Believe by Lin Marsh in two-part harmony.

The adjudicator said: “Really good singing - a uniform sound that you projected into the room well. The harmony was secure, very well disciplined and organised. Well sung.”

Class three were placed third in their category, singing Hey Escher by Barry Russell.

The adjudicator said “This was a hard song to sing, it has difficult rhythm and not the most obvious of tunes. It contains lots of difficult words but you rose to the challenge, your words were clear and your rhythm was secure. Well done.”

The school also celebrated success at the Upper Wensleydale Primary Cluster Gymnastics Team Competition which they won.
