HUNDREDS of schoolchildren were in top voice once again as The Infant Schools Singing Festival 2010 moved into its second day.

As reported, about 1,000 children from various schools around North East Lincolnshire will take to the stage at Grimsby's Central Hall this week as part of the four-day event, which aims to highlight the threat posed to the planet by global warming.

Tuesday's billing featured pupils from New Waltham Primary School, South Parade Primary School, Reynolds Primary School, Healing Primary School, Bursar Primary School, Wybers Wood Primary School, Canon Peter Hall Primary School and Stanford Junior Primary School.

Speaking after the show, Chris Johnson, consultant head of the Music And Performing Arts Service, said the afternoon's performance had been a great success.

Children from a host of primary schools across the region took part in the second day of the Infant Schools Singing Festival 2010.

"Today certainly has to go down as one of the best I've been involved in.

"The positive attitude shown by the children, combined with the hard work and preparation put in by the school, made for a fantastic show.

"We had a really enthusiastic crowd today and everyone involved has thoroughly enjoyed it once again."

Sandra Philpott, 52, of Coulbeck Drive, Cleethorpes, went to watch her seven-year-old granddaughter Holly, who attends Bursar Primary School.

She said: "It was absolutely brilliant and was marvellous to see.

"All of them did themselves, their schools and their families proud."

Dorothy Humberstone, 73, of Cleethorpes, said: "It was a lovely afternoon's entertainment and well worth coming to."

Other schools taking part in the festival, and appearing in the Grimsby Telegraph this week, are: Western Primary School; Thrunscoe Primary School; Weelsby Primary School; Grange Primary School; Willows Primary School; Lisle Marsden Primary School; Fairfield Primary School; Signhills Infant School; Eastfield Primary School; St Martin's Preparatory School; and Waltham Leas Primary School.

Each performance starts at 2.15pm with an entrance fee of £1.
