X Factor 2012
The children of Swinemoor Primary School have experienced an X – Factor competition! All the school sang ‘SING’ by Gary Barlow. Then each year group sang a different song. The judges gave some very good feed back and some constructive criticism. After that when the judges were deciding the winner we had some entertainment from Mr Myers, Mr Williams, Mr McGowan,
Mr Dallywater and Mr Tierney. They were the “Wrong Direction”. All the children had a fantastic time.
The judges were very cool, one of them had appeared on the actual X Factor!
In third place it was The Rainbow Rockers singing and dancing to Katy Perry’s ‘The One That Got Away’. In second place it was The Cool girls singing Elton John’s ‘Your Song’.
In first place it was the The Grenade Boys singing Bruno Mars’s ‘Grenade’.
Every one had a fantastic time and it was a great end to the first half term.
