Plenty to sing about as Aled Jones and Songs of Praise pay school a visit

Singing and a little bit of dancing  were captured on film when Aled Jones came to Calderdale.

The singer and presenter was at the predominantly Muslim Parkinson Lane Primary School, Halifax, to film a special episode of the BBC's Songs of Praise.

The school choir entered the Songs of Praise Choir Competition, and a film crew visited to see the music, dance and drama pupils are producing.

Daniel Bath, music teacher, said: "I wanted to enter because there is a common perception that Muslims don't do music or singing and I wanted to show that is not true – the children love singing." The programme will be broadcast on BBC1 on March 22.
