Hello and welcome to another Stepping Stones blog post, being sent to you all the way from Never Neverland. Since our last post the plan was to move on from the Peter Pan theme and start exploring Jack and the Beanstalk.

Years 1 and 2 had lots of fun during the Multi-Skills session this morning. Braunton School put on lots of activities for us; throwing and catching, hula-hooping, skipping, balancing beanbags and lots more!
