Mrs Holbourn had a treat yesterday morning, watching Class 3 design and start constructing their Christmas Coffee Afternoon games.So many different ideas from ducks to presents being blown up a chimney!Can't wait to see them all being played!
It doesn't seem a year since we last did this! Great excitement as we created some more lovely wreaths for the Christmas church decorations. A mixture of strong smelling pine, teasels, holly and ivy were used to create our masterpieces! I think the most excitement came with the snow, gold and silver sprays however.A very big thank you to Rob' and [...]

Look at this superb Torah which took nearly all week to make! Class 2's biggest marble, the humpergumper, was justifiably rewarded! It is always so nice to see children taking their [...]

Hopefully you got to sample the great bread we made today!
