Marathon Kids Final
We have finished our Marathon Kids programme and were all awarded our own Medals. Congratulations 5th/6th class for putting in all of the hard work. We are so proud of you! Wahoo
Christmas Play
This year we decided to write our own Christmas Play. We brainstormed ideas and all chose our 'Santa's Hat' idea. It is a story where three children steal Santa's magic hat and must travel through the lands of festivities to return it to the big man before they lose Christmas forever.
We have been working extremely hard on our performance and are so proud of ourselves. Come cheer us on and share in a laugh or two (or three).
Come see us perform on Thursday and Friday this week (See parents' text and Autumn newsletter for more information)
