The children had a wonderful day celebrating their uniqueness with crazy hair styles! It was wonderful to see so many creative designs and colours. The children were so confident! Well done all! Thank you to those who donated to our trips and visits fund.

Thank you all for your kind donations to celebrate harvest time. The food that was collected was taken to support a local foodbank. Thank you to Mrs Young for delivering it for us.

Black History Month:

Throughout October, the children learnt about key historical black men and women that changed the course of history through their bravery and actions.
