World Book Day
Today, to celebrate World Book Day, the children and staff were invited to come in dressed up as a word and they did not disappoint.

STUNNING SUNSETS
As part of our TED day, we spent some time using the oil pastels to create some artwork.

The children were really resilient with their artwork and managed to produce some stunning pieces.
