We had a great time up at the church hall yesterday afternoon watching (and joining in with!) the pantomime. Thank you so much to the Friends for raising all the money to pay for the pantomime and for providing each child with a treat.
Forest School After Dark
Last night, we played some games, we had some hot chocolate and biscuits round the fire and we sang some songs. It was fun because it was in the dark and we had to bring torches so we didn’t fall over.
