Our ACE children had a second visit to Revolution Skatepark and Climbing Centre This time the group were given the opportunity to use scooters in the skatepark. The children were cautious to begin with but it was fantastic to see their confidence blossom throughout the session and by the end the children were having a great time (and going rather fast!). 🛴 Great work everyone!

St Mildred's Class gave a magnificent winter performance this week! It was a winter themed story with some of our favourite fairy tale characters! The children handmade all of the costumes, sang beautifully and acted with great enthusiasm, then ended their magical day with a Royal Banquet fit for kings and queens inspired by our Traditional Tales topic.
