Pantomime Visit

Reminders

We had a FABULOUS time at the

pantomime today. The children
behaved impeccably (Harris Standard
) despite the younger children being
delayed in getting back to school due
to a traffic incident. Thank you very
much to our PTFA who funded,
organised and supported the event.
Thank you also to those parents and
friends who came along to support us
today.
