This is a very special experience for everyone in the school, beginning with a procession o...

Year 1 students have landed their topic on toys by creating their very own toy museum. They wrote informative leaflets about their personal toys and invited adults to come and discover more. The children had a great time playing the role of experts and proudly sharing their fantastic work.
