Life Skills - Sharing and turn taking


Griffin, Henry and Josh were playing happily together, sharing blocks and taking turns with the trains and the Lego.
Great sharing and learning.

Pirate Invasion


Room 16 was invaded by a couple of pirate scallywags.  They held poor Mrs Shore prisoner and tied her up by her hands and feet.  They refused to cut her loose and thought that she couldn't escape. Unbeknown to them Mrs Shore was an expert escaper and she managed to break free. Room 16 is full of fun and antics!

Soccer Skills Time




Jenna had a blast when the football lads came into the school.  She loved running around, dribbling the ball and doing the drills.
Great work Jenna

Super star in the making.  Jenna had a blast belting out a few tunes on the sing star game.  She had loads of fun and lots of laughs.

Cross Country

Griffin had an amazing day, running the cross country and then supporting the other children who were running after him.  Great work Griffin.  A huge thanks must go to Mr Benbow for running with Griffin and Henry.
