Children were spending their pocket money on the hit the teacher coconut shy and sponge the teacher! Not forgetting we were joined by our special VIP’s Lenny and Alan (the alpacas!) We’re already looking forward to next year.

Y4 taking brownies to the food bank!

We had a lovely morning delivering our delicious brownies to the food bank for food parcels and for the volunteers. The volunteers were so kind showing us how the food bank works and they were even kind enough to give the children juice and chocolate! Thank you so much for having us and we hope you enjoy the brownies!

Class 10 brownie delivery service!

Class 10 had another day in the community spreading joy and happiness to others. We had the pleasure of taking brownies to the local Casino Court. It was such a lovely sight seeing the children explain their learning, share their delicious treats and put a smile on the faces in the Centre. We appreciate the kindness we received back and also the drinks provided! We hope you enjoyed it as much as you did!

Well done everyone – I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
