Congratulations to Nermeen, Kylan, Ava and Courtney

Santa came to find out who is on the good list!

Some of us were chosen to be in the special Christmas…

We have really enjoyed our PE this half term with Jamie our sports coach. He has been teaching us different rolls, jumps, balances, shapes and ways of travelling. This week we put all of these skills together and created a sequence to music.
