Linking school visit to St.Peter's
Date: 30th Apr 2024 @ 7:40am
29.4.24 - We loved our visit to St.Peter's yesterday! It was brilliant for the children to see all of their new friends again. We played handball, had a long play time where we tried out their trim trail as well as some of us playing football, and finished the day creating our 'Together Towns' in pairs. For this activity, the pairs had to think about what they would like in their 'perfect' town to ensure it was a safe and happy place for all. The children worked with each other fantastically and all of them had the confidence to join in too. I have uploaded some photographs for you to see!
